WIWW 3/13/13

 

Another week of What I Wore Wednesday Is Here!!!  My desire for spring clothing has grown even more over the past week and unfortunately we just keep getting more snow and cold weather.  The weatherman keeps telling me that it’s going to be in the 40′s but his promises are broken daily as that has been pushed so far back it’s not even in the 10 day forecast…sigh.  Why is it that in the fall it can’t get cool fast enough and in the  spring it can’t get warm fast enough?

Oh well, at least I know this weather can’t last forever.  On with WIWW!

This outfit proves that march came in like a lion…I’m wearing three long sleeves here; a chevron shirt, a sweater and a blazer!

On Thursday I looked at my peacock earrings and thought, “I haven’t worn those for a long time.  I think they need to be worn.”  And from that thought this outfit was born!  I also wore gold, blue and teal makeup as shown in the bottom picture!

The two photos of the back of my hair lead me to a confession…I have come to love extensions!  My beautician has been trying to talk me into them for a couple of years and I finally bought them shortly before Christmas and use them anytime I’m leaving my house.  My hair is just so thin, especially for how long I’m currently wearing it and I needed something to add some volume to it.  The left picture is without the extensions and the right is after I’ve put the extensions in.  As you can see my actual hair is slightly longer than the extensions, which means I need longer extensions or a trim.  Probably a trim.  Truly I love how much thicker my hair is with these things!  K…confession over now go by some extensions, you’ll love them too!

 On Friday we had a touch of spring weather as the temps were in the low 40′s for the day!  I took advantage of the opportunity and wore my new orange blouse that has been sitting in my closet for over a month!  Love the peachy orange hue of this shirt and the blue polka dots!  You know me…I LOVE polka dots!

I also posted a couple photos of my hair this day because every time I wear it like this I get a lot of comments like this and people wondering how I do it.  Friday, was no different as a group of high school girls stopped me to ask how I do it.  Yeah, this 31 year old stil has it:-)  If you like it, be sure to like this post.  If I get 10 likes on this post I’ll do a little tutorial for you all next week!  Like away!!!

My need for bright colored clothes made it difficult to ignore wearing this new cardi sweater that’s been sitting in my closet for a few weeks.  I thought of wearing heels but since I had to go out in the elements and had a day of shopping ahead of me I opted for my boots with the orange zipper to go with the orange in my cardi.

Yesterday, brought on more snow and cold.  I know boo-hoo, poor little Wisconsin girl.  In all honesty I really don’t mind it that much.  I prefer cold to heat, so I’ll take it while it lasts.  But I do love spring and fall temps best so that is why I’m doing a lot of spring time whining.  Bear with me for the next few weeks, please:-)

I started a  Pinterest board for Life Exquisite so be sure to follow me there.  I will be using it to post my recipes, home decor, birthday parties, favorite outfits, etc.  Basically my favorites from LE will be featured there.  Right now LE’s Pinterest page is pretty blank, although I did pin some things so that it wouldn’t be empty when I posted it.  I do plan on having more than just LE’s things there, like DIY projects I’d like to make someday, recipes or cute outfits I wish I had, but I don’t have that up yet.  Sorry.

I also thought it might be fun to have you, my readers, vote on what your favorite outfit is from each WIWW post.  And the winner will get pinned to my Exquisite Outfits board!

That means you can start voting today and the rest of this week.  Next week I’ll pin what you voted as your favorite!  So comment away and enjoy peaking at Life Exquisite’s Pinterest board!
