As I have mentioned before Pinterest inspires much of what I
do – not why I do it, but how I do it. I love having the tools to try new ideas
that push me outside of my comfort zone.
1. This week my outfits have definitely been PINspired.
Here’s what I wore this week
Somehow I’m missing Tuesday – I know I wore clothes that day
though. And I’m fairly certain it was some combination again of bubble
necklace, brown boots and blue blouse. I’m on a bit of a roll with favorites.
Mondays outfit was a take on an idea I’d pinned and
recreated ages ago
This time I just added a black cardigan for warmth.
Wednesday I wanted to a) get away from my brown boots
because I feel like I’m over wearing them (though I still LOVE LOVE LOVE them)
and b) look pulled together since we had a big meeting in office that day. My
pattern silk shirt is a go to for when I want to feel great. I got the idea to
pair it with a statement bubble necklace from a bunch of pictures – I kept
seeing pattern shirts with statement necklaces and thought that I should try.
Thursday I wanted to feel cute and comfortable – there weren’t
any meetings in office and I knew I wanted to stay warm.
I love the cozy feel in this next picture
But also liked the fun addition of the necklace to this outfit
And today I laid in bed scrolling through Pinterest on my
phone and felt blank about what to wear. It’s Friday so I can be more casual,
but it’s the last day of the Fast so I want to dress nicely.
I remembered seeing a Pin with a grey shirt and turquoise
statement necklace and was tempted by the thought of it. But all my T shirts are still packed (I’m terrible at
unpacking) so I only have blouses. I didn’t know how to dress it up, but then I
came across a Pin that is the full length version of the above first mentioned Pin and made a plan.
I realized that if I paired a cardigan with a short sleeve
grey blouse that I have in my closet that I could in a dressier way do this
style. Also it’s Friday so I want to take advantage of the fact that I can wear
jeans, so rather than sticking with Black Skinnies, I went with Denim Skinnies
and Black Boots.
I can’t express how much I enjoy outfits now. I’m so
thankful for Pinterest. Seriously. And Blogs.
2. Not Pinterst Related
In case you wondered what I’m doing today…this…all day
Oh and yes, I did get more free things, thank you!
I picked up 5 of these last night for free. We needed 2 for
student desks and we need more around our tables. We’re almost all full up,
phew!
3. Pinterest Inspires my food
Since it was a fasting week and I wasn’t cooking all week I
spent a lot more time planning future food than normal to help with the loss. I’m
all meal planned up for the next month and have Life Group dinners planned
until the summer #keeneralert
Pinterest has helped play a large role in food ideas. Here
are the ones I’m trying this week:
For Saturday dinner with John and Lindsay:
For Sunday: My favorite soup in the world - Olive Garden Love
And a week day dinner plan:
4. Life
This week has been busy but good –
Monday was a Deacon’s meeting, followed by a planning
meeting for our upcoming Gospel Weekend
Tuesday was Life Group
Wednesday I was supposed to go our Church’s Women at Prayer
but took at nap at 6pm and didn’t wake up until the next morning (Oops)
Thursday was sister hang out time and free chair pick up
Friday (tonight) ENV Breaking the Fast Celebration, followed
by homemade burgers and homemade Fries with the Maxwell’s
Saturday (tomorrow) is for more work around the house (you
can expect a blog update on our progress next week) and then dinner with the
McCarthy’s (as mentioned above)
Sunday our new student from Korea arrives! Then it’s church
and another Gospel Weekend Planning Meeting.
It will be a great weekend.
Hope yours is too!
