Meant to be Blue

This skirt is one of my recent thrift store finds.  I just loved the pattern, and it's a nice soft jersey so it is super comfortable.  The blue matched this shirt almost exactly.  Kinda crazy when that happens by accident!  My hubby said that it was weird that I was matchy matchy today.

In Your Face Floral

I found this skirt on clearance at Ross a while ago and just couldn't pass it up.  The extra large print and bright colors were too fun!  The belted button-up over a skirt was inspired by one of Sal's recent posts.  She is a fountain of knowledge and positive thinking.  If you haven't checked out her blog yet, I highly recommend it.

Cool Colors

Zoe decided to join me for pictures again today.  This is the second week in a row I've worn a blue/green combo outfit.  I seem drawn to it lately, but I probably don't have a lot of other options left to create another one.  We'll see what I can come up with.

Sorry for the kinda weird poses, but hubby/photographer tells me that it's more interesting if I'm not looking straight at the camera, so I'm giving it a shot.

A Shirtdress and Bright Legs

I've loved this dress since the moment I tried it on.  It was a dress someone had returned so it was the last one in the store and on super clearance, plus it was my size!  I love it when things like that happen.  It's like it was meant to be.  Only problem now is that it seems to be shrinking, but don't blame the dress.  I really need to get out and exercise. *blush*

Packin' Up

This was the day we had the Jeep out because we were packing for our camping trip.  I thought it would be fun to include it in my pictures so you could see what I drive back and forth to work everyday.  I have to jump a bit to get in the thing, and it's a real challenge in a tight skirt.  BUT it's worth it because we have so much fun in it!  If you'd like to read about our trip, check it out here:  Charlotte's Chitter Chatter.

Found!

I just found a bunch of old photos on my SD card.  I think they are from January, so I'm just going to post them all now so they don't drag out into spring clothing territory.

Blues

Today you get a lovely view of my filthy back porch.  Sorry!  I like the pop of turquoise with my accessories.  The outfit would have been quite dull without them.  This shirt is really comfortable to wear, but hard to style creatively.  I'm sure I will come up with something crazier if I think hard enough.

Layered

This outfit felt very layer-y for some reason.  I'm going to blame it on the skirt's ruffles.

Necklaced

I love when things can be used for multiple purposes.  Take this belt - it's really a necklace!  At the moment it's also in pieces because it fell apart in two spots last time I wore it.  Luckily it will be easy to fix when I have a minute.

Moms are Awesome

I bought this shirt at Target on clearance for $2.50 months ago because I loved the bright color and pattern.  I wore it once and did not love how the neckline stretched out as the day went on, so that at the end of the day everyone could see the goods if I bent over just a little.  Enter Mom:  she hemmed up the straps for me and now it's perfect!  I really ought to practice my own sewing skills one of these days...

Day 26

This is the last weekend during the 30 for 30, so I made sure to wear the stuff I can't wear to work.  Nikes and robot tee today, with jeans certain to appear tomorrow.  I have been keeping track of everything I wore, and I just did a tally today.  There are still a few things that have only been worn once or twice, so I'm going to work on using them to their full potential before the challenge is over.

Day 23

Today my mom sent me an email telling me that she found $4 tights at a local discount store in various animal prints and crazy plaids.  I am now counting down the days until the end of the challenge so I can go get some.

I was running late this morning so I ended up skipping makeup and not wearing tights.  I really could have used some tights today because it was cold; too cold to walk around the corner to find a better photo location, so you get the front of my house.

Wearing scarfs long works much better with skirts and dresses than it does with pants.  I really liked today, even though the colors are rather neutral.  White and denim just feels classic.  I am really regretting not including heels in my 30, though.  I want my red heels with this outfit!

Day 22

I was feeling distinctly uninspired this morning.  I kinda just threw some clothes on.  I hope this is not foreshadowing the rest of the challenge.  It turned out okay, but the denim jacket was really hot this afternoon. 

That's Hobbs begging me to open the door so he can escape.  I think he'd change his mind if he knew how much snow was out there.

Day 15

Today's outfit is very similar to Saturday's outfit (Day 12).  I actually think it turned out better because the blue in this sweater goes with the blue tights more than the purpley blue and denim of the other outfit.

I managed to get clothes washed last night, but they weren't dry yet this morning.  Tomorrow I should be able to broaden my wardrobe a bit.

Day 13

Today's outfit was a nice comfy weekend outfit.  Just jeans and a tee to keep it simple.  This is my favorite tee though.  It's from Threadless.  I could spend way too much money on silly shirts there for me and hubby. 

We went up to hubby's sister's house for dinner tonight and stopped at a rest stop in the canyon to take pictures.  The fishermen may have thought we were crazy.

Day 12

Today we had a birthday party for my hubby and I was a bit rushed all day.  I didn't end up getting any really great shots of my outfit, but here's the best one.  I was wearing a cute necklace when the night started, but I managed to break it (though it is fixable).

Day 7

The weather outside was frightful, so you get another inside picture.  I know, I know, that doesn't rhyme.  Oh, well.  Today was pretty easy, but my short sleeved button-up didn't layer as well as I had hoped for.  At least I had a fun necklace to wear.

Day 5

Today I give you outside pictures; this time taken by hubby instead of a tripod + timer.  First he complains that the grass is hiding my feet.

 

Then in the next picture, he proceeds to almost cut them out of the frame.  What gives?

More Sparkle

Another gift from MIL today - this tank top has multicolored sequins in a random pattern.  The colors are much more noticeable in person, I promise.

Tights

This is actually the first time I had worn tights since I was a little girl.  They always looked cute on other people though, so I thought I would give it a shot.  I didn't want to spend a lot of money on them if I didn't know if I would wear them or not.  I found some at Saver's (new) when they had their Halloween costumes out for $2.50 a pair, and bought a few colors to try out.  My hubby still isn't too sure about them.  I will get to the crazier colors a little bit later, but stuck with gray for my first try.
