Styling the 1-Cut Cardigan

 Top: Volcom (old)  // Shorts:  Forever21  // Cardigan:  DIY  //  Necklace: c/o Keena  // Bracelets: mixed from Sunglasses, Etc. Guam and Everblue Guam

 I've got tons of bracelets and bangles and I love to mix them up!

I also put together another, more dressy look that I wore to a birthday party at a hotel.  I wasn't able to get pictures of me wearing it, but I did snap a few horribly lighted photos of the outfit I wore anyway.  Again, sorry for the horrible lighting.  The sun was setting so it was shining directly through the windows.  I used the same cardigan and accessories so I won't list those down below.

Dress:  Volcom (unintentional theme going on here)  //  Shoes:  Carilo from JustFab

So there you have it.  That's how I've styled my DIY 1-cut cardigan so far.  Have you guys done this yet?  Show me your creations and how you styled it!!  I've got a bunch more DIY's up my sleeve that I'm planning to get done today so be sure to come back and check them out when they're up!

I've been feeling a little uninspired and overwhelmed the past few days because I've got a lot on my mind.  I wasn't much in the mood to post today but I love linking up for the Style Sessions so I figured I should get it done now and then nap for a bit after.

 

Necklace: c/o Keena  //  Bracelets:  Sunglasses Etc. Guam  //  Bag:  Louis Vuitton  //  Top:  Target  //  Cardigan:  La Fleur Guam  //  Faux Leather Snakeskin Leggings:  c/o Christy  //  Shoes:  SM Guam

 Since baseball season has started again here, you'll probably be seeing more pictures of the stadium in my upcoming outfit posts.  This is pretty much the only time I really go anywhere so just bear with me for now.

I'm ready for my nap now.  I have to get energized for a night full of baking because it's Chloe's turn to bring something to her school's bake sale this month. Yay.  -_-

What I Wore: Sashay Chambray!

Hey girl, HEY!

So remember that sad excuse of an outfit post last Wednesday?

Well as promised, I'm making up for it!

Shirt:  Ross [$15.00]  //  Skirt:  Selena Gomez's line @ Kmart [old]  //  Necklace:  Forever21 [gifted]  //  Bracelets:  Sunglasses, etc. Guam

I got this shirt at Ross for about $15!  I had been scouring the island looking for the perfect chambray top and the fashion gods have blessed me with this beauty!  I seriously wear this top at LEAST once a week now.  It's sooooo comfy!

This skirt hasn't really seen much wear.  I bought it last year or so and only wore it about 3 times because it's so short.  Buuuttt, since I'm just sitting around the house all day now it allows me to move around and stay cool during the hot and humid Guam afternoons.

Anyway, linking up again this Wednesday with Lauren over at Style Elixir for the weekly Style Sessions Link Up.  This is seriously one of the best linkups EVER.  Why didn't I think of it??

Also, I've got big plans in store for the upcoming months.  Been taking this little blog more seriously and I've been working hard behind the scenes to bring you guys more awesome content so stay tuned for updates!

P.S. What do you think of the collage?  Do you prefer stand alone pictures instead?

What I Wore Wednesdays: You May Just Pee Your Pants

So if you've been following along around here and on Instagram (@frikkenduckie) lately, you'd know that my sister has been visiting from Hawaii for the past month.

She and I are about 7 years apart but we look so alike that some people mistake us for each other - even our own parents sometimes.

Anyway, she's been here since the beginning of January and I'm so sad that she'll be leaving soon!  The kids have always been close to her and they've informed me that they'll be leaving with her - hah, I wish!  Lol.

I think one of the best things about having her visit is that we both get expanded wardrobes!  We've got similar styles and we're practically the same size in everything (including shoes) so its really fun for us to borrow each others' clothes and mix and match items with our own to make a totally different look.

For example, I borrowed this tribal dress from her one day...

 I paired it with a black blazer [Forever21], black suede wedges [Forever21], and silver accessories [Suglasses, Etc. Guam].

My sister normally wears this dress with a denim vest, black lace-up booties, and gold accessories.  Sorry I don't have a picture of her in it for you.  Just use your imagination...

One dress, two completely different looks.

What about you?  What would you pair this dress with?  Let me know in the comments below!

P.S. My sister and I were totally goofing off while trying to shoot this outfit so I started making some really awkward poses.  Try and tell me you're not laughing your asses off at this picture:

"What I Wore" Wednesday: Flower Girl

Happy Wednesday, blog world!

Okay, so it's Thursday here on Guam but I didn't have time to post this yesterday.

I'm kind of rushing to post this now because my kids are still sick and my oldest ended up staying home from school today.  :(

So anyway, this another outfit that I have been meaning to post for a while now.

Dress:  Forever21 (gifted from Keena)  //  Earrings:  Sunglasses, Etc. on Guam  //  Belt:  Forever21  //  Sandals:  Purchased in the Philippines

I'm in love with the lace detail on this dress!

"Private Property"

Isn't this dress the cutest?  I'm a huge fan of little details on clothes like this and Keena knows me so well!  This dress makes me feel so innocent and girly...and "Like a Virgin" by Madonna is now playing in my head.  Hahaha.

Anyway, so this is my quick little outfit post for today.  Hope you guys love this dress as much as I do because I really, really do.

By the sea, Mr. Todd...

Navy Cut-out Blouse:  $24  //  Nude Lace Shorts:  $26  //  Sunglasses:  $10  //  Gold Dangle Earrings:  $6  {all bought at Sunglasses, Etc. and Etcetera by Sunglasses, Etc. on Guam}  //  Ring:  $8 {Oasap}Tan Studded Sandals:  Gifted from the Philippines

We spent this past Sunday at a beach down south.  The weather was gloomy and the tide was low so I really wasn't in the mood for a swim but as always, nothing stops my ocean-loving kids from jumping in!  While the kids were having fun, my niece and I had our own little photo adventure so I was able to get some great shots of my outfit that day.

I had actually purchased the sunglasses and earrings last Thursday at this little shop in Agana Shopping Center called Sunglasses, Etc. and the sales person told me that they had opened a new boutique called Etcetera down at the Acanta Mall in Tumon where they sold clothes and shoes too.  Girl, you had me at "clothes"!

On Saturday I decided to haul my cookies down to Etcetera and check it out for myself - needless to say, I fell in LOVE!  The boutique is so adorable and full of unique items!  I honestly would have bought a lot more if I didn't just spend $200 buying clothes for the kids earlier that morning {damn you, Macy's!}.

Anyway, so if you don't already know, Guam is a pretty small island.  As far as shopping goes, it is very limited.  We don't have a Forever21.  We don't have a H&M.  We don't even have a Walmart, people!  Yes, you can start feeling bad for me now.

The stores we do have, however, are either (a) pricey or (b) played out - as in everyone shops there so there's about a 1 in 3 chance that you'll see some other girl will be wearing the same thing.  Yup, it's that bad.  So of course I'm extremely happy that I found Etcetera and I'm glad that they keep their orders minimal because I really don't like having a fashion double.

I really wish I had taken pictures of the shop to show you but, alas, I was on my own with the double trouble {Chloe and Trace} so I had a hard enough time just trying to get them to keep still while trying on clothes.  I will try my hardest to take a few pictures the next time I go because you KNOW I'll be going back there soon.  And if you live on Guam, or are planning to visit the island, please stop by there and take a look for yourself!  FYI, the owner is so awesome and friendly!

I could not find a website for Etcetera or Sunglasses, Etc. on Guam for you guys, but there's a news article about the opening of Etcetera HERE if you want to check it out!

Oh, and due to your requests, I will be posting my full outfit from yesterday's post as well as the outfit I wore on Monday {skirt as a top} in upcoming posts so check back soon every day!
