PRINTED LEGGINGS ARE NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART
First off, I want to thank all of you who participated in my first Wednesday’s Wardrobe link-up. It was a complete success!!! My only goal was to have it actually work, the fact that several of you joined, is just icing on the cake. If you looked at the post yesterday, you still might want to check back periodically through the week. The link-up will be open till next Tuesday. So, more bloggers might still join in. I will send out a few invitations in the coming week, and hopefully we will have more participation next week.
I think I need to tweak the link-up, I want it to show “everyone” on my front page. I don’t want you having to click on the frog-icon to go to a link-up page. I have a week to figure out how to change that. If anyone knows the answer, please tell me. 
I am thrilled to see the sun and warmer weather has returned. This outfit was one that I wore last week on my trip to Tennessee. I will always pick something comfortable when I have a long drive in front of me. You can’t get much more comfortable than leggings. 
My cute lace top is from Cato’s and it is at least a year or two old. I like the frilly features of the top, but the arm holes are way too big. Since I have on a cardigan, you can’t see that, plus I also have on a white camisole underneath.
White Top: Lace | Talbots (misses, petites, plus) | JC Penny
I told you these printed leggings were not for the faint of heart. I bought these in November at Cato’s. I have no idea why they were on the shelf in November, but I bought them because I knew I would eventually wear them. I have tried them on at least twice before, but they just never looked right. Did I just hear someone say they still don’t look right? Lol! These leggings are not my first crazy pair that I have worn, remember these?
Leggings: Reptile | Floral | Camo | Plus
The longer length cardigan is older as well, and it is by Old Navy. Come on gurls, everybody needs a navy cardigan or jacket. Navy is so versatile, it goes with anything and everything. You can see this one is long enough to cover the tush area. YOU’RE WELCOME! Lol!
Navy Cardigan: Long & Linen | Plus | Duster
I just had to show you an up-close picture of my hair. I tried to style it in the “beach wave” style. Some of you have asked about the products I use in my hair. I use Pureology Perfect 4 Platinum in a shampoo and conditioner, and I use Big Sexy hairspray. That is it, nothing else. For this look I used my straightener and twirled it round. I can do the one side much better than the other. Either way, it just takes practice.Have you noticed the beautiful necklace I have on? It is so cute. On my way to Tennessee we stopped at a couple shops, I know shocking, and I had three different people walk up to me to compliment me on the necklace. It is by Plunder Designs. I called my BFF, Bertha, to see if she had her Plunder sales page up and going yet, but she said it would be tomorrow before it is ready. I’ll link to that tomorrow for you, if you don’t already know someone who sells Plunder.
Do you follow me on FaceBook? If not, you will want to do that today. Tomorrow I am starting a FaceBook only giveaway for a $30.00 gift certificate to Plunder Designs. The rules will be that you like my Facebook page, and share the giveaway post. Then you will need to leave a comment that the post was shared. Leave the comment on my FaceBook giveaway page so I know you shared the post. Sometimes the shared portion does not show everybody, and I would hate for you to miss out. The giveaway will stay open till next Tuesday. I will announce the winner on my Wednesday’s Wardrobe post.
And now that I know you can leave comments (that is the most I have EVER had) I will be expecting them from you daily. Hahaha?

I have the same leggings! I always wear them with a long denim button down, scarf, etc.
I am new to your blog and really love the outfits you put together. Can many of the items you share be found in petites? I am 5′ 1″. Thanks so much!!
Wendy, most of the stores I shop at have a petite section. I don’t link to petite or plus for every link but most of the time they are available if you check the store out. Thanks for following and taking the time to comment.
Love the hair and love this outfit; so cute!
Prints on the bottom should NOT be worn by gals who carry their weight in their hips and thighs. Dark colors or a monochromatic look are best for this body type. If you have large hips or thighs, prints will only call attention to your challenge area. It is vital to know your body type so you know what looks best on you!
Thanks for the tip Sharon?
love the outfit, especially the necklace. regarding the inlinkz, if you hosted on WordPress, your only option is for the links to publish on a separate page. You have to be self-hosted for the links to show in your post.

Thanks Rena. I get all confused with the hosted vs self hosted. I am on wordpress but I am hosted through GoDaddy. What does that make me?
Then I think you are self-hosted. When you go to get the script for your link-up, make sure to pick the option for WordPress self-hosted. The code is only one line inside [] and not multiple lines.
Thanks Rena. I will check that out. I was thinking that it only gave me two choices, blogger or wordpress, but I might have missed the options.
Love the printed leggings. Leggings are against the dress code at my work without a long top or a dress or skirt worn over them. I wore some printed leggings yesterday which I rarely do. I also have a pair of orange linen printed capris that I wear. I have noticed that printed pants draw the eye downward and keep the focus off my thick middle…or at least that is what my best friend tells me! From what I read in your blog, your friends sound a lot like two of mine. They’ll tell me when something looks good and when it doesn’t. As for your hair, I like the style, cut and color you have. I have curly hair and I usually wear it curly. I went to a new hairdresser recently and got a brand new cut and color. I have had to learn how to use a flat iron. The other day, I got brave and put some waves in my hair with the flat iron. I think your hair looks great. I have gotten so many great ideas on putting outfits together by reading your blog. I look forward to reading it every day. Thanks for the ideas!
Cute keggins. Love your hair. I’ll have to see if I can style my hair with beach waves, I have a similar cut. I stopped in Cato but haven’t had much luck finding anything…yet!
You look great!!! I may just look for some leggings now.
