Striped Shirt, Two Ways

The last few days had me wearing a whole lot of old clothes. Worn khaki shorts with old t-shirts and speckles of paint over my decade old but trusty J.Crew flip flops. What does all that mean? I was immersed in projects around the house. We have been in our home ten years now. When we moved in we had no kids. We took weeks to paint each room and move ourselves into the house. Three kids, one dog and us and it is a house that is well-lived in and in need of some updates.

It’s all in good fun, I adore the new kitchen sink and granite countertops. I’m going to be tackling window treatments later this week and our front door has a fresh coat of paint. All work overseen or done by me and that feels pretty good. It doesn’t bode well for Whatcha Wearing Wednesday though. I decided to give myself some TLC and dug this cute but older top out of my closet.

A little Q&A with Johanna-
1.  Why did you start your blog?
I really needed a creative outlet and missed writing. It came at the perfect moment in my life and I’ve gotten so much fulfillment out of it not to mention wonderful friends.
2.  What current trend are you in love with right now?
I finally jumped on the crop top bandwagon. Who knew you didn’t have to expose your belly?
3.  Do you have a go-to look?  If so, what is it?
That’s easy. You can always find me in destroyed denim, a cute top and heels. Must.Have.Heels. Being 5’2…I rarely wear flats unless I am chasing my kids!

    Good morning beautiful! I know how you feel about giving yourself a bit of TLC after working around the house. I especially like how you took out an older piece and vamped it up! I’m all about shopping my closet 🙂
