Since it is already the middle of October, I thought I’d better get working on my 30 before the end of my 30’s list.
Last night, we got all dressed up for my son’s birthday dinner, so I thought it was the perfect time to take a few Fashion shots. I’ve always wanted to do a fashion post, as I’ve been interested in Fashion since I was a little girl.
Dressing up in my mom’s old clothes was a favorite pass time, and as I grew up, I even did a little (very little) modeling. Unfortunately, I am short, and destined never to be a Super Model. However, that doesn’t mean I can’t pretend sometimes.
So, I had my husband take a few shots of me last night before we went out, and I discovered a few things.
- I am very, very pale.
- Modeling is not as easy as it looks.
- I really need to color my hair.
- I need to study more fashion posts before I do this again.
Without any further ado, here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure or amusement.
I had been looking for the perfect jumpsuit forever. Finally, since I’ve lost some weight and clothes aren’t uncomfortable anymore, I can shop at H & M, and I found this Black Jumpsuit on clearance. It was $6!!!! How could I pass it up?!?! I accessorized it with a necklace from Banana Republic, and booties (which I’ve had for years) from Macy’s by Marc Fisher.
Jumpsuit (similar) Silver Necklace (similar) Boots (similar)
Also, since we live in Wisconsin, no look would be complete without a coat. I found this awesome animal print at Target, also on clearance. If I’m going to buy something trendy, it has to be cheap.
This is not an affiliate post or sponsored in any way, but just for me to have some fun.
Let me tell you what is not fun…what I am doing right now while you’re reading this. I am having a scope done to check on my acid re-flux and my esophagus. It’s an annual check that I have needed since having been intubated when having a c-section with my twins. Now, the doctors have never told me it’s related, but I never had acid re-flux or damage to my esophagus before. At my first and second scopes, they have found Barrett’s Esophagus, which is a pre-cancerous condition. There is nothing they can do but medication and monitoring my diet right now.
So, if you have time, send a few good thoughts my way this morning.
And thanks for indulging me in my fashion post. Hope you’re having a great Thursday.

October 15, 2015 at 7:43 amThat’s a cute outfit Shann! I wish it was an affiliate link because I really want one and I think yours is cuter than the H&M one.

Primp and Prime Beauty says
October 15, 2015 at 8:52 amYou are too cute! You look amazing 🙂 I can’t believe that gorgeous jumper was only $6! I love outfits that are one piece. It saves me time and a headache of trying to put together the perfect outfit.
Shann says
October 15, 2015 at 3:46 pmExactly! Thank you. 🙂
My Urban Family says
October 15, 2015 at 8:59 amClearance finds like that are the best! And it looks great on you! I’m always too short to pull off outfits like that.
Shann says
October 15, 2015 at 3:46 pmYes, LOVE clearance. I’m pretty short too. I usually have to cut off the bottoms of my jeans. This surprisingly wasn’t that long.
Becky @ Disney in your Day says
October 15, 2015 at 9:07 amI think you look lovely! What a steal on that jumpsuit. I need to study more fashion posts too. I always take pictures for my Stitch Fix reviews but feel so awkward about it!
Shann says
October 15, 2015 at 3:45 pmYes. Awkward is a good word for it. Especially when we were in the front yard 🙂 I always like your Stitch Fixes 🙂
Crystal // Dreams, etc. says
October 15, 2015 at 9:32 amCute outfit! And the Target clearance section is the best for trendy items. 🙂
Shann says

Shann says
October 15, 2015 at 3:43 pmThank you Anamika! I hope so 🙂
Lindsay (@itssimplylinds) says
October 15, 2015 at 9:46 amOh my gosh you look stunning! Going out of your comfort zone works for you. I especially LOVE the jumpsuit.
Shann says

Mistle says
October 15, 2015 at 10:29 amThat jumpsuit looks great on you! What a steal only being $6! That’s awesome! I need to start doing more fashion posts of my blog as well, but I hate how I look sometimes in photos. I hope everything goes well with your appointment today!
Shann says
October 15, 2015 at 3:42 pmThank you so much!
Sara Strand says
October 15, 2015 at 10:48 amI could never do this because I can’t take serious pictures and also, Matt is the worst photographer EVER.

Madelaine Lam says
October 15, 2015 at 12:04 pmYou looked great on that romper! The leopard coat was a nice touch by adding that pattern!
Shann says
October 15, 2015 at 3:40 pmThank you!
Alex Bone says
October 15, 2015 at 12:13 pmGreat outfits!
ashortblonde says
October 15, 2015 at 12:40 pmThat jumpsuit is awesome and what a steal! I am currently trying to find one too.
Shann says
October 15, 2015 at 3:40 pmIt’s so hard to find the right one!
tara pittman says
October 15, 2015 at 1:06 pmI love leopard coats. I have a new one that will be great to wear when it gets cold.
Shann says
October 15, 2015 at 3:40 pmI wish it wasn’t cold enough here already 😉
hilkayaker says
October 15, 2015 at 1:24 pmThanks for the fashion post! Way out of my comfort zone too! I think it’s a cute jumpsuit and I like your modelling. Congrats on loosing so much weight you get to go shopping! It’s not easy!
Shann says
October 15, 2015 at 3:39 pmThank you! It really is not easy, you’re right.
Brianna George says
October 15, 2015 at 1:39 pmReally cute. I love that outfit. Now to find a place to wear it. -a mom in yoga pants
Shann says
October 15, 2015 at 3:51 pmExactly 🙂
Shann says
October 15, 2015 at 3:39 pmLove porcelain! I’ll have to start using that too 🙂 It took me quite a while to find one that fit right because they all have really long legs. This one worked well, and I could wear it even without heels.
homesteadwishing says
October 15, 2015 at 6:02 pmI love that jumper it looks super cute! I like the poses you did. I think you did very well!
Shann says
October 15, 2015 at 8:22 pmThank you so much 🙂

Claudette Esterine says
October 15, 2015 at 10:29 pmRefreshing to see something other than the “little black dress.” You look very nice.
Shann says
October 16, 2015 at 10:07 pmThank you 🙂
Karlyn Cruz says
October 15, 2015 at 10:47 pmI can’t imagine the anxiety over having a scope done and the chance of cancer. I will definitely keep you in my thoughts.
Shann says
October 16, 2015 at 10:06 pmThank you, Karlyn.
Beth@FrugalFroggie says
October 15, 2015 at 10:50 pmLove the jumper. Andy Cohen would be dying over your outfit.

Shann says
October 16, 2015 at 10:04 pmPale is the new tan….I LOVE that!
Shaylee @ Data Nerds says
October 16, 2015 at 10:36 amI am in LOVE with that jumpsuit and it looks so great on you! My problem with jumpsuits (and dresses) is I’m very short so they always look disproportionate on my body. 🙁
Shann says
October 16, 2015 at 2:18 pmThank you. I’m pretty short too, and surprisingly the legs weren’t too long on this one.
Rocio Chavez (@yoursassyself) says
October 16, 2015 at 12:29 pmToo cute! Thanks for reminding me about H&M – we’ve had one in town for a while and I keep forgetting to head there for fun cool finds – heading there today!
Shann says
October 16, 2015 at 2:14 pmAwesome! Love H&M 🙂
Liz Mays says
October 16, 2015 at 4:02 pmThat looks fabulous on you! I’m hoping for good results with your testing, by the way.
Shann says
October 16, 2015 at 10:00 pmThank you so much Liz. I really appreciate that.
Corina Ramos (@NotNowMomsBusy) says
October 16, 2015 at 5:12 pmFirst, I’m sending positive vibes and prayers your way Shann. I love this jumpsuit and you are so rocking the leopad coat!
I hope the meds help! Take care of yourself.

Julia says
October 16, 2015 at 11:40 pmYou are right fashion shoots arent as easy as you would think, but they can be fun. Hope your acid reflux gets better.
Shann says
October 17, 2015 at 10:06 amThank you!
Angie Scheie says
October 17, 2015 at 2:53 amI really like that jumpsuit! As a very tall girl, it’s hard to find one that fits so you are lucky to be able to go to H&M. Also…yes fashion posts are a lot harder than they look, and I hear you on the pale thing! :). Way to get out there and try something new though. Looks great:).
Shann says
October 17, 2015 at 10:05 amThank you so much! Isn’t it funny how it’s hard to find being short too? I wonder who they are making these jumpsuits for?
Devon says
October 17, 2015 at 10:21 amYou look GREAT! And that black romper is ADORABLE. I can’t believe you found such a good deal. I’m kind of short so rompers are hard for me, I have to find ones of all the same color from top to bottom and this one is great. I am going to try to see if they might have any more, or at least something similar. Thanks for inspiring me to try a new look!
Shann says
October 17, 2015 at 5:43 pmYou’re welcome…and thank you! 🙂
Susannah says
October 17, 2015 at 12:38 pmYou’re so cute!!! I LOVE that jumpsuit!!! <3
Shann says
October 17, 2015 at 5:41 pmAwe. Thank you 🙂
kleebanks says
October 17, 2015 at 3:33 pmSorry to hear about the esophagus problem – sounds like the same problem my Mom had.
I think you did great with the modeling and I love the jumpsuit!
Shann says
October 17, 2015 at 5:39 pmThank you so much.
Anna C. (@annavintageowl) says
October 18, 2015 at 9:47 amYou look amazing! That jumpsuit was made for you! If you would like a piece of advice from a very pale girl, embrace it! It’s gorgeous! When editing your photos try to bring up the natural colors around you instead of applying sepia effects 😉
Shann says
October 18, 2015 at 7:38 pmThank you, and thanks for the tips .
olga says
October 18, 2015 at 10:41 amYou are so brave! I’m entirely not photogenic but may have to push my boundaries and give it a try. Your outfit is too cute, you definitely do this again.
Shann says
October 18, 2015 at 7:48 pmAwe. Thank you so much .
