And then they 8.

If my face appears particularly glowy I can thank my monthly facial I get at the City Gospel Mission downtown. The first Tuesday of every month Clint and I have the privilege of volunteering with others from our church as we serve dinner to the homeless. Standing over the water-heated-serving-dishes (technical term) my face and upper body get quite the spa-like treatment. It's always a mad rush to get home from work and downtown by dinner time, so apologies for the inside, dark outside pictures.

This outfit was inspired by Sydney, only with finer stripes on the shirt and a far less fitted sweater.

Wisdom for you Wednesday:
Don't ask someone's opinion when what you really want is their compliment.

7 is my favorite number.

Scarf - Maurices
Shirt - Target
Vest - American Eagle (Thrifted)
Pants - Abercrombie & Fitch (Thrifted)
Shoes - Converse One Star (Target)

I probably should have retired these pants years ago, along with the jean vest. But I fought for these pants, and they're the most comfortable pants I own. So no, I will continue to wear them. Like it or not. It was gross out tonight, hence the wet pant legs and indoor pictures. 

Remixers! We've made it through a week! I'd love to hear your favorites. I've highlighted the ones I felt worked best.

Pick 6

The NFL would probably cringe at the idea of a football term being used on a fashion blog, but I only know a few, and how fitting that it contained the number that corresponds with the 30 for 30 remix day!

I think I tried on four outfits before finally landing on this ensemble. That's pretty sad considering I have just thirty pieces to choose from and I ended with this simple number. But the reality is this, while my initial combinations were probably much more edgy and adventurous, Clint approved of this one. I'm pretty sure he'd like a 30 for 30 compiled of well-fitting jeans and solid color tees. Maybe next time.

I chocked one up for the Awesome and Awkward list by capturing these photos in the presence of my in-laws. Unaware of my blog, I gave them yet another reason to pray for their dear son who married me.

As for the Superbowl game. I really enjoyed to food.

Apologies for the cheesy title. It's Saturday and I'm tired and I've had a really fun weekend. But first. That's a Mickey Mouse tee...in case you didn't notice. And it's amazing. I wish you could feel how soft it is. I'm so glad I put it in my 30 for 30. I would wear it every day, but it's a pretty recognizable item, so you might find me gross, and I don't want to risk that. I bought this gem with my little sister I love that she still wants to match me.

I enjoyed Friday with my Aunt and found a few treasures at Half Price Books for $2! Clint and I spent Friday night with friends, which is a rare (sadly) but much enjoyed experience. Pasta and Cold Stone. Not together of course. eww. But separate...my mouth is watering just reminiscing. We woke up this morning and took the first steps toward finding a home! I'm definitely not a numbers person but I have a good credit score, so that's happy, right? :) Celebrated at my sister-in-law's baby shower. Baby clothes are addictively cute. I almost bought out H&M kids and Pottery Barn Kids. Not good for maintaining that credit score... Oh, and a nap, I took a glorious nap.

As for my riveting Saturday night plans. A glass of V8 Splash, thermal pajamas, fuzzy socks and my husband sitting, molding the futon to our bums as we watch old episodes of Kitchen Nightmares. Please don't be too jealous.

Awkward:

     -That feeling in the pit of your stomach when you hit the send button and can't remember if you replied all.

     - People slurping...anything....soup, tea, coffee...someone please turn the music up.

Awesome:

     - V8 splash. Healthy and scrumptious. Brilliant.

     - House hunting. Opens an entirely new world of day dreaming. Today I decided what colors I would use in the living room, master, study and kitchen.

Admittedly this is a weak attempt at an awkward and awesome Thursday, but you've gotta start somewhere...right?

I'm no mathematician, but I think I'm one tenth of the way through this challenge. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. :)

Two by two

Invisible fuzzies are the devil. You know the ones that get in your eye and make it nearly impossible to concentrate on your work but when you pull out a mirror to find them you can’t see a darn thing? But you can feel them! So frustrating.

The date is 2.2 and here is outfit #2 and I’m wearing 2 shirts and 2 pair of tights. Why two pair of tights? I’m tired of grabbing shear tights when I want opaque ones. Solution? Add a dark second pair underneath. So there you have it.

It's freezing outside.

I'll take a number one, just mustard please.

Today I

            ...got shampoo in my eyes. Pantene is not tearfree (fyi).

            ...applied more mascara in and around my eyes than on my actual lashes.

            ...wore my bathing suit to work and then realized I don't even live remotely south.

Ok. So the last one isn’t true, but seriously. It’s not even fair to see bare arms and ankles on some of you ladies. I can hardly stand to expose my fingers! The one redeeming factor of living in a place that actually has a winter is the aftermath of a good ice storm. It is good for pictures and pretty much the only attractive feature of winter as far as I am concerned. God is working on His ice palace right now and achieving this beautiful masterpiece means inside pictures once again. Would posing on my dryer make me as cute as Sydney? How about my stove? Or maybe my bathroom sink? No, I know. The leather La-Z-Boy. Leather makes everything sexier. Right?...just go with it.
