Welcome to the first ever post for Operation: Get Out of Yoga Pants!
Let me just give you a brief rundown of what this is all about.
I am a 30 year old SAHM who used to dress fashionably, back in the day, before I had a kid. I still love fashion and love to shop, but I am no longer certain what style I am or where I fit in style-wise any longer. These posts are to get me out of my yoga pant/t-shirt rut, facing my closet, and finding my style (and myself) again.
Alright! Let's get to it!
This week's outfit inspiration was this:
 |
| source My two favorite things about this outfit are: 1. It is casual, but still looks put together. 2. There is a mustard yellow cardigan to wear. Mustard yellow cardigans are awesome! They are really hot this year for fall and can be dressed up or down. I had been searching for months for the perfect mustard yellow cardigan to wear this fall and I finally found it about a month ago. (I'll tell you where in just a second!) I chose to re-create the above outfit when we went to the pumpkin farm the other day. Pumpkin Farm Style  I will never again take pictures in front of this door. Ugh! We have waaaay too much wood going on here and my pic is dark. Sorry, guys. Better picture next time-I promise! I was lucky I even got this picture taken. Ha! I changed it up quite a bit, but the concept is still there: casual, yet put together. Cardigan: Target (exact) Tee: Kohl's (exact) Jeggings: Kohl's (similar) Boots: Urbanog.com (similar) In hindsight, I probably should have added more accessories (i.e. a scarf) to this outfit. I have a leopard print one that would have been fun! Also, I realized that I need to start getting ready a little bit earlier than normal so I am not rushing the process. Lastly, I need a full length mirror. I'm tired of telling myself I don't need one. I do. Period. End of discussion with myself. And this concludes the first post in the Operation: Get Out Of Yoga Pants series. Come back next week to see more! Have a great day everyone!  |
Mustard is not my color, but it's definitely yours! Love it!
ReplyDeleteAw thanks Liz! I actually wasn't sure how well the mustard color would look on me, but I gave it a shot! hanks for stopping by! :)
DeleteThis is a GREAT series idea! I need to do this with some of my style pics from Pinterest! I LOVE that cardigan, but you are right a scarf would have make the look amazing, I would have gone for a black one, or maybe a brown to match the boots.
ReplyDeleteHey Angel! Thanks for stopping by! Yes, totally a scarf! I was kind of rushed this day with a 2 year old running through the house, screaming, "Mommyyyy goooo nooooowwww!!" LOL! She was just as excited about the pumpkin farm as I was!
DeleteLove this!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda! :)
DeleteAwesome Idea Sara, Love the outfit and the mustard yellow is your color. I think it goes well with your hair. I am definitely looking forward to your next post to see how you Get out of those Yoga Pants!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kimberly! I am so glad it looks good on me-I love yellow! I'm glad you stopped by! Have a great weekend!
DeleteI absolutely LOVE the concept of this blog series! I too have been in a fashion rut for years. I went through a period when I was in beauty school where we had to wear all black as our uniform, and I've never transitioned out of that. I also go for just what is comfy and easy now...I don't even know WHAT my style is or what I like. I'll definitely be checking in on this one again & maybe doing a little myself! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat you said is exactly why I started this series! I don't know where I fit in anymore stylistically, but darn it, I want to find out! I want to empower and inspire other ladies to do the same! I am so glad you stopped by! Thank you so much! Have a great weekend!
DeleteI wish I could wear mustard, but it makes me look green! LOL. Looks great on you though! Love the idea of this series! You will definitely have fun with it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristin! I'm glad you stopped by! Have a great weekend!
DeleteCute outfit! I love it and you look great!
ReplyDeleteThanks TaMara! I'm so glad you stopped by! Have a great weekend! :)
DeleteI came back to say that you look great, btw. I love the sweater! I was just at Target yesterday...wish I would have known cuz I want one of those cardigans.
ReplyDeleteThank you! :) Target has them in all kinds of colors and they are SUPER soft! I am really thinking about getting one in another color. ......I have a cardigan obsession.....Lol!
DeleteYou are so cute, and that is such a great outfit! I love the cardigan, just saw above that it's from Target, I have like 3 from last years collection but need more!
ReplyDeleteThank you Angie! I love them too! I am definitely going to be ordering a couple more. They are really soft!
DeleteI LOVE mustard! You rock it!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great looking outfit. I, too, fall into the yoga pants and t-shirt rut as soon as I get home from work. Might want to bust out of that.
ReplyDeleteThank you! This rut is easy to fall into and hard to get out of, but I have to try. When I look put together, I feel better in general. It's some strange thing that my mind does!
DeleteHA! I'm totally sitting here in my yoga pants lol :P Cute suggestion!
ReplyDeleteI was probably wearing yoga pants when I wrote this post. ;) HA!
Deletewhat a cute idea! LOVE the outfit. totally working in workout capris right now. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThank you! And ha-ha! See above reply! :)
DeleteThis is a great idea, good for you! I love those boots :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Erica! I love my boots too and I cannot wait to find more of them! They are so comfortable!
Deleteahh I love yoga pants I'd wear them everyday! Your outfits way cute :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Thank you Lacey! I still love my yoga pants, don't get me wrong. However, we need to have some time apart for a while. LOL!
DeleteThat looks very similar to what I wore this weekend. I love yellow! Thanks for sharing on the weekend re-Treat link party.

This is such a cute idea - I'm so glad that Pinterest and Polyvore exist nowadays because I can be fashion challenged.
ReplyDeleteYes yes yes! Some of the things that I pin on Pinterest, I never would have thought about putting together. My mind is really starting to expand when it comes to style. I am really excited about this series and where it is going to take me. Thanks for stopping by!
