Over Christmas break 2013, my buddy Maricel @ My Closet Catalogue, a high school English teacher, took on a Stay At Home Mom challenge. What she came up with was a direct reflection of how I dress: a simple, basic, comfy outfit at home / change out a piece and add accessories for going out. For example:


At home: blush tank (with fun brass studs), distressed denim shorts, and flip-flops. What could be more comfortable during the summer (it hit 90 over the weekend ) than a tank / shorts / flip-flops combo?
On the Go: I added a tortoiseshell bracelet, switched out the flip-flops for nude sandals, and did a partial tuck on the shirt to emphasize my waist. I look casual but put together.
It’s so crazy what a simple tuck can do for an outfit! Sometimes I challenge myself while people watching to figure out how I could take a random person’s outfit up a notch (does this make me creepy??) but my most used response is to tuck in the shirt! Thanks for linking-up with Carrie, Casey and me 🙂

Haha, I think it’s only creepy if you randomly start tucking people’s shirts in. 😜
I’m going to be participating in Create28 too. There are a few prompts that I’m going to have to spin, but it should be fun!
