Day two of taking pictures in the early morn. It's actually not that early. But it's the earliest I've been up since high school...especially since I had to do early morning seminary.
How do you like my wonderfully colorful outfit today? I think this is the most color I've worn in my whole life...besides that one time I was a pink Power Ranger. That was awesome.
Here's a close up of my necklace. Just to reiterate I bought this necklace (on final sale) and another cheap-o necklace and used the latter metal chain for this pink necklace. That didn't make sense. Basically, I used two necklaces to make this one...and, basically, I'm horrible at explaining things...and telling jokes. Just ask Chase. I'm always the only one laughing.
Don't forget to enter the giveaway to win one out of three scarves!! That's right - three winners. If all three winners want the same scarf, you'll have to fight to the death. Or pay me in cookies. Whichever's easier. We have to change that to celery sticks. I just ate too many brownies for dinner.
Wearing Old Navy cardigan ($18), reworked JCPenney necklace (free with gift card), J.Crew Outlet shirt (gift from my mom), Shade Clothing skirt ($10), and Seychelles mary-janes ($15).
Oh, i just fell in love with your skirt!

ReplyDeletei am so bad at telling jokes too. i always, but ALWAYS forget the endings and keep inventing them so, obviously, the joke becomes such a mess. and it is sooo frustrating, as i always laugh by myself, like you, and can't really tell the joke right so others would laugh with me :D
ReplyDeletei love love love this outfit. i think i really like color sometimes and the necklaces is a perfect touch! and you almost have 2000 followers. ahh exciting!!

ReplyDeleteƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
The light is so beautiful at that time. I absolutely lover your necklace it goes with so much!
ReplyDeleteThis green cardigan really works on you! I've been searching for a green cardigan that I love for years. And I love mixing the green with the pink. It really pops and yet the outfit still has great fall hues. LOVE IT!

ReplyDeleteclothes are cute
You look fab in saturated colors like this, and I love the boldness with which you paired them. Totally inspirational.
ReplyDeleteThe skirt is beautiful! Totally autumn look!
ReplyDeleteI love the outfit! and even if the colors are different they look great!.. I really like the cardigan tucked in. Im horrible at giving directions.. I think a lot of people are... lol.. there should be a club for that..
ReplyDeleteCute skirt, and I love the Seychelles.

ReplyDeleteThis post is the one that just sent me over the edge and I am now officially in love with you haha no but really, this outfit is really awesome. I love the necklace (even if I have no idea how it came to be) and I love how classic yet totally modern this look is. You look cute, fun, chic and totally darling.
ReplyDeleteThe brownies for dinner paragraph...the whole thing. Love.
You look so pretty in colors! Love your necklace too :)
ReplyDeleteOh those shoes make me melt! Not to mention that skirt looks amazing on you!
ReplyDeletei love how unexpected that necklace is : ) the pink looks so good with the green and the gold pearls accent the yellow flowers. im inspired!

ReplyDeleteI love a lot of color! So cute :)
ReplyDeleteyou're so cute Elaine! I love this color palette on you, it goes with your hair and skin tone great, and they're great fall colors. F21 had a very similar necklace except jade colored, but i love the pink one! and i'm always the only one laughing at my jokes as well :D
ReplyDeleteLove the necklace! That is awesome that it is a DIY. I thought it was from Anthro.
ReplyDeleteI love those shoes so much! And what a deal. The colors of the outfit are really fun.

Gosh, you are just too cute. I love that you ate brownies for dinner. This outfit is EXCELLENT. That skirt is so extremely enviable. Adore it. And the necklace is wow. Good work!
ReplyDeleteYou are lovely, and fashionable, and delightful fun. Your blog continues to be one of the highlights of my day.

I love your outfit and your blog!

Super cute outfit! I love all of the colors and I LOVE that skirt!!!
ReplyDeleteThat skirt is so pretty- I really like how you styled it. The different colors worked well together. It's really creative how you reworked the necklace- I actually never even thought of doing that. But I have to say, JC Penny's is the best place for a treasure hunt- I always find great things at great prices there.

You're so pretty that it's making me jealousss haha! <3 Awe. I love your outfit. I can't make the tucking in the cardigan thing... but yeah, lovely colours, you actually make me LIKE the colour green!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the color combinations! Such a fun outfit - and I love your reworked necklace. I laughed out loud at your explanation of you made it.
ReplyDeleteLove the pink with green~ so fresh. you look adorable~ :)
ReplyDeletevanilla with sprinkles
Loving the green and the skirt. Your retro shoes are the perfect finishing touch.
ReplyDeleteWhat absolutely gorgeous colours you've picked out today. Love the cardi and the skirt pattern is just beautiful.
ReplyDeletethe skirt and the necklace are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing you in so much color and the "early morning" lighting in these photos is breathtaking. Totally worth getting up for it!

I really like the fally floral skirt & that you paired it with a bright colored blouse and necklace, nice change from the monotonous dark colors usually worn at work.
ReplyDeleteFauxFur, not Friendships
I love the earth-tone-combo outfit!!! looks fantastic! and you look great for being early, the pics I take in the morning have stopped 'cos I look like a zombie hahaha
ReplyDeleteYou are nearly at 2000 followers!!! That is incredible. You are easily one of my favorites. I'm always looking for modest clothing ideas and you've got some great style. The colors of your outfit are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat skirt, that skirt! I tried so hard to buy that skirt when it went on sale! My size was sold out everywhere! Now, when I see it on someone, I shed a little tear and maybe even get a little jealous :)!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Don't even get me started on early morning seminary! I'm from MT and getting up at the crack of dawn when it was 60 degrees below zero was pure hell!
Gorgeous shot! I'm loving the shoes. Have a glorious day, Kellie xx
ReplyDeleteI really like it! And it doesn't seem too colorful either
ReplyDeleteI think that's my new favorite necklace! I need it NOW!!!!!
ReplyDeletevery cute :) I adore that hallway you're in!
ReplyDeleteThat's a perfectly coloured outfit. I really love teh print on the skirt. And love the shoes.
ReplyDeleteI think enough has already been said about the skirt and how pretty you look in it. i just want to add that not many people realize that it's not just the clothes that are important. What's more important is knowing which ones are right for you. You have a knack for getting your looks right.
ReplyDeleteThe outfit is still subdued, definitely not blinding. I like it. That skirt is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe necklace is gorgeous! I didn´t know yellow, green and pink would blend in wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteThe colors looks good! You put them together perfectly. :D Also, that necklace is freakin' awesome even if I don't quite understand how you made it. Hah.
ReplyDeleteYour skirt is very pretty. I like the morning light coming through the window.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your devotion to being fashionable and modest. I am LDS too and have four young granddaughters who are striving to look nice and be modest. I will have to introduce them to your blog.
very cute & autumnal
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore you and your adorably cute blog, but not being able to see your full post in Google Reader makes me want to die a little. sorry, big blog party foul. :(
ReplyDeleteWow! This is a lot of color for you, but you are owning this look! The skirt looks lovely with that green cardi!
ReplyDeleteI love the green cardigan! I don't think I've ever seen anyone tuck in a cardigan! it looks very chic and I love this outfit!
ReplyDeleteThe pattern of your skirt looks like autumn leaves - together with the green cardigan it's a great combination.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with trying to become more of a morning person... I'm intolerable in the early morning myself, but I know the problem of coming home when it's already dark.
I love that skirt and all the different ways you've styled it!
ReplyDeleteaw love this outfit and all the bright colors! that pink necklace is so cute too! haha i can totally picture you as a power ranger! wasn't there an asian one? i used to love that show...but then it started getting a little too cheesy...or maybe i just got too old to be watching it :P
ReplyDeletethanks for all your comments on my blog lately! :)
hey you should show us some pics of your apartment, from what i can see it looks really nice...plus i'm just really nosy about people's houses :)

I think this if my favorite outfit so far. That necklace is nuts! (In a good way) and the color combination is unexpected, but still makes sense.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore your blog! Thank you for stopping by mine.
ReplyDeleteTatom
love this look!! the floral skirt looks flowy and goes so well with your mary-janes!
ReplyDeleteThis is color done right - in my head it's better than the Pink Power Ranger look.
ReplyDeletelove your header and outfit! x
ReplyDeleteYou may not wear a lot of color very often, but I think you should start! This is adorable.
ReplyDeleteso cute! i love the pink and green together
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful! I love the colors in this outfit. There may be a lot of color, but it's also toned down fall color so I think it works perfectly for right now. Plus, I love your playful poses down the hallway!
ReplyDeleteLorispeak
I love that you have that skirt, because I have that skirt and I've gotten so many cute ways to wear it from you! (Pairing it with a striped shirt has become like my favorite church outfit)
ReplyDeleteThat necklace is gorgeousssss!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm really bad at telling jokes too. :S
Love the colors of your outfit!
ReplyDeleteYou look wonderful. I love color on you! I think I want to tuck my cardigans in now.
