Remember last week when I said I was gonna dress like a grownup? Yeah, well it didn’t happen. My readers are smart. A couple of them suggested that I am, in fact, dressing like a grownup and that I have my own unique style that works for me. *fist bump* Thank you for checking me.

What I Wore Monday

What I Wore Monday
Cardi, Scarf, Headband ~ Target
Flower Brooch ~ Made by Me
Tunic ~ Forever 21
Jeans ~ Old Navy
Shoes ~ Clark’s Bendables, QVC

Growing up, we weren’t allowed to war pants to church. And jeans? My mom would’ve backhanded us. But this is what I wore to Wednesday evening services. I love the color combination, it made me feel happy and just a little bit quirky. Notice the crocheted flower brooch? I made it.

What I Wore Saturday

What I Wore Saturday
Scarf, Bangles, Boots, Socks ~ Target
Tunic ~ Old Navy
Denim Skirt ~ Gifted

I love love love boots and socks with a skirt. Maybe it comes from growing up in Italy and seeing women create their own unique style or maybe it’s just a fun look, I don’t know. I just know that I adore the look.

What I Wore Sunday

What I Wore Sunday
Tights ~ Target
Oxfords ~ Boscov’s
Boots ~ Payless

I also like tights. This is something I swore I’d never wear again once I became an adult.
Tights and stockings. Now I’m totally digging patterned and colored tights. This was the first time that I’ve ever worn them with oxfords and a skirt. Love it!

How do you define your style?

I’m linking up with Lindsay and Nina for their various fashion memes:

    Hey thanks for stopping by my blog! :) I read your “about me” and let me just say that my jaw fell to the floor when I read that you have two grand kids. Would NEVER have guessed that! :) You’re one stylin’ grandma!

      LOL Thanks. She’s actually my stepdaughter but I’ve had her since she was 8 and her children (all 2.5 of ‘em) call me Lela (for Grandma).

      I know you can’t tell from the pictures but in a previous life I used to do a bit of modeling. Actually that was 16 years and 35~40 lbs ago.

    You look fab! You’ve made me want to crack out my patterned tights now! xx

      Do it! I’m so loving patterned and colored tights. I have to keep myself from buying every pair I see.

    Oh my goodness!  I also grew up in a church where women and girls had to wear dresses or skirts – no pants.  Not even dress pants or pant suits.  Certainly no jeans!  And I also swore I wouldn’t wear tights when I got older LOL!  But tights today look so different than what I remember growing up. 

    You look lovely!

      Thank you, Mary Ellen. Too funny that we both grew up like that. But, yeah, I’m totally loving tights now but I still refuse to wear pantyhose (although if I saw a pair of seamed ones I might change my mind).
