Theme?

~Black and white camo top, GNW

~Aqua 3/4s v-neck t, Port Authority

~Jeans, Ethel

~Cute new shoes!, Franco Sarto

I'm not sure I really have a theme this week unless you count "New." As in, new 'do (got my hair done Monday), new shoes, and new clothes. Since I have new things I'll be bringing them out to play this week. On display for today are my snazzy new shoes, purchased by Grandma. Ok, purchased by me with a gift card from Grandma!

Romantical

*Editor's note: Due to a technical error (as in, I accidentally deleted the photos), all Week of Love photos were lost. I'm redoing them...slowly.

~Red shoes, 9-2-5


Eh. Not really feelin' it today, but it did the job.

Season of Love

In honor of Valentine's day, this week's theme is red. Or, as I'm not sure I have enough red for a whole week, there might be some pink thrown in as well. I've got a couple of outfits picked out already and am working on the rest.

And a splash of color...

~Corduroy blazer, JC Penney

~Red print dress, The Difference

~Black 3/4 sleeve tee, Port Authority

~Black leggings, The Difference

~Shoes, Paolo

~Necklace, The Difference

ok, more than a splash! This dress is a lot of fun to wear, and I love the shock value of pairing it with green. I always get a million compliments on the shoes, which I adore. I bought the shoes on a whim because I was in love with them and thought they were adorable, and different - but then realized I had nothing with which to wear them. I had to go shopping to find something to wear with the shoes! Because I love them so, a close up:

And details of the necklace. This is one of my favorite pieces.

No pictures with the jacket because I couldn't get one that didn't make me look enormous. I swear I didn't look pregnant today!

Change the Batteries

~Jeans, Ethel from The Difference
~Tweed Shoes, J Jill

I brought my camera to school today so I took take a picture. I turned it on, got ready to set it up, and all of a sudden the display reads "Change the Batteries." Next thing I know, it turned off. So here is my after school picture

The first day of the Blazer Project is going well. I feel professional, but young and "funky" at the same time. And the blazer helps keep me warm, which is nice.

The Week of the Blazer

I've decided I need themes. I have such a hard time building outfits, so that when I find something I like I tend to wear it once a week. I hate that. I thought that perhaps using a theme as a guideline each week might help me to build outfits.

This week is the week of the blazer, or jacket, or cute little coat, or whatever you'd like to call it. Next week will be The Week of the Green Shoes. It's kind of like the Chinese calendar, with the year of the rat and all that, only different.

I've got everything picked out, ironed and hung up for tomorrow and Wednesday. Tomorrow night I'll figure out Thursday and Friday (any idea on how to dress up my school spirit t-shirt? No? Me either).

Oh, and no blazer today. Well, I suppose you could count my rain coat...

Yes, I've been on hiatus

Several people have commented that I haven't posted pictures in a while. You're right. I've never been much of a morning person, and with my thyroid being so out of whack I'm really not a morning person these days. I used to take the pictures after school, but I can't do that anymore because I go to softball practice right after school, at which point I change into my favorite outfit of navy blue sweatpants, a gray or white t-shirt, and about 5 million layers of sweatshirts and rain gear.

I am going to try to get up earlier and take the pictures in the morning. If that doesn't work, I may even resort to taking the camera to school. If that doesn't work, I'll take pictures of a week's worth of outfits when I pick them out on Sunday! But by golly, I will get this thing figured out.

That, as my friend Jen would say, is all.
