Copy Cat Closet – Colored Tights

Linking up over @ MaNouvelleMode & The Grant Life once again for Copy Cat Closet! 

The challenge this week was “colored tights”. 

I am BORING and the choices I had on hand are black and brown.  Yeah, I know I’m a wild woman.  I chose brown because I’m pretty sure black doesn't count as a real color when it comes to tights right?  I mean everyone has black tights!  Unless they have spiderwebs on them or they are fishnets they probably don’t count.

Anyway…here’s what I put together!

Earrings – gift

Necklace – gift

Bracelet – I won from a giveaway!  Woot!

Jean Jacket – super old

Tank - ???

Dress – Target

Tights – Kohls

Boots – Nordstrom Rack

1st order of business today is for you to head on over to Our Crazy Beautiful where I'm guest posting about something VERY VERY close to my heart!  Oh and there JUST might BE a GIVEAWAY!!!!!


I am in LOVE with the Copy Cat Closet feature @ Ma Nouvelle Mode & The Grant Life.  Natalia and Christie & Kelley just happen to be friends of mine, but I promise you I’m not just partial because it’s them.  

THIS REALLY IS FANTASTIC! 

Each week Natalia from Ma Nouvelle Mode shares a look for us to copy with our OWN twist.  This is all about finding new ways to wear things and create looks you might not have otherwise tried.  You absolutely DO NOT have to go buy anything for this exercise.  In fact, this broke girl (hello 4 kids and a single income) ONLY shops her closet!  Come back on Thursday for this week’s big reveal!  There is also a link-up!  Let me know if you are interested in participating too and I’ll send you all the details straight from Natalia!

Check out LAST weeks look below:

Check out MY version:

It was fun and I was actually happy with the way my version turned out.  HELLO fun new date night look! 

THIS week it’s all about dresses with boots!

I’m trying to decide what look I will choose for Thursdays post from MY closet but in the meantime I’ll leave you a few tidbits of inspiration I found while doing some “research” on Pinterest.

What I Wore Wednesday – Hey THIS is fun!

I remember early on in high school I dressed up ALL the time.  Always wore skirts and really cared about how I looked.  Then I sorta got away from that.  

Then later on I was the same.  Early 20s always tryin to look cute…then I got lazy.  Vicious cycle! 

You know what? 

The more I tried the better I felt!  What I realized is that it isn’t about looking a certain way.  It is about having confidence and honestly being a happier person!  I find when I take the time to care about how I look I actually am a NICER person.  For me how feel I look does really have a positive effect on my day…not only how I feel about myself but ALSO how I treat others, the patience I have, the more thoroughly I complete tasks even.  

Strange huh?

Here’s what I wore this weekend for our date night!

Earrings:  Paparazzi Accessories

Dress:  Target

Shrug:  Target

Bracelet: gift

Purse: gift

Boots: Nordstrom Rack
