30 for 30 : Winter edition

A little brainstorming went in to choosing these 30 items. And by a little, I mean this pad of paper sat by our bed for a week so when I woke with a brilliant combination or necessary addition I could jot it down.

Happy remixing!

Up for air

Hi. It's been a while. In case you are worried, I have not joined a nudist community.

In my absence I have done a lot of thinking, and here's what it's amounted to. I would like to spend more of this blog focused on my real passion. Photography. I still love to dapple in fashion, but that's not my niche. If I could convince my husband to be the fashionisto so I could take the photos....no, that'd just be weird. 

That being said, I did sign up for the Winter 30 for 30 challenge hosted by the lovely Kendi Everyday. So here's to a little more fashion and a lot more photography!

I hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday night doing something a bit more exciting than updating their blog as their husband sleeps. :)

Interviewed

Interviewed here on Friday, interviewing for a coaching position tomorrow. Busy week. This scored me a job offer, let's see if I can pull together something equally successful for tomorrow.

I've decided to stop labeling the pictures, if you want to know where something is from, ask. Most of my pieces are fairly basic and therefore, easily located. If in doubt, assume Target. :)

How was your weekend everybody?!

Painfully Obvious

I'm trying to personalize the blog a little bit more. So bear with me as I experiment. (It's like my blog is playing dress up! )

Also new to the blog, our blue wall!

*simply

Do I do the "winter" 30 for 30? I'm pretty sure it was winter in Ohio last time we did it.  

Boots meet Blog, Blog, Boots.

Am I the only one that makes lists just to cross something off? Today's list looks something like this.

Get up

Check Email

Shower

Brush Teeth

Get ready

Eat Breakfast

Go to work

Blog

Laundry

Workout

Dishes

Pick up apartment

Unfortunately the things that remain on the list are the most important and require the most effort. Go figure. I feel so productive though! Maybe this is what my dad meant by living in a fantasy world.

And since you've never seen these boots before.....

I just love the little bit of color on the back. But I'm really tempted to go buy skinny pants in every color so I can wear them daily.

Sunday night update

Cuddled on the couch with husband. Munching on Jelly Bellies. Admiring our freshly painted beautiful blue wall and the gorgeous gowns at the Golden Globe Awards. Fed up with their not so subtle agenda.

This is my "I'm a mad, malnourished model." look.

And this is my "I eat carbs at almost every meal, but
thanks to this waist cinching belt you can hardly tell." look.

Not the most flattering outfit, but it's purple and grey, so I like that part.

I'm working on a little revamp for the blog header (since that's about all I can do without studying some HTML). Something that doesn't scream "I'm 18!". Oh, and guess who called me for an interview. Yup. That lady who immediately judged me as unqualified. Ironic.

Breaching the comfort zone

I usually don't accessorize. This necklace is big. Hence the mild discomfort.

 And these are the shoes I wanted to wear.

To all you professional accessorizers, how did I do? Can I do this necklace with a casual outfit? 

Once I conquer my fear of accessories I plan to tackle the issue I have with wearing skirts. They're so much fun and an easy way to break up my bad habit of color blocking. Why did it take me so long to realize this?!
