What I Wore Wednesday: Summer dresses

 Hi!  Thanks for stopping by for What I Wore Wednesday, where I link up with The Pleated Poppy and share some of my outfits from the last week.  I had fun with my hair and makeup this weekend, but I kept my outfits pretty simple.  I am realizing I really need more accessories...I should make some, like Ania from Life on The Farm, whose blog I read.  She is so good at making her own headbands and things!

I've had this dress for a few years, and I just picked up some new black leggings from Target, so I added those.  With two little ones, I can't really wear a short dress without something underneath.  Not only am I really active and busy with them, but they lift up my dress about every five minutes if I'm wearing one.

My platform espadrilles are from Old Navy last year.

 This next outfit is my hippie mama outfit, I guess.  At least, that's what I thought of when I saw these pictures.  My hair is in its wild and natural state, which is basically, you know...big!

 I like this outfit until I get to the shoes, which are pretty trashed. The maxi dress and blouse are from Target, the belt is Forever 21 Plus.  I felt super comfortable in this outfit, except that I was so hot with my hair down!  I can't wait for the weather to start cooling off, so I can wear my fall clothes and not worry about sweating everywhere I go.

 Yesterday, I wrote a post about honesty in this blog, and wanting to be more transparent in everything I do and talk about here.  Well, I just wanted to share the following picture, because it shows the real me, what my body really looks like.  Posing can help you look a lot better, but I don't live my life posing. I love taking pictures every week and always trying to look my best in them.  I'm a real person, though.  I'm not always confident with my body, but I think wearing clothes that I love makes me feel like my authentic self, and that adds confidence to everything I do.
