What I've Learned...

Until recently most people who know me or who have ever known me would never start a sentence about me with "She has great style..." or "She always looks put together..." In fact those statements would probably have been coming out of peoples mouths in sarcasm or while laughing, if they were to describe me. That is until recently.  Not that I am a "fashionista" or anything close to that, but I have come to enjoy some fashion blogs and shopping (thanks of course to Kimmy).  I can finally understand the relationship between women and their clothes, maybe because I have an income I finally understand this...lol.  The story begins a month ago when my friends decided to either put me on What Not To Wear or take me to the outlets.  Seeing as we had no idea how to get me on TV, we went to the outlets and the mall. Anyways it was tons of fun and Mike didn't get upset at the whole new closet I purchased (yes the old clothes were that bad that the husband said good job shopping).

Anyways you might ask yourself why the heck is she posting this weird thing... well I am going to start posting some fashion outfits that I have tried and either failed miserably or succeeded nicely.  But seeing as I work a ton and don't always have something to post I figure this will be a good filler.  So the "fashion show" starts in the fashion capital of the world ... New York! Now these outfits are for the beginner (the women who are trying to convert from daily scrubs to nice outfits...please follow closely ;0)

First you have to understand... clothes don't completely make sense to me yet (especially scarfs). Sometimes it requires an expert to teach you how to place a scarf around your neck. As you can tell Mike is very focused cause he knows that he may have this responsibility once we get back to California.

Here is a blurry view of the outfit... Jason, the photographer of the day, sometimes liked to focus on Mike a little more than the actual subjects of the photo shoot.

Here is the good close-up... yes with the peacoat (but hey its Boston and that's how they roll)

So where did all this come from-

Boots- birthday gift from Debbi

Leggings- Gabby's closet (yes they were to small since the height difference is 1.5 feet)

Skirt- Forever 21

Jacket- my closet (don't remember who/where from

This is a typical (semi-dressy) outfit I would have chosen in Boston 3 months ago (had it been warmer). See the outfits have come a long way!!
