Happy Hump Day! This has been one of those weeks where What I Wore has struggled! I’ve been trying to mix and match pieces in my closet and sometimes it just doesn’t work. Have you been there?
I tried my hardest NOT to pull out my chambray shirt this week (I wear it all the time!) but this outfit needed the chambray!
This next dress I’ve worn in the summer without the turtleneck and black boots, and to be honest, I didn’t like it and have thought about giving it to Goodwill. I decided to winterize it and I added a touch of yellow with the belt. I might keep it!
I’m trying to pull color in to all my outfits. The weather is gray enough around here and I need color!
Do you have a summer dress you could winterize by adding a turtleneck or cardigan?
Beauty For the Heart~~One of my readers sent me this quote and I love it. “People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.” - Elizabeth Kübler-Ross How true!
Have a blessed day!

I love your green blouse! Such a pretty color on you.
The dress looks fabulous too. You always look very nice and polished.

I love everything about this outfit! So gorgeous!
I used a summer dress as a skirt to fight the grey winter on my blog today. Have you seen the runways for Fall 2013, they are so lacking in color it is frightening. There is a lot of neutrals.
I need to get to Target for those brown pants, I only have two that fit at the moment and have said i will not buy more, but those are cute. The b/w is right on trend and I like how you added colour and defined your waist all at the same time. CTD
I love that graphic dress! I’m actually wearing a summery dress today with a black turtleneck – I’m so glad I can wear my spring-y items in the winter!
You beautiful girl! You look awesome.
I would never in a million years have thought to “winterize” a summer dress like this. Oh, my goodness! This is brilliant!
Thank you for everything you do so well. Love you!
Love the Casual Look with boots and skinnies, Fabulous green top!

You look adorable in the winterization of that graphic black dress. The yellow belt MAKES IT! Winterization: what a great idea!
love the classic layering of that first look! all 3 are so stylish

Cindy I love the dress! Keep it! That is a great idea. I always wish I had more of a jumper type dress for winter. I have a denim and a khaki knee length skirts that I can wear with a sweater and tights in the winter or with sandals and a spring top in the spring/summer. Love those pieces that can be worn all year long.
Hi Cyndi.
I love the way you “winterized” your dress! Keep that dress. Those mod looking prints and black/white is so in for Spring! You will wish you had it back if you part with it. It looks beautiful on you. I think you would look awesome in the Spring/Summer pairing it with some white capri length leggings and that great yellow belt.
Hope the rest of your week is amazing.

I have that sweater in the first picture…..but think I might need to go buy that chambray shirt….that looks great together!
you are so gorgeous friend, inside and out! love your beautiful home and that Red Letter Word Art. I love all your outfits!
here are mine if you want to take a look: http://ordinaryinspirations.blogspot.com/2013/02/what-i-wore-wednesday-week-3.html
This is the time of year when I get bored with my winter clothes. This week I have worn black too, too much so I plan to color it up a bit over the next month…red, wine, royal blue, purple. To save $$$ I will “shop” in my closet.
I enjoy your blog, Cyndi.

You look terrific in that green blouse!!! That is YOUR color! Love all of the outfits you pulled together, so fresh looking. I have a cotton, ankle length broomstick skirt that I bought for summer and early fall. It has a kind of black, rust and dark teal tribal pattern. I can wear it now with a black rib knit turtleneck, a black cardiand a teal scarf that matches the color in the skirt. I wear it with some black tights and black clogs. My daughter put the outfit together in the summer with t-shirts, scarves and sandals and then re-worked it into a winter look for me. I say this lest you think I’ve learned how to shop or coordinate outfits, an area in which you know, I missed the gene pool!
Great outfits, Cyndi — amazing how versatile that chambray shirt is! Keep the newly winterized dress — you’ve inspired me to look in my closet now.

I love your sense of style! I need to find a chambray shirt, because there are so many ways to wear it. I recently bought a few necklaces like your turquoise necklace from Groopdealz. It is one of my new favorite pieces to wear.
I am wondering where you found the Proverbs 3:5-6 canvas wall hanging that is behind you in one of you picturs? I have looked on Dayspring and they don’t have it…would love to buy one just like it.
Thanks!
