Outfit a day every day in May {week three}

One more week left! 

May 17

Maxi dresses are amazing. 

(Especially when you don't want to shave...)

Dress: Ross || Scarf: Rue 21 || Shoes: Target 

May 18

I love this dress but haven't worn it in a long time since it got an ink stain... boooo. I finally managed to get it out though with a combination of hydrogen peroxide, Dawn dish soap, Shout, and lots of elbow grease. Yay!

Dress: Downeast Basics (old) || Shoes and pearls: thrifted

May 19

This is kind of a crazy pattern, but I love it!

Shirt: Downeast Basics || Cardigan: F21 || Belt: Charlotte Russe (?)

May 20 and 21

I was a little apprehensive at first, but now I love my pink pants probably more than I should.

May 22

I mentioned this shirt briefly in my previous post, but here it is again! I really love how it turned out after I altered it and added the belt for some shape. It is this pretty, silky fabric too that is really cool and comfy. It looks much better in real life, not that my awkward self-timer shots aren't lovely, but...

May 23 and 24 

Yesterday was a t-shirt kind of day. In fact, I might just change back into a t-shirt this afternoon while I finish packing... which I should probably be doing instead of blogging, but whatevs.

Outfit a day every day in May {week two}

(See week one here)

I'm loving this outfit a day challenge on instagram, and I'm very proud of myself for not missing a day yet. Hopefully I can keep it up through the end of the month, although our upcoming trip to Spain (Eeeeeeeek!!!) might interfere, and I'm 100% okay with that! That's one of the reasons why I am posting this weekly since I'm pretty sure that blogging isn't going to be on my mind at the end of the month while I'm celebrating my birthday in beautiful Madrid. :D

Anyway. Here's my outfits from the past week! 

May 9 & 10 

Not a huge fan of the outfit on the left, but I guess that's what I get for procrastinating the laundry. ;)

I jumped on the bubble necklace bandwagon, and I ain't looking back.

Can you tell I love to wear colors? ;)

Outfit a day every day in May {week one}

This month I am doing Harley from Harley and Jane's "outfit a day every day in May" (#ootdeverydaymay) challenge. If you follow me on instagram, this is why I'm spamming up your feed this month with lots of pictures of me looking awkward in my outfit of the day. It makes me feel a little self-centered to share so many pictures of myself, but it's fun to look over all my outfits and see that I don't always look frumptastic, plus it motivates me to get creative and not wear the same thing every day!

P.S. If you are wondering why so many of these are a little on the dressy side, it's because I am a seminary teacher so I have to get to wear a skirt/dress 6 days a week, or even sometimes 7 if we go to the temple. Basically, the days that just show me in a dress or skirt are the days when I changed into sweats when I got home and never put on a more casual outfit. 

Go ahead, judge me. I probably deserve it. 

And so, without further ado, I present to you week one of my outfits from every day this month! 

May 1

I love this dress, even though it is a little "princessy".

If you want to read more about how I refashioned this (and see how pretty the detail is at the collar!), click here. 

Dress: thrifted and refashioned by me, shoes: Ross.

May 2

This is a pretty typical casual outfit for me. I love jeans, especially cuffed skinnies. 

Top: DownEast Basics, jeans: Old Navy, shoes: Ross, belt: Fover 21.

May 3 & 4

The 4th was a busy Saturday spent doing house/yard work, hence the exercise clothes.

(On the left) Top: Ross(?), jeans and scarf: Old Navy, shoes: Target.
(On the right) I think I got my Nikes at Ross, and I don't know where the rest is from
(Who cares anyway, right? It's just exercise clothes!)

May 5 

I love, love, love this dress! It is so comfortable and feminine.

Dress: thrifted, cardigan and belt: Forever 21, shoes: Ross
(I wear these shoes a lot, can you tell?)

May 6

Purple is not my favorite color, especially to wear, but I do like this dress!

I think the scarf helped break up the color a bit. 

Dress: thrifted, scarf: Old Navy, shoes: Charlotte Russe

May 7 & 8

Those heels are one of my favorite purchases from Russia! They are so comfortable, and so is the maxi dress. Also, I wish you could see my top a little better in the second outfit... oh well.
