Seven Days In A Dress Challenge

This week Jenna was hosting a "Seven Days In A Dress (or Skirt)" challenge, and I decided to join in. I usually wear dresses or skirts, simply because it's hard to find jeans anymore that aren't either too low or too tight - unacceptable. So I decided I'd join in, and maybe encourage someone along the way, who thinks that skirts can't be worn without looking sloppy or terribly weird. Now, I'll admit right off that I haven't got the greatest sense of fashion, but anyway... ;D

Seems hard to believe the week's over already! I don't have alot of time to spend on the computer just 'for fun', so I decided to just post the whole week at once instead of trying to get on each day.

Ok, here are the week's outfits:

Resurection Sunday. I'd sort of hoped to have a new outfit, if not store-bought, then home-made. Mom was working on a top to go with a skirt I'd made last year, but with everything else going on, it didn't happen, and that's OK.

Deep sky-blue eyelet top: Belk's. About $8 I think. Mom bought it for me to wear to a wedding we went to a couple of years ago.

Cream eyelet skirt: I made it as part of my graduation outfit. Dad and Mom paid for the fabric from Wal*Mart for $4.

Cream sequine sandals: Shoe Station. Also for graduation, but Mom bought them for me, and I think she paid about $12 or $15.

I wore my hair just down plain.




Mint blue snap-up shirt: 50 cents at a yard sale. Love yard sales!

Straight denim skirt: $4 I think, from the consignment shop in town. Mom got it for me, and I wear this skirt All. The. Time!

Sequine Yellow-Box flip-flops: A gift from my grandmother.

Hair: Ponytail.

In all honesty, I only wore this outfit the last part of the day. I had some work I was doing that I had to have some grubbier clothes on for earlier.

Mint blue and slate blue plaid snap-up Western-style shirt: About $1 I think, from Dirt Cheap. Great place for people with lots of patience and an eye for a bargain!

Tiered denim drawstring skirt: Gift from a friend. This is my only tiered skirt, but I absolutely love it. If I had my way, whenever I wore a skirt, it would be this style! This one was from Wal*Mart, but I have a pattern that a friend gave me that I want to try out this Summer. Mom is using it to make one for Trissy right now though :) !

Navy Old-Navy flip-flops: Gift from Mom. She got them at the end of the season for $2, and they are so practical - I wear them all the time in the summer 'cause (in case you haven't noticed yet) I LOVE denim, so they always go with what I'm wearing. :)

Hair: Ponytail.





Tan short-sleeved knit top: Borrowed from Trissy ;) I love that we wear the same size in so many things! You can't really see it in the picture.

Brown tunic-style top with gold beading and embroidery: No more than 60 cents at the consignment store in town. I really like this style of top! Brown really is not my color (I love it but it doesn't look good on me), but I wear it anyway ;) The top actually is a little big - I need to take in the sides some when I get time.

Monday's denim skirt.

Shoes: Shoes? On a day like this?! You've got to be kidding me!
I have on my Old-Navy flip-flops in the picture 'cause it was cold and dewy in the morning, but I went barefoot the rest of the day!

Hair: Ponytail. I love ponytails!





Bright turquoise sleeveless top: Belk's between $3 and $5. Can't really see it. Sorry about all these poor-quality pictures. I'm borrowing a camera, and it doesn't always produce what I hoped for.

Monday's top.

And Monday's skirt. Told you I wear it all the time ;) !

Shoes: What Trissy calls my "Susan Shoes" :) She says they look like some Susan wears on "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe". Anyway, Mom got them for me ages and ages ago, and I recently 'rediscovered' them. They're real leather, so they've stayed nice, and I wear them to school in the winter. It was colder Thursday so I wore them.

Hair: Ponytail. Again. Yes, I wear ponytails all the time. I wear my hair down on Sundays usually, but I'm not a hair-do person, and I wear ponytails because they're fast, simple, and if they come undone, they can be fixed back without a lot of fuss. I love braids too, but my hair is not long enough right now to make a decent braid. When it was long, I wore a braid all the time. *Sigh* Hope it doesn't take too long for it to grow out again!

Ok, this outfit really looked better than it does in the picture. But I didn't have much time, and just took it fast, and it had to do. So, sorry.

Black T-shirt: Michael's at the end of the season for less than $1.

Green beaded/embroidered cotton jumper: from Dad and Mom, for my birthday several years ago. I know it's from Wal*Mart, but I don't know what it cost.

Black leather closed-in shoes and black knee-socks. Ok, I know, strange, but my feet were cold, and at least they matched the shirt. :)

The shoes are some of my "old faithfuls" that I've had for years, but they're leather, and even though they're so old, they still work for just around the house. They came from either Target or K-Mart.

Hair: Ponytail.

Plaid button-up shirt: 50 cents at a cousin's yard sale.

Full denim skirt: Gift for my birthday a couple of years ago.

Funny navy-and-lavender-sandal-Crocs-that-are-very-comfortable-once-you-learn-to-walk-in-them-so-they-don't-tip-you-over-and-pour-you-out: Brand new hand-me-downs from a cousin who they didn't fit. Yay! The heels are built up just a little, so they 'tip' if you're not careful :) .

I decided to braid my hair today, even though it didn't make more than about 9 inches, simply because I knew you were all tired of reading Hair: Ponytail! LOL

Ok, well, that was the week in skirts. Let me know what you think
I'm going to run 'cause I've still got quite a bit of homework due Monday, and I don't work on school on Sundays, so I need to get busy!

Keep Looking Up!
