Capturing Joy with Kristen Duke
Capturing the Joy in Life
For those new to my site, every once in a while, I like to share my outfits, as I like to look at the pleated poppy’s site on Wednesdays to see what outfits others are sharing. I’m trying to “shop by closet” more and I get ideas there! To see my past fashion posts, head here. A few months ago I was not a fan of the NEON trend. I told myself I wasn’t going… Continue Reading
{If you are new to my blog, I like to share on SOME Wednesdays what I wore in the past week, joining up with The Pleated Poppy’s fashion link party, and to challenge myself to be creative with my style. To see my past What I Wore Wednesdays posts head on over HERE.} For those of you not following my facebook or instragram feeds, our family spent spring break last week in Walt Disney World.… Continue Reading
This is the day AFTER I did my hair. I haven’t actually DONE my hair in months…this consists of a blow dry (20-25 min.) then a flat iron curl to all of it (20-25 min). I actually did my hair for Better Blogging Google Hangout for the millions handful of bloggers watching online. I like my hair when it’s done like this…I should do it more often…oh yeah, it takes an hour, maybe not. I… Continue Reading
If you are new around here, sometimes on Wednesdays, I share what I wore in an attempt to challenge myself to get dressed and seek inspiration from others sharing…. I saw these striped leggings at H&M (that JUST opened in Austin–yay!) recently and had to get them. I mulled over what to wear them with, and when I asked a teen girl what she’d wear them with, she said “sweater shirt.” I have one of… Continue Reading
For those new around here, I like to occasionally share the outfits I’ve assembled and link up to What I Wore Wednesday at The Pleated Poppy. It’s a way for me to a) Be accountable for getting dressed in something other than my workout clothes (notice only 3 outfits below;) and b) try to help inspire others because I get SO much inspiration by looking at all the other gals that link up. I have… Continue Reading
It’s been a while since I’ve shared what I’ve worn! I just had to take a break….but I’ve got a few new outfits to share, and I’m linking up to The Pleated Poppy, as usual. For those new, I get inspiration from others aiming to be stylish on a budget, and share what I wear. I noticed when editing pics that I found one serious and one smiley of me–which do I do best? Outfit… Continue Reading
Ok, I’ll admit…sometimes I feel a little silly doing a weekly entry of the clothing I wore. Some weeks, I’ve got just my Sunday outfit to share b/c there wasn’t much interesting about the rest of the week. The other day I was wearing my jammy bottoms and a big comfy t-shirt as I was sitting on my neighbors driveway chatting and my other neighbor came by and asked if I was going to feature… Continue Reading
Playing along with The Pleated Poppy to share what I wore, and get ideas from what other’s wore during the week. I wore painting clothes all day today, my work out clothes all day yesterday, but I did get dressed over the weekend for a baby shower and church! I kinda feel like this first outfit was a “miss.” I didn’t love it. I used to love this skirt, but now it is so big,… Continue Reading
It’s Wednesday, so why not grab some pics of my outfits on my trip and share ‘em? Even though you will likely see them in the coming weeks, it’s fun to link up to The Pleated Poppy’s What I Wore Wednesday series. The night before my trip, I posted on facebook how agonizing it is for me to plan clothing for a trip. I generally like to get a new outfit (or two) for such… Continue Reading
I’ve heard from so many of you that you love this What I wear Wednesday feature, so I’m bringing it back…every once in a while. Sometimes, I get the hankerin’ to coordinate with my girls when we go to church…you know…as if we are going to do a little photo shoot or something;) It’s always on my mind…I found my leopard print heels at Ross a while back, and wasn’t sure I could pull them… Continue Reading
I realized I was attending 6 Christmas events in 5 days, so I challenged myself to craft unique yet festive outfits for each one. I like to wear red or green or both for holiday parties and events, and knowing that in one extended weekend, I had several places to go and with generally the same group of people, I knew I wanted to shake it up. I didn’t buy anything new once I had… Continue Reading
I think I’m going to take a break from WIWW for a little bit. It’s summer…it’s hot…and my clothes just aren’t that exciting on the weekdays. I mean, I don’t even get to walk into the school and show the staff how “put together” I am while wrangling 4 kids. Plus, I have such a backlog of pictures to share, and I need my Wednesdays back! For that reason, I am combining it with a… Continue Reading
I have a million pictures to share from my trip, but I haven’t even sat down to edit them, so for today I’ll post my WIWW outfits from the week before my trip. Cream lace shirt, shoes, necklace: Forever 21, skirt: J Crew outlet, earrings: Charming Charlies shirt: JCrew outlet, Skirt: no clue, but I wear it all the time in the summer! Shoes: Payless this season, dress: so old but love it, headband: kids… Continue Reading
If you are new around here and unsure what this is, go to my original post , and to see my past 7 WIWW’s, click here. Ok, so my facial expression below leaves much to be desired, but it showed my outfit/hair the best. Another top from Charming Charlie’s. Hard to tell the white on top is lace, I work a snug white shirt underneath. I tried a black one (to show off the lace more) but… Continue Reading
Not a whole lot to show for this past week. I traveled and if you really want to see what I wore, scroll back a few posts. I’m sure I will be wearing them again, too. I’ve got just 2 outfits to show this week for the viewing audience. I am feeling slightly sheepish posting my WIWW ensembles after finding out today that 2 cute girls that I consider fashionistas admitted to being my blog stalkers. I… Continue Reading
