#InstagramUpdate


 So, lovelies, sorry for not posting this past week, I taught VBS all week long last week, and caught a virus the last day and was running a 102° fever over the weekend with the worst fatigue and sore throat. I thought I would be able to muster up my energy and do a post by today, but I am still feeling puny, so I decided to do another Instagram update. But don't worry, I will be back next week! Here are some latest posts from me (@elizabeth_carole)! Well, as you can see, I love Gap. But anyways, hope you find me on Instagram and follow along!

Peasant Life


Let me introduce you to my new favorite top for the summer: the floral embroidered peasant blouse. Yes, it is amazing. And oh so flowy and comfy. Me and my mother went to NY&Company yesterday and scored this awesome blouse along with some others, using our $45 off $100. 

Peasant shirts are always a great option for anyone, but especially me because I have broad shoulders and it hangs nicely off of them. For this specific look with the denim shorts, I made a day outfit to run errands in, and a night outfit, to have some fun in our small country town. I paired this outfit with a soft lavender to give it a girly touch.

After running some errands around town, per the usual, I decided to step up my day look into what could be a night outfit, if you are the fun sort of person that does things after work. I took my hair out of the braid, added a cute periwinkle clutch and threw on some wedges that I got from Target last year, and arguably are one of my favorite and most comfortable wedges ever.


Wedges: 123

Instagram


So, I follow a few bloggers pretty regularly, and one of them posted their recent Instagram photos, and I thought it was a great idea! Just because some people don't have Insta or just don't use it, and posting every now and then can be helpful to have the pics all in one place. If you DO use Instagram however, follow me @elizabeth_carole ! Or to view all of my pics click here to see them at Instagram online! Since I've never done an Insta post, I got pics from a while back and will do a few more updates to get to my most recent posts. Hope you like!

Denim + Sneaks


So, this outfit I wore to my church on Sunday. Yes, my church isn't very legalistic in what people wear, so you can dress however you want to. (Although bikinis are not advised) And the real reason I wore tennis shoes was because I woke up about 4 minutes before we had to leave and putting on heels that fast after I get out of bed is a bad idea. Otherwise, I would have paired this with a cute nude wedge or something like that. 

But onto the tennis shoes - I got these shoes at, you'll never believe it, Wal-Mart. Yes, good 'ol Wally world does it again. They look just like Keds, and between my Keds and Wal-Mart off brand that I've had for the same about of time, my knockoffs look just as good, if not better than the name brand. And they were only, wait for it, $6! Yes, not $60, or even $10, just $6. I have a denim, red, white, and black pair now. I got these white ones last week and are a great addition to my spring closet. A lot of girls and bloggers like to wear wedges or strappy heels in the spring (I do too, don't get me wrong, but not as an every day shoe), but living in a small country Georgian town, sneakers are the most comfortable and don't kill your feet in the mountainous terrain.

Most of these items, I bought a few years ago - the skirt is Fossil, the denim jacket is Gap, and the shirt is H&M. The purse I got for Christmas this year, its a Steve Madden, and it is my go to purse. I love the fringe because it goes with everything I have. The bracelet used to be my stylish grandmothers, the watch was from NY&C, and the diamond bracelet was a gift I believe from J.Crew.



Can we talk about how cool this bird necklace is? It is one of my favorites and I wear it all the time. It was a gift from one of my best friends, and is from Fossil. It's so versatile and can be so edgy and yet so feminine. The earrings are from Belk a few years ago.


(So a lock of my hair just decides to magically bond with the rest of it. My hair has its own agenda.)
