Off Topic

After being with my husband for 10 years-I've learned something new today. I cannot stand to listen to him eat cereal! Sounds goofy I know but the aggressive slurping and chomping...in his defense he can't stand to listen to me chew gum for the same reasons. Now that that T.M.I. piece of useless information is out of the way let's get to the real reason you're here-my outfit. Well yesterday I repeated my awesomeness and recycled a dress as a top! I know, I know, but how you say? Well it takes knowing the dress is thin enough to tuck in and not be bulky (aka would be see through without a slip) and having the courage to try something new!

I must say...and don't hold this against me, but I'm finally kinda excited for fall. Now wait, wait... only because that means layering!! So much more fun! But now hold on Jack Frost (yes I'll talk to whomever I see necessary in order to get what I want) that doesn't mean a couple more months okay realistically weeks of warm sunny days would be a bad thing, I'm just sayin' at least with cooler weather comes layers!

Bracing my inner celebrity

It's amazing how a good outfit can make you feel. These have been two of my favorite outfits thus far (no Alicia they are not a part of  my 30 remix) In case you haven't noticed, I've pretty much given up on that one and you know what? I actually don't feel the least bit deflated nor guilty, well okay maybe a little deflated and a tad guilty but who really thought I could do it anyway? Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love need options!
My first outfit made me feel a bit Gwyneth Paltrow (maybe I should mention why...my hair totally agreed with me, stick straight with no frizz, my lower half agreed with me, skirt felt like a dream and black always makes me feel slim and sophisticated) and the second outfit? definitely Ralph Lauren, well maybe his wife daughter? (nautical with flare-NEVER thought I would mix navy and brown but it worked!) Anyway...I felt pretty! Another fancy tidbit you may want to be let in on is the fact that my Ralph Lauren outfit is actually a dress not a skirt-shocking I know! It was a birthday gift from my Dad before I left CO and I had yet to wear it only because I 'm not so sure I love it as a dress but as a skirt??? YES please! Especially when my husband sees me this morning and actually complimented me, which never rarely happens :) Do you have a favorite outfit or at least something you can wear and say "I feel pretty"? I hope so!

Say Cheese!!!!!!!!

I've decided my blog may have been tricky to read in it's current font so I'm changin' it up-hope this helps my loyal followers out. Also I 'd like to take a moment and dwell on my well, uttermost suckiness. (Is that a word?) I don't think so since it's currently highlighted with red squiggles underneath it as I continue to type-oh well moving on. Okay Yes, I have been getting dressed everyday and no I haven't been taking pics so today, Friday Saturday, I am dedicating to recapping outfits.  Here are some that are to be considered part of the 30x30 remix and some that are not but either way, THERE ARE PICTURES!! And even some outfits with pieces from places other than Target! Yes applause and whistles would be nice, but since I can't hear them I'll just assume that is what the 25ish of you are doing!

Outfit #1 reminded me of needing to attend a Renaissance Festival (booo) Outfit #2 my son was running to get "into" the picture with me, Outfit #3 YES I do own an iron but NO I didn't have time to use it Outfit #4n probably my favorite and #5 well honestly I didn't realize until now that those pants are very tight, maybe my body isn't built for skinnies afterall.

I start work full-time on the 15th so blogging will become even more trickier but hey don't knock me down yet, I love getting the thoughts out of my head and onto paper too much to quit so please just keep commenting and letting me know your there so I can feel guilty if I miss a day or two!

here's the mornings aftermath aka attack of the closet monster


and ta-dah...what I actually wore to work today

Unmentionables

Well there are probably some unmentionables that well ummmm, should need to be uhhhhh, well mentioned. First and foremost, in case you missed the memo...I turned 31 last week. Yea! And in turn should have taken a look at my 31 by 31 list and uhhhhh maybe fess up to why I didn't seem to find make the time to accomplish half of whats on that list. oops

Okay moving on, secondly I have not been very good at keeping up on all this blogging I'm supposed to be doing. Oh wait, what's that? You've noticed? Oh! Why didn't you tell me! Maybe because if your anything like me, your not glued to your computer in the summer-why? because your outside enjoying the seven days of sunshine before the seven months of winter. Needless to say I will try and be better on both accounts but again, your not actually physically here so no pinkie swears or verbal promises and those are the only two that count.

Did you see that?

Was that BigFoot or a Birthday outfit? No need to ask, it's both!!

Don't ask, and please "don't climb on BigFoot."

Houston we have a problem

I have jungle fever no no NO that didn't come out right. What I meant to say was I have an obsession with green! So for today I am favoring one color and one color alone...green.  I will try and spice it up with accessories but I'm not making any promises.

Just a weee bit of complaining...I really wanted to cheat today, no not with the outfit the shoes!!!!!!!! I got these fabulous shoes while in CO and really wanted to wear them today. But guess what all you doubters...I didn't. So I took a picture with them on instead. (just to fulfill my own guilty conscious.

That being said-drumroll please....Here's outfit #10

Yup, you guessed it! All from Target.

Vacation or Failure

That is the question...Okay maybe failure's a little harsh...but I went on vaca and never came back. What I mean is I went home to CO ignoring my 30 x 30 challenge and since coming back to reality I have yet to reignite the challenge. I also have a new challenge, I know my life is soooo difficult, but now a few girls friends at work know about my 30 x 30 challenge/blog and are totally holding me accountable. For another month I only work part time so is that really fair? Leah? Alicia? TOTALLY fair! So here I go back on track...suck it up...talking to myself...Really 9 outfits? I can will do better than that!

But not today....because...it's my BIRTHDAY!!! and anyone who knows me knows that I actually prefer to celebrate BIRTH-WEEK but a certain someone ( hmmmm, Joshua aka supposed to be the loving supportive husband) seems to really be on my over-celebrating case this week, that or he's jealous! Annnywaay~ so tom. I promise to start my remix outfits again. Although I must say I'm pretty proud of myself in that my b-day outfit today is actually a dress worn as a shirt and super excited about being so creative. Okay maybe I had to be because alone the dress is a little short. Picture to come soon I promise!

On another note does color-blocking an outfit with black count? Black is a color too isn't it? I certainly don't want to discriminate...Oh right, or make excuses. So then I won't even go to the trouble of showing you my depressing black outfit.
