a week of wardrobe. take three.

I'd like to start this blog-post off by saying that this week's outfit pictures are not my best work. However, although some of the pictures suck (yucky composition, strange faces, awkward angles), I'm excited to present to you the third edition of my Week of Wardrobe.

Let us begin.

.:.:.Sunday.:.:.

scarf: CHKD Thrift Store Newport News, VA. glasses: Urban Outfitters. shrug: Forever 21 clearance. little black dress: Old Navy. sandals: Target.



Pictures from today show two main things about Jecca. #1. I am a goob. #2. I love climbing trees (or anything really).
My best friend since birth, AB, was in town this weekend. We hung out on Saturday night, got coffee and reconnected with a dear old friend. It was amazing, but it left me a wee bit (to be read "extremely") tired on Sunday. Thank goodness for versatile wardrobe staples and a church that never starts on time.

brown polka dot dress: Goodwill Thrift Store Hampton, VA. pink ballerina flats: Wal-Mart.
I was boxing in the picture above... obviously. The old men that come into the credit union love this dress. I don't know what it is about it.

dress and shrug: Dress Barn. pink ballerina flats: Wal-Mart.

Good gravy. My hair is crunk in this picture, and I'm posing in front of the television as my father watched some sort of car show. I had just put on a fashion show for Ma and Nini, as is often the case when I get new clothes. (Ma took me out on Saturday for a bit of shopping in celebration of my full-time status at the credit union as of the beginning of March!! woot woot!)

.:.:.Wednesday.:.:.

pink cashmere sweater: Gap. black tank: Torrid. scarf: gift from Ma- Arcadia, Maine. jeans: Old Navy. grey/black ballerina flats: PayLess? (I can't really remember.)

This outfit successfully made the transition from work to youth group with a swap of the pants. It's super comfortable and I was super thankful.

.:.:.Thursday.:.:.

black button-down: hand-me-down/Old Navy. skirt: DAV Thrift Store Newport News, VA. pink ballerina flats: Wal-Mart.

Do I feel like Vanna White in this picture? Yes. Was that what I was going for? Of course. (I love Hosh's new ride.) Is this skirt slightly over-sized and possibly an awkward length? Yes. Was there a method to this skirt-choosing madness? Of course. (April 15th marked the beginning of the credit union's Summer Dress Code, and that means NO HOSE if your skirt or dress is mid-calf length or longer!!! Bring on the awkward skirt lengths!)

.:.:.Friday.:.:.

white shrug: Dress Barn. black tank: American Eagle. grey ruffle top: Gap. black pants: H&M. gold shoes: Shoe Carnival.

On Fridays, I usually wear credit union apparel so I don't have to pick out an outfit. We only get to wear company shirts on Fridays and some of them are actually quite relaxed and comfortable buttttt I felt like dressing up today annnndddddd I had a job interview at work. So this outfit seemed to be the obvious and most appropriate choice.

.:.:.Saturday.:.:.

tablecloth button-down: "Thrift Store" Newport News, VA. jeans: Wal-Mart. Vans shoes: Plato's Closet. black fake leather belt: H&M (it came on the pants from Friday).
Hosh's band, Westbound, was supposed to have a show on Saturday night in Norfolk, VA buttt it got canceled at the last minute. Ugh. Major disappointment all around. I did, however, get to go to the Spring Fling with Regs and Addie at our old church. It was nice to see some old friends there. Later we went out with a big part of the crew to Salsa's (food was sooo good) and then to Regs' house. Great night with great friends (but we all would've loved it just a bit more if the show had still been on).

AZ tee: "Dollar Store" in Tuba City, AZ. plaid pants: Old Navy (from T-Diddy [one of my most prized possessions]). Minnetonka: DSW. Muffler King hat: true vintage.

Just for kicks and giggles (and because this post is long overdue), I decided to include an extra day. This is my usual sewing-crafting outfit/socially acceptable pajamas. Yes, that is a horrifically scary parrot on the wall of our beach-themed kitchen behind me. I have learned to ignore it. And yes, I am doing dips on the kitchen counter. I do what I can.

Lerv lerv lerv to you, bloggy buds.
Thanks for reading and following. I'm working on some projects and posts that should be coming up soon!!!
