Wait a second...let me be completely honest for one moment. I thought I'd give the saying "yours truly" a test run and it would sound good, but I actually decided that it is completely not me. Let's start over.   And now for a WIWW post by me, a Pinterest copying, bargain hunting, normal chick just trying to be stylish. Ahhh, now that sounds more like it. Pressing on.   I know y'all have seen this outfit that I just NOW realized was pinned by Lindsey over at The Pleated Poppy!     I link up with her every Wednesday for her WIWW series and today I will be copying her outfit. Why? Well because it is adorable, of course!    Since we are being 100% honest here, let me tell you that I might, or might not, have pinned this outfit between 4-8 times. Overkill, I know, but obviously I reallyyyy like it. I remember making a "note" on my phone titled: Clothes I Want. Let's just say the list is getting longer than it is shorter. Anyways, I was on the hunt for items to make up this outfit and I walked away with a win, a jackpot if you will.    Remember when I had a weekend extravaganza of shopping? And I purchased a jean shirt and black pants? Click {here} if you need a little refresher. Well here is that little ensemble in action, literally. (Read: my sweet husband is really getting creative with this picture taking stuff! He is "posing" me and letting me know when I don't look natural. What a sweetheart.)  

Now where did I find the pieces to this little outy-outfit (I can say that, right?!).. - Top: Forever 21 - Black jeans: Banana Republic (Read: They are so. freaking. comfortable.) - Boots: Nordstrom - Scarf: Hand me down from my Momma...she get it from her momma, whoop-tee-woo!
Now, if you aren't feeling these super comfy jeans - seriously, they are like black jeggings - you can always wear these:  

  Yah, I sometimes wear my Nike running tights with this outfit. Got a problem with it? That's what I thought. I can see you right now going and changing those jeans for your yoga tights, or non-running-running tights as I like to call the ones I am wearing in the picture above. If you wear running tights as a fashionable item more than you wear them to actually run, that still makes you a runner, right?  

Before I let you go I MUST tell you about this fantabulous GIVAWAY that I am participating in starting TOMORROW! Rev your fingers and get your clickers ready because we are giving away a lot, A LOT, of super-duper-fantastic items! Get ready for the 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY. If that doesn't make your heart race, you must be...nevermind. 

    Happy Wednesday!   Linking up at The Pleated Poppy and Because Shanna Said So and Rolled Up Pretty and I am Pisces and Keep Calm & Carry On and Beautiful Mess
