What I Wore All Week, Again

Hi Friends!  Thanks for all your fun comments last week on my previous WIW post.  And thanks to those that hopped on over here from the Pleated Poppy and said "hi!".

Gosh, this picture taking every day thing is sort of daunting!  I have a confession, some days I forget to take my picture.  So for instance today Miranda stopped by, and being the great photographer that she is, I asked her to snap a few pictures of last week's outfits.  So if my hair and makeup look identical in a couple of pictures, now you know why.  And yes, I do remember what I wear from day to day.  How else can you keep track of being able to wear the same outfits multiple times in a week without being noticed?  My motto is if it's still clean, and I'm seeing a different set of friend that day, then go ahead and recycle that outfit!

So here we go.  I have to say that last week was a bit of an improvement on the previous week.  I definitely put a bit more thought into my choices.

Wednesday, go into Chartreuse to work on their blog, 

go into CIU to help out the hubby

What I Wore All Week

Hi there friends!  I'm going to do something a little different today, and I got the idea from the Pleated Poppy.  Lindsey has been posting her outfits that she wears throughout the week and having readers link up to post what they are wearing.  Fun right?

Okay, so I have to tell you all something.  I have linked up twice now, with my Playgrounds & Lollipops posts and you want to know something?  I have had A LOT of visits to my site from the Pleated Poppy over the last 3 weeks (like in the hundreds).    It's true...my analytics tells me so.  She's crazy big and gets that many visits people!  And you want to know something else?  Only one person from those visits has left a comment.  Now I will also tell you, and this is the God's honest truth, I did not link up to get views or comments.  I had no idea that many ladies would stop by.  I did it just because I thought it would be fun.  But when I started viewing the other gals outfit submissions that linked up and saw that they played along just like Lindsey, I started to doubt myself.

This is what I was thinking: Why hasn't anyone left a comment if that many have stopped by?  Do they think I'm some snobby fashion wanna be know-it-all that's trying to show off?  Or what if they think I'm some wannabe super model?  
Now I know those things aren't at all true, and you, my faithful readers know it's not true. I have clearly stated what the purpose of Playgrounds & Lollipops is for.  But if someone was just clicking away and briefly saw one of my P&L posts, they may think that right?  I might.  Hey, I've said I try not to be judgmental, but it doesn't always work.  I'm sure that's not the reason for the lack of comments though because I'm sure Lindsey's readers are very nice, but I'm starting to babble now so I will shut up!
Blogging can make you CUH-RAZY sometimes I tell ya!
I felt weird submitting my outfits, with photoshoped photos and even emailed Lindsey this after last week's submission:
Hi Lindsey,
Would you mind taking my link off of your last what I wore post from yesterday?  I decided to link up again, but after looking at all the other linkers, I sort of feel like my post doesn’t really play by the exact ‘guidelines’ if you will, and I don’t want to feel like I’m hijacking your post.  Sorry.
Sincerely,
Andrea
The weird girl that worries too much about what others will think

Lindsey then emailed me back and told me she never set any guidelines and if I really wanted her to take it down she would, but she thought I should keep it up.  She was extremely nice and gracious about it.  I told her that for kicks and giggles, this week I would play along nice and submit my real every day outfits.
p.s. Aside from the first day, I had Art take the pictures for me because I am just lame at the self portraits.

So here goes:

Last Thursday I went to the prayer meeting at Nancy's house, then lunch for my mom's birthday, then car- wash, lumber yard, and other errands.

Shirt from Nordstrom Brass Plum

Jeans from Hudson, also bought at Nordstrom during Anniversary Sale

Shoes Forever 21

Friday was Playgrounds & Lollipops and I purposely chose a casual and comfy outfit.  I ran all over on Friday, including gymnastics with Syd, preschool pick up & drop off and a playdate

Shirt from Old Navy

Jeans from Hudson (gift from next door neighbor Shelly)

Shoes from Converse

Saturday was painting and house project day and this is what I wore ALL DAY LONG!  I even wore this to Target and Joann's.  Either I have incredibly high self-esteem or I have no shame.  Take your pick.

Shirt from Target

Terry shorts from Juicy Couture

Flip flops (not shown) are always Haivaina

Sunday was Mother's Day, so why did I wear black?   Dunno know, I guess it looked comfy at the time.

Dress worn as top from Loehmann's

Jeans from Hudson

Shoes from a local boutique Tullemoss

Monday was the Mother's Tea at Taylor's preschool, so I wore a dress, but looking back I could have gotten much more dressed up.  Some moms were wearing satin and high heels!

Dress from local boutique Madison Bleu

Wrap from Forever 21

Flip Flops from Haivaina

Tuesday was office day at Art's work, plus just general running around.

Dress from Gap

Leggings from Gap

Shoes from Forever 21

So there you have it folks.  I do dress down most days, I do wear what is comfortable, I only do my hair a couple of times a week, and most days I don't wear but a smidge of makeup!  And I wear a lot of gray and black.  I need it to warm up so I can start wearing some brighter colors.
