What I Wore Wednesday #5

Before I start this post, I am so excited to share that my ceiling fan makeover  was featured at Roadkill Rescue yesterday! Please check it out when you get a chance. It really just made my day!

Hey ya'll! It has been such a busy week around here. It's crazy how fast time flies. I haven't posted since last week. I had good intentions to have posts all week, but lots of stuff happened and well here we are now, a week later!

And to be honest, I've been so busy I didn't even take a recent picture for What I wore Wednesday (WIWW). I'm telling ya it's been crazy busy around here. I did take a picture of an outfit I wore awhile back so I'm gonna share that with ya'll today...

This is what I wore to a country concert me and my husband went to for our anniversary. We were so excited we got a weekend together while his parents watched the kids to celebrate our anniversary! It was seriously so much fun!

(Excuse the quality of the picture, I had bad hotel lighting and was using my phone camera!)

We were going to a country concert and I realized while picking out our stuff, we don't really have "country" looking clothes. I don't own cowgirl type boots or a cowgirl hat (I did see a lot of that at the concert tho!). I was thinking for next time it might be fun to get more "country-girl" looking clothes. But this is the closest thing in my clothes I could find for a "country" look. 

My blue dress and my shoes are both from Ross (love that store!). I've had that belt forever now and can't even remember where it's from. My silver bracelets and my earrings are from New York and Company. My necklace was a gift from my husband when we first got married. It's hard to see it but it's a heart with a little diamond "engagement-ring" on top of it. I'll have to share a better picture of it later!

I'm hoping to have a post about our little anniversary trip up on the blog this week, so stayed tuned for that too! 

And just curious do any of ya'll own "country, cowgirl-ish clothes"? Like cowgirl boots or hats? I see it a lot on Pinterest nowadays. I think it can be done so cute and fun with the right dress and accessories...

Scallop Art (using a circle punch)

Hey ya'll! So today I'm joining in on The Pinterest Challenge. If you've never heard of it before it is this fun challenge to create something you were inspired by on Pinterest. I love pinning things so to actually see them come to life is so much fun! Last year I made a flower mirror using spoons! 

This time I decided to tackle this cool thing I saw someone do with a circle punch. They punched out circles from colorful card stock paper and made it into art. Here is how mine turned out. 

This was my inspiration.

I'm loving scallop prints right now! I really wanted to incorporate it in my living room in some way. So when I saw this awesome art on Pinterest, I knew I had to take my spin on it. 

It was super super easy to make. 

All you need is:

Some colorful paper (I bought 6 sheets from a craft store)

A circle puncher (mine is 1 3/4")

A glue stick

Pencil

Ruler

I took the pencil and ruler and made lines 3/4" apart on a piece of card-stock paper. I did this so I could line up my circles easy. You want to make sure your circles overlap so you get the scallop effect. Then I just got at it with the glue. I did the colors in random order. 

Here is what it looked after it was glued and the sides were trimmed.

I really love the way it turned out! I borrowed the frame I used the other day for the "New Shoes" printable I made so I need to go get another frame for it. I love how easy this was and how it is so versatile  I used these colors because they fit my living room well, but you could go with so many different ideas for it.

I'm joining the link parties of Young House Love, Bower Power, Sparkle Meets Pop, and Red Bird Blue.

What I wore Wednesday #4

Hey ya'll! It's that time of week again. It's What I wore Wednesday (WIWW) again!

For this outfit: my top, skirt, and belt are all from New York and Company. All three of those pieces were on clearance but I can't remember the prices. I do know that the belt was only $5.99 tho, which I thought was a good deal. I'm in love with New York and Company right now. My shoes are from Ross. My bracelet I bought on vacation last year, and my necklace I've had forever. 

Belts are really starting to be my new obsession. I think they can dress up an outfit so cute! I love adding pops of color with accessories. I've been more on the lookout for bright and fun belts and jewelry to bring more interest to my clothes. 

Ok so that's what I wore! Thanks for stopping by!
