What I Wore {fifteen}

For my entire adult life, I have been a t-shirt, jeans and flip flops gal. Totally casual. Sure I could get all dressed up for work or a special occasion, but that was it. Now that I have no reason to get dressed up, I have gotten tired of my normal look. It has just become blah. I want to look put together without too much effort. That's not too much to ask, right?!

As I have noticed a shift in my clothing preferences, I have also put more thought into what I buy. First, I don't buy nearly as many clothes as I did years ago. In fact, I hardly ever go shopping. But when I do, I make sure to only buy things I love, that fit well and look cute with minimal effort. Oh, and these said clothes must NOT be dry clean only. Because, HELLO, toddlers.

A big thing that I have found to make myself feel better about what I am wearing are shoes. A cute pair of shoes on my feet can go a long way. Sure you will still find me in flip flops 50% of the time...but that other 50%...

Ian may not be a fan of shiny things, but I sure am! I found these lovely things on clearance at Target on Monday ($4.50!!!). This was my first time wearing them and I seriously had a smile all day because of them (that makes me sound like such a simple person!). They are currently adorning my feet and are still having a pretty dang positive effect on my mood.

shirt: Forever 21

shorts: Gap

shoes: Target

purse: MadeWell

And just a little PSA for all you non-shorts lovers out there. I am not a fan of shorts, but have truly embraced them this summer and these shorts from Gap were one of the reasons. They fit well and go with mostly everything. And it just so happens they are on clearance right now. Go buy yourself a pair and thank me later. 

P.S. I am NO fashion blogger, so you will have to excuse the posing.
