Outfit Ideas: Mint Green and Coral

April 29, 2013 By The Fashionable Housewife Leave a Comment

Mint green and coral are two very popular spring colors right now. So many different ways to wear this color combo and today I think I hit the nail right on the head with this one.

I layered a Neon Coral Sweater ($32/Gap) with a mint green leopard print blouse (similar here) underneath. I thought ankle zip jeans (similar here) would be appropriate with the sandal booties I couldn’t wait to break out!

I’ve been wearing this 2 Stone Custom Sterling Silver Infinity Birthstone Necklace from Eve’s Addiction ($42) almost non stop since I received it. I had it customized with the birthstones of my two kids. It’s simple, elegant, goes with every outfit and everything I wear, plus it’s a great reminder of my kids. (They are with me 24/7 – like I really need a reminder! lol) I love this piece though and I think it’s a great Mother’s Day Gift Idea.

I’m also loving this Two Tone Enamel Bangle in Electric Blue from Coldwater Creek ($30). It’s comfortable, easy to put on and off with the hinge design, very versatile because of the two tone colors and I get compliments on it all the time. They have a lot of great jewelry and accessories on sale right now. (Another Mother’s Day gift idea for ya!)

Outfit Ideas: Wearing Socks with Mary Jane Shoes

March 14, 2013 By The Fashionable Housewife 2 Comments

Today, I spent the whole day shopping at Target, checking out their Threshold Collection. I’m doing a Spring Makeover on my bedroom and will show you the before and after pics this coming Tuesday! I think you’re going to love it…

I’m not so good with the interior decorating so I downloaded a Windows 8 app called House & Home to help me figure out what I wanted to do in my bedroom. Then I went on Target.com to check out the Threshold Collection and find the items I wanted for my bedroom makeover. Once I picked out everything I wanted, I headed to my local Target and bought it all!

Since I knew this is what my day would entail, I dressed comfy.

(Surfing the House & Home app on my Acer Iconia W510)

I think this is one of those outfits where you either love it, or you hate it… I am loving the green and I got compliments on my outfit all day while I was out, but I’ll tell ya, in a picture it’s really obvious that my “greens” don’t match! I think it looks better in person…

What’s going to be the controversial item here is wearing socks with mary janes. I got a lot of “LIKES” on Instagram, including one from GAP!

How do you feel about the wearing socks with mary jane shoes? Love it or hate it, ladies?

Today’s Outfit: Sparrow Bird Print Top

November 28, 2012 By The Fashionable Housewife

My latest obsession? Wallis. Super cute stuff, great prices, on-trend selection, free shipping on all orders over $30. What more could you possibly ask for?

Wallis is like a cross between Forever 21 and Nordstrom. Cute styles and unique pieces like Forever 21, yet everything is “grown up” and cut for real women (not teenagers). I’m just in love…

After visiting the site for the first time, I fell in love with this grey bird print shirt. Perfect for a casual day. The collarless style is cut from the softest jersey and features 3/4 length sleeves. On sale right now for just $44.

Today’s Outfit: Lee Jeans & Energie Boat Shoes

September 15, 2012 By The Fashionable Housewife

My incredibly handsome (in my humble opinion) husband of 8 years is wearing a pair of Lee Vintage Slim Leg Jeans in Diablo (retail $58) with a vintage tee.

These jeans are from Lee’s new Fall 2012 collection. You can purchase these jeans at Lee.com and on Amazon.com.

Lee is gearing up for Lee National Denim Day – a movement that encourages people to go casual for a cause during the month of October. You can join the Denim Day movement any day of the month by wearing your jeans and donating $5 to the American Cancer Society to help those living with breast cancer.

Lee National Denim Day is proud to partner with the American Cancer Society for the first time this year! All donations will help the American Cancer Society support life-saving screenings in communities nationwide, bring hope and care to those traveling for cancer treatment and invest in groundbreaking cancer research.

It is estimated that 229,000 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year alone. We’re inviting you to help decrease this number by joining us in supporting Lee National Denim Day.

For more information on how you can get involved, visit http://www.denimday.com/
