What I Wore Wednesday- One Woman Wolf Pack

 You can hardly see it, but I'm in LOVE with my nail polish I got in my November Birchbox- it's stunning. I usually don't go for blue, but this is the prettiest blue polish I've ever laid eyes on. It's called Noel from the Holiday 2011 collection by Zoya.

This is my first ever what I wore post including jeans! I'm quite nervous about it- I sometimes feel as though outfits with jeans are simply too casual to post on the blog, but this is often the type of outfit that I wear. I feel comfortable, casual and cool, and that's my typical style. What do you think about jean posts on blogs? Are they ok or just too casual?

 I just bought this shirt from Urban a couple days ago... and I've been wearing it ever since. It's so soft and comfortable. The fabric is that perfect vintage wash, nice and thin and soft. It feels like my favorite tees that I've worn a million times.

I am totally embracing messy hair today.

What I Wore Wednesday- Dirty 80's

When hubs and I went outside to photograph this outfit, he told me I looked like a dirty 80's girl. Was I wrong to take that as a compliment? This outfit is a little laid back, a little dressed up, a little girly and a little grungy. I feel very "me" in it, and very comfortable. I also love this shirt and think of it fondly as the best 5 dollars I've maybe ever spent.

What I Wore Wednesday- Birthday Dress!

My mommy sent this lovely dress to me for my birthday this year, isn't it pretty? She chose perfectly, and it fits like a dream. She has pretty good taste, I think! 

Lucas always ends up taking way more pictures of my face than my outfit. I get frustrated with him sometimes, but actually, it's kind of cute. 

This opal necklace used to belong to my grandmother- I love it so much. Opal is my birthstone as well, so it's doubly as special to me.

What I Wore Wednesday- Renaissance Festival

For my birthday, Lucas surprised me by taking me to one of my very favorite places- the Renaissance Festival! I used to work as a garland girl at the Colorado Renaissance Festival for my summer job, and the festival held my heart since I was a little girl. The smells of turkey legs and dirt and beer- elephants and roasted sugared almonds- it all transports me back home. I didn't even realize that we had a fair nearby this time of year, so it was a wonderful surprise to find out where we were going! I got all dressed up in my garb I still had from my job at the faire- I love dressing up in Medieval costume!

What I Wore Wednesday- Ruffles and Roly Poly

Look at this cute little guy- I grew up calling this bug a roly poly, but my husband insists they are "pill bugs". What do you call them?

What I Wore Wednesday- Jeremiah Janeson

I feel like a bit of a wild woman in this outfit- like I should be out in the wilderness, eating bugs and killing bears with my own two hands. Like a female Chuck Norris/Jeramiah Johnson hybrid. Which reminds me, you all should go watch these two movies as soon as convenient: 

1. Jeremiah Johnson

2. Forest Warrior

Which both vaguely inspired my outfit for today. Both are amazing in totally different ways, and you should not regret watching either.

My dress is terribly wrinkled, and obviously needs to be ironed. Or something. But what kind of wild woman has the time for that, am I right? 

These boots are definitely one of my favorite possessions. My husband bought them for me when we were first dating- I'd always wanted a pair but was never able to afford them, and he surprised me by taking me to the shop and having me design my own pair. They are custom fit for me, and I chose the leathers, soles, trim style and buttons. The left side has tree of life buttons all the way up the side, with a Libra button for the top, and the right side has the opposite. I designed them that way to kind of represent the delicate balance of life and earth. Cheesy? Maybe a little. But I get that way sometimes.

Look at this crazy dude we found outside while we were taking photos! I don't imagine this picture gives real perspective, but this guy was HUGE! I'd never seen a caterpillar this large in my life. I told Lucas it was like Lion King had come to life- it totally looks like the grubs Timon and Pumba eat to me! I told him he should eat it, but he told me I was gross. Probably a good call- do you see that stinger on his butt? Yikes!

What I Wore Wednesday- Helena Dress

Ahh, the first murmurings of fall... leaves changing color, a cool breeze in the air, the smell of a wood fire drifting from the chimney. No, we have none of that happening in sunny Southern California and it makes LJ a very sad panda. It still remains in the sultry 90's most days where I live, but I'm tired of shorts and tee shirt weather, and I decided I wasn't having any of it anymore. Perhaps with some serious wishful thinking, I can hint to the universe that it is time to change her ways again. 

Hasn't worked yet. And tights are a bad idea in 90 + degree weather. 

And.... I'm spinning! This is definitely a twirling dress. I can't help but spin around in circles whenever I put it on.
