Kim's Sunday Outfit 7 August 2011

Story behind the shirt: I bought it white from Target a few years ago. I've gotten sick of all the white in my closet, so I decided to dye it. It wasn't supposed to be THIS orange- it's like a freakin' pumpkin! I was hoping it would have come out more of a burnt orange, but no such luck.

Once the dye job was over, I noticed the neckline was coming undone. It's kind of a sweater material, so it was starting to unravel! I bought orange thread to try and fix it and while it held together, it didn't look so nice. I was about to toss it when I was going through my fabric scraps and came across this long strip of fabric (I don't know my fabrics, how sad, and strange, is that?!) that's kinda silky and flowy... : ) I draped and sewed it down and was pretty dang proud of myself.

Kim's Sunday Outfit 31 July 2011

So I'm not allowed to leave comments on the blog, thus I will begin with: Katie, gorgeous hair. Love the curls. And those shoes! Why are all your shoes so amazing?! And where the heck is everyone else's fabulous-ness?

There's a story behind the hat: I really was planning on wearing it to church that Sunday, had picked out my outfit the night before (which I'd also picked on another occasion and chickened out) and was all psyched about walking into church with a hat on. So then I get dressed and I'm like, nope, not gonna do it. I blow dry and begin to straighten my hair when my straightener snaps and breaks. I was only halfway done, so the top of my head was NOT looking very pretty- kinda puffy. I had no choice- the hat was now a necessity.

SO SO glad I wore it. I think I'll buy more hats : )

Hat: Soprattutto... (it's Italian) purchased more than 5 years ago at Ross, TJMaxx or Marshalls. Can't remember which. It's 100% vegetal fibre. Weird.

Kim's Sunday Outfit 24 July 2011

So, I've tried to leave comments, and the blog hates me and won't let me do it. Not sure if I can figure out those kinks or not. Heather reminded me today that I needed to post pictures, so here you are:

I've decided that I'm going to include the info about brand/where I got the pieces in my outfit (if I can remember) just for the fun of it. If I can't find anything to wear, I pull out an "oldie but goodie" detailed description!

Necklace: Value Village, Marysville

Blouse: George, Walmart

Skirt: Banana Republic, Buffalo Exchange, Portland

Shall we get started?

I've never blogged before so, you experts out there will have to help make this fabulous! Figured we've talked about this enough and I'm tired of posting my photos to facebook... it just gets weird pretty quickly.
