What I Wore Wednesday {wiww}

I don't know about you, but I'm happy it's Wednesday! One day closer to the weekend! We are planning on a trip to Charleston to visit family and hang out at the Boone Plantation Oyster Festival! And if you have never met me I'm telling you right now, this girl can eat her share of oysters!

Anyway back to Wednesday. I'm of course linking up with Lindsey at The Pleated Poppy.

I wore some bright colors last week to work. Bright colors make me happy. And the turquoise statement necklace completes the look! Everyone needs this in their wardrobe!

Shirt: a cut above
Necklace: ily couture
Elastic link bracelet: alimonada

This is my typical weekend outfit. I stick to flats since I'm usually holding or chasing babies! I call it my momiform. My favorite is the detail of the buttons down the back of this shirt!

My next look is my military chic. Noah bought me this jacket for Christmas. I love that it is leopard print. And this necklace has also been on repeat. So edgy and fun!

On another note, my spider podium should be coming today or tomorrow and I can't wait to use it! What is a spider podium you're thinking? Check out my last post here.

Omg, #gamechanger

Instagram is my new bff.

I've been trying to think of a way to make my outfit posts better since I'm delving into this style blog world. I see so many cute blogs and either these girls have very talented hubbys and gfs to take their pictures or they are using a tripod, remote, and slr camera.






(Pics taken off blogs: kendieveryday.com, hellofashionblog.com,Kacieskloset.blogspot.com, and Puttingmetogether.com)

I went the hubby route but he laughed when I asked him and then I thought about purchasing a tripod for my Nikon. But I am mainly blogging from my phone and the whole process of editing and transferring pics just didn't seam feasible for me.

But thanks to @ascotfriday (via Instagram), she revealed her secret to taking pics and I'll be forever grateful!!

Her Instagram pic led me to her post here!

I totally wondered if she just had random people take her pics or a fancy photog following her cute family around on the weekends lol!

This is the pic I saw. Aren't they too cute?


So how does she do it?

Drumroll please.... Spiderpodium for the iPhone! Genius! Look it up people! I found mine here!



Now I don't have to take pics in the bathroom at work anymore! Hooray!

It's going to be a total game changer! My lovely podium will be arriving on Wednesday! Can't wait to play around! What I like about this device is that you can attach it to non-flat services. I already have the self timer app so this is really going to make accessing my pics so easy.

So stoked! Ok, just a random rambling for the night. Goodnight!

But really, I'm excited!
