Things I Never Consider::a series

 I'll share a secret with you. My friends might be surprised, but I don't put a lot of thought into what I am going to wear. I try to jazz up the basics, but creativity is not a strong characteristic of mine. With that in mind, here are a few more things I forget looks nice or never considered.

Wearing blue--- I just don't own much blue. Part of the problem is I never see cute blue shoes which often steers me away from blue. (pic from Fashion Bug mailer)




Eternity scarf: I have a few.  I even made one, but often forget to incorporate them in my wardrobe. (pic from Lane Bryant mailer from a year ago.)

Grey, black and burgundy.  I forget how good these colors look together until I see them together again.  (pic from Lane Bryant mailer from a year ago.)


Skirts with hems that are not straight.  I have a few of these, but often don't wear them because I don't quite know how to pair shirts/jackets/sweaters with them.  Any suggestions?  (Pic from Catherines.com)

The following sets are created by diamondlife in Polyvore

Cremes and neutrals.  Honestly, this never crosses my mind when I am getting dressed.  LOVE this set.

I have a pair of snake skin shoes that I have only worn once.  When I see these two sets I remember I'm wasting great opportunities.

Forgotten Treasure

You ever forget about a place, and got so excited when something sparks a memory? This happened to me yesterday. I took a moment to blow off some BMV frustration and stopped by the Cato Fashion store next door to it. It was a good decision. There were some cool items there. Granted Cato may not carry top of the line items, but it supports one of my rules to never spend a lot of money on trendy items. Only on classic pieces.

Here's some items from the website I saw there.

Love this purse



The dress AND the shoes were in the local Cato.

Things I never consider series

I want to start a new series. I much prefer classic to trendy, but there
are some things I can do that keeps the classic trendy. I will share those
ideas with this series.

Things I never consider:

Using colors with nothing tying them together. I would normally have an
urge to have something that ties the two together. I like this though.

Love this. Putting it in the lookbook.

Buy now or pay later


Greetings moms.Just a heads up the entire front of the K Mart store where I am has boys
and girl summer clothes for $1.99. In the midst of shorts and halter tops
are TONS of boy short sleeve shirts. These work now and later especially
for my little one who stays hot all year. (Btw the shoes are around $2
also)
