Don’t you just love Wednesday? Wonderful middle of the week Wednesday? I also love Pinterest. I use it as an inspiration board. During a lively Pinterest/Twitter discussion about hoodies and my love for mommy/casual/style, I decided to pull out my one of my favorites. I love it because it is red and made of a sweater material, which from the picture below, you can’t really tell. It seems I also was into stripes this week. And in other random Wednesday news it started out freezing (like 46 degrees) and ended up being a warm and lovely 70 degrees by the weekend. So we had a total of 3 days of winter here. I think I’m ready for Spring. Here are a few things I wore…
Left: Red hoodie (Kohls), Striped shirt (Cabi) & my fave American Eagle Skinny Jeans.
Center : Grey Drapey sweater (H&M), Navy Tunic (ATL), White Tank (H&M), Jeans (AE)
Right: Brown Striped Cardigan (ATL), White Tank, & yes I wore the jeans 3 days in a row.

Other thoughts:
I love make up.
I like getting dressed and looking better than as a Weary Mom I feel.
But, don’t think it magically happens.
So, if I’m being real….
This girl is 40.
And every day it takes a little longer to make it happen.
I’m okay with that.

Edie from Life in Grace had an amazing Make Up Tutorial that I found on Pinerest. I can’t believe it is 2 years old! You should really check it out!

You have the cutest outfits. And I will have to check out that Make Up Tutorial for sure!
You know what? You look almost the same to me in both pictures: BEAUTIFUL. You have a wonderful look about you Stacey. That said, I myself am 40 now and I agree, makeup makes me feel SO. MUCH. BETTER. For Christmas I went to Sephora and my Dad ‘bought’ me my Christmas gift of new makeup from there. It was supposed to be skinny jeans but the ones someone suggested after I posted my trubbles didn’t work, so Sephora it was. OH MY does NICE ($$$) make up make a difference too. I wear makeup almost daily now, when I would only wear lipstick solo half the time before. I’m heading to the makeup tutorial right now in my bathrobe!!!
Thank you Heather for your sweet words! I would love to get lost in Sephora for the entire day. To many fun things to try! What a great gift! (an my advice on the Skinny Jeans is you have to try on about 100 pair before you find one that is right for you. It too me a while – but I love the ones from American Eagle).
Stacey….Cain just say that I have been following your blog for quite some time and I totally look forward to WIWW! I love seeing the adorable outfits you wear! You have a great style and you can rock 40!!! I could stand to learn a few tips from you, being how I’m now 41! 😉
Hey…question for you. I went to amazon to buy the ebook, Hope for the Weary Mom, the day you had it for $.95 and I saw an offer there from the MOB society to receive the ebook FREE if I subscribe to their blog. I subscribed and like their blog, BUT I have NOT received the ebook and have contacted them twice about this. I was just wondering if you have any connections with them and could help me out?

So very nice to meet you Erin! Thanks so much for stopping by – I love Wednesdays!
I love that your definition of freezing is 46, because we’ve been deliriously happy here in MN that it was in the 40s for so long this year (and even low 50s yesterday). We’re now getting back to normal – tomorrow is a high of 16!
I love make up – oh, thank goodness for it! Without it, I’d have big old black mommy bags under my eyes every day for all the world to enjoy:)
My brother lived in MN for years and I know it is truly “freezing” there! I was born and raised in the midwest but for the past 9 years have lived in Florida – and yes I have totally grown into a wimp!
Thanks for stopping by today! I am in need of a good under eye magic worker, any suggestions?
Love all your stripes!
You have great outfits! And you don’t look bad AT ALL in your before pic! Keep up the good work!
You look amazing!!! And those are some really great outfit ideas. I’m visiting from What I Wore Wednesday and would love for you to join my ABC’s of Style challenge at http://fashionsgreatesthits.blogspot.com/
