Here are a couple of outfits that I came up with today using some of the inspiration from yesterday's post. I received a lovely necklace in the mail that I ordered off of etsy a couple of weeks ago and wore that all day today and based my outfit around it.

My hair is looking crazay in this picture.
I love pencil skirts! They are definitely a staple in my closet. Why? They are comfortable, flattering and I enjoy tucking shirts into them. I got this one from old navy (of course) and love it because of the wide waste band, dark denim and two button closure. I'm wearing a size 22 in this skirt and find it to be fitted, but also roomy in the waste which I like. It seems to be a little stretchy too. You can find it here.
This shirt I got recently from avenue.com which is very hit or miss store for me. Sometimes I love their clothes and sometimes I hate them. I love this shirt though. I ordered it online and really enjoy the small gold rose buttons and somewhat fringed fabric in the ruffles and sleeves. I love the collar too. It has an old romantic feel to me which I like. This shirt is a size 18/20 and could stand to be a bit looser on me,especially in the bust. Nothing Jillian's 30 day shred can't help with. You can find it here. (ps: if you ever order from avenue.com, google "avenue coupon codes" and you can get 20% off of every item you order)
Here is a close-up of my necklace. Disregard my creepy eyes here

This is definitely a "statement" necklace, to say the least. This would go in the category of things that I think are awesome. I bought this off of etsy from a lady in canada. Her website is here. I've got my eye on her bird cameo too! If you can't tell from the photo, it is an illustration of a fox. The original sale page is here.

Here is another outfit that I put together using a new-to-me accessory: a belt! I never wear belts. ever. Actually I could make a public stance against belts. They are silly to me. Well, jeans with belts and tucked in shirts are silly to me. Or wearing a belt with jeans and your shirt tucked out seems silly as well. Then again, wearing a belt over a tank top could certainly go in the category of weird as well. Anywho, I'm liking this look a lot!
It does for me what the pencil skirt does- accentuates the waste. This tank top was purchased at old navy a couple of summers back and its very loose and flowy. I think this belt brings it in and makes it look more polished in strange way. This is a size xxl. And the belt came with a skirt that I bought about three years ago. You can see the pants, but I am wearing these skinny jeans in a size 20. They fit and are comfortable and don't look bad with this outfit, however I would think they would look just a bit better with a 10-15 lb weight loss. My camera died before I could get a better full length photo, but will take another tomorrow.
I got this sweater in Chicago at Filene's Basement. I love the mustard color and big buttons. It is a size xl and fits pretty good. I like fitted clothes, what can i say?
I'm still working on a lot of my fall fashion ideas this week so bear with me, they're a comin'! I will keep posting them as I get them done and will post ideas if I have any. If you guys are trying out new outfits, please feel free to send me an email and I will post it here.
PS: I've started the Jillian Michael's 30-day shred with my sister in law and we are heading into day three tomorrow morning. I am so sore, but it feels really good to have someone to be accountable with. She is good at sticking to things and I don't want to let her down, so it pushes me to keep with it.
I also wanted to start posting my food, I did take a couple of pictures, but will probably post them tomorrow. Today I ate: a small salad (lettuce, eggs, broccoli, tomatoes) with light ranch dressing, banana, rice , beans, salad with guacamole, salsa and about 10 tortilla chips, for dinner I made homemade pizza (the crust) with sauce, fresh mozzarella and lots of onions. I had three small slices of that.
Tomorrow is local thursday's!
