I’m loving this mustard color so much this season, I decided to go all out and do a monotone look. I liked it.

T-shirt from the concert. I wonder if this little Cockatoo is a Jesus Freak too. His hair says definitely possible.

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas!  Very excited to start mixing in some pieces I got for Christmas!

This one is the same outfit from last week except I paired it with leggings instead of my dress pants.  Perfect example of your wardrobe serving double-duty.

Is this matching photo not amazing?  I really thought I’d struggle to find a picture to go with my red and green from our Christmas Eve service Monday but wow!  Fungus to the rescue!

More beautiful fungus among us!

Hope you love these posts as much as I do!  Even the girls are getting into it.  Lexi especially loves finding just the right one!  God is so good and His creations are beautiful—which means you are too!

I started off the week attempting last week’s challenge picture.  Here’s a reminder of our little inspirational finch:

My goal was to try to pull in the gray, black and white print, red and peachy accents together.  Not an easy feat.

 

I’m not sure it mirrors the picture exactly but I like the outfit and like that I would never have naturally put them together and yet, it works.

This second attempt was closer to the picture.

I feel like the mustard was truer to the picture than the peachy color and I like it paired with red. 

Also, I feel like I should note that the scarf is a T-shirt scarf I made in less than 15 minutes after I shopped several stores and could not find the right color red.

I’ll be posting next week’s challenge directly on our Facebook page so make sure to hop over and like it. Alrighty, I’m so excited to see your pictures!

OK, first can we comment on the date—12.12.12?  So cool.  Last one for a very, very long time.  Last in my life time, I suppose.

I really wish I had an olive or black jacket to go with this.  I had a sandy colored one but it went back to Target with a hole and I’m not sold on the style anyway.

This little guy cracks me up!

The similarity between these two photos is kind of crazy.  Look at the blue sky, caramel tones in the middle and sandy color at the bottom of the photos.  Even the different types of brown are mirrored in the same places.  Freaky! 

Also?  New boots!  My Nine West ones had lost their form and kept falling down. If you look in the two previous pictures, I’m crossing my legs just to make sure I can hold up my left boot so it didn’t slouch more than the right.  Classy! 

I got these boots for an extra discount during some holiday sale.  I love how Nine West shoes consistently fit my foot like a glove.  Boots bought through the mail?  Amazing!

I found out this week that fungi is actually pretty beautiful.  If you can get past the fact it is fungi, you’ll be amazed at all the shapes and colors!

Alrighty, last week I asked if any of you’d be interested in accepting an inspirational photo challenge and you said yes!  I’m so excited! 

You have all week to figure out an outfit inspired by the photo.  Then, take your picture (if you want!) and either Instagram it, tweet it or put it on your own WIWW blog post, or just email it to me and I’ll take care of getting it uploaded.  I’ll have a linky here so we can share the links to the pictures and be able to see all of our inspirational outfits in one place!  Won’t that be fun?

So without further adieu, here is your photo:

I picked this one because black, white, gray and red are probably colors that most people have in their closets.  Also, I know a lot of people are wearing red this time of year.  And gosh, don’t you just love that God dressed this little finch in polka dots??

To get your juices flowing, a very simple outfit would be a white shirt, black cardigan and red accessories.  Simple as that! 

If you’re feeling really challenged, I’d love to see someone pull together the polka dots, the peachy color AND the red without looking crazy as a bird!

Have fun with this and please, please don’t go out and buy something to make this work.  Part of the point is being inspired to use the clothes you have in different ways. 

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.  I’ll be doing one as well so no matter what, you won’t be alone!  Have fun and see you back next week!!

Fellow small-grouper Jenny and I were laughing that we had the same jacket last week.  I realized we were both wearing blue too, so I just had to snap a picture and use it for this week’s WIWW!

I definitely was channeling Cyndi with this outfit.  If you don’t read her blog, she’s great and you should!  She has a very classy but trendy look!

This was my Christmas-ish outfit for the town parade. I thought I might be cold so I tried out some warm boot socks with my boots. Shh, don’t tell anyone but I borrowed Scott’s boot socks.  I keep meaning to buy myself some but never think of it.

I can’t get enough of my bubble necklace.

Wow, so it looks like I was inspired by birds this week! Amazing when I find a theme and didn’t have any idea when I was picking my outfits out.

So at this point in the week (and compiling this post as I do it through the week), I finally broke down and bought a few items at Target. I tried something new and took my phone in the store with my Pinterest Inspiration board open.  I was holding the phone with Pinterest pulled up to see how I might pair colors together.  I was having so much fun.

I *love* how this outfit turned out.  I would never have put these items together before.  Some people would say I don’t match but it makes me happy and that’s not something I could always say!

Matthew 6:26 Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds.

Question: What would you guys think if I posted a picture next week and challenged us all to find one outfit for the next week inspired by that picture?  Then, if you wanted, you could snap a picture and email it to me and I’d share it?  I think it would be super fun but it’d be up to you guys.  Let me know!

But the basic reality of God is plain enough. Open your eyes and there it is! By taking a long and thoughtful look at what God has created, people have always been able to see what their eyes as such can’t see: eternal power, for instance, and the mystery of his divine being. Romans 1:19-20 (MSG)
