{Performing Pins} My Mustard Addiction

1 Comment A Well Crafted Lady
I’m a fan of Pinterest.com.
(In case you couldn’t tell!)
But, like many fans I often pin away and don’t actually do/buy/make anything I’ve pinned.
(Sad Face)
Lately I have been challenging myself to actually DO the things I’ve pinned.
This challenge is going to be named {Performing Pins}.
(not too clever, I know.)
If you look at my pinterest board “Fashion: Clothing Wants” you might notice
(like I did)
that I have a thing for the color mustard.

So, when shopping for the fall I kinda went Mustard crazy.

Mustard flannel hat from local Fred Meyer, Mustard tights from Hue, Mustard top from Target and Mustard flats from Old Navy.
So, what has this got to do with parties? Well, not a WHOLE lot..
except, that it totally inspired a recent party look for me!
My lovely friends and family recently threw me and my little family a Sip and See when we traveled home to Oklahoma. (Photos coming to the blog soonish.)
I needed something cute, comfortable, Fall-like and party-worthy.
I pulled my inspiration from this beautiful photo from Dee Construction.
I loved the boots. I loved the blue dress. I loved the cardigan. And, I LOVED the mustard tights.
So, I went with it… I did need to find a blue dress with button down front or a flexible v-neck so feeding the little one would be no trouble and I knew that I’d be wearing my dark brown boots and tan sweater so I had to make the outfit work with that. Here is what I came up with:

Sweater: Forever 21, Dress: Old Navy, Tights: Hue.com, Boots: Sonoma Life & Style from Kohls

I think this look would  be great for a
Fall baby shower (as I wore it), Thanksgiving dinner or even a Sunday brunch.

Dressed to Party: Holiday Parties!

No Comments A Well Crafted Lady

I’ve been playing on Polyvore.com again! This time I was looking for festive outfits for holiday parties. These sets are ideal for a Christmas Cocktail Party, Holiday Open House, Work Party and New Years Eve Bash. Oh, and there might be one in there that inspires me for my Birthday! 😉

Holiday Cocktail Party
Finest of the Fine by jennibost featuring crystal bracelets
Couldn’t you just swoon over these dresses. And shoes. And accessories. Ahhh… it just makes me look forward to the holiday cocktail dresses. Let me know which is your favorite because I am certainly having trouble deciding mine!
Holiday Open House
Snug as A Bug by jennibost featuring a chunky sweater
I think sweater dresses or skirts with sweaters make fantastic outfits for something like an Open House. Make it pop with a little bit of holiday cheer with the accessories. (Don’t go cheesy with the Christmas tree bling, but rather check out the sweater bracelets and the adorable jingle bell ring.)
Work Holiday Party
Work It Girl by jennibost featuring miss selfridge tops
I love how both these outfits are stylish and work appropriate with just a touch of holiday cheer.

 

New Year’s Eve Bash
Blush, You Sparkle! by jennibost featuring a knit stocking
I love this set. It is one of the most expensive sets I’ve put together but I fell head over heals for that dress. Swoon. I think this set would be beautiful at a cocktail party, birthday celebration or a New Years Eve event.
