The Weather's Cool, But I'm Not

Sister Emilia says I should call this post "2 Cool for Christmas." I think I am not the coolest because I forgot to cut that black tag off of the scarf until after these pictures were taken. Also my hair is everywhere!

Also uncool is that I just broke my camera again...so um. We'll see what happens. I'll try to find a way to keep posting something? Maybe not outfits for a while, but something...

Long Time No See, Internet

I kinda disappeared off the internet for a while. Which means I didn't keep my New Years resolution for the whole year. I think maybe that's ok. Nine months was a lot longer than I expected to keep going.  

I also definitely gave up on that 30 for 30 I was doing. Perhaps I will start again in the spring, but almost all of my picks are definitely not weather or temperature appropriate.

SO. Here's a thing I wore a couple weeks back (I would have been back to blogging sooner but I couldn't find my camera cord...). I think maybe I gotta get used to taking pictures of myself again cuz these aren't so great...

[30for30 - 5] Return of the...Something

Hello!

As grumpy as I seem in these pictures, I am very excited to have a functioning camera again.

I decided to try to keep going with my 30 for 30 challenge, although it has gotten quite a bit cooler here than it was when I picked my 30 things. So....we'll see how that goes. Already, I've decided that I'm going to switch out the sandals I had chosen for a pair of boots -- last seen here. Or should I choose these boots? Ahhhh someone choose for me.

'Til next time...

Whoops

Grumpy kitty. I blame her.

Sooo...my camera got broken.
So I gotta put my 30 for 30 on hold for a little while, while we get it fixed. 
I might post this week some time anyway, just not an exciting (jk) new outfit post.

[30for30 - 4] I'm Bad at Post Titles

(yes, theres a newspaper on my porch. shhhhh)

P1014480


P1014479

I liked this a lot in real life. Not as much in these pictures. I say that far too often. Maybe there's something wrong with my eyes?

I was worried about putting this shirt on the 30. I bought it because it was really cheap, and I liked the ikat-y print, but I didn't know if I'd be able to wear it with anything I own. (Dumb move) Sooooo I put it on my 30 to force myself to wear it. What do y'all think?

P1014481

(I think I'm hesitant about it because it has a good deal of orange in it. Maybe it'll make me stop hating that color so much.)

Byebye for now.

[30for30 - 3] Pretty Good News

Here's an underwhelming outfit (I am no good at yellow...)

P1014418

P1014426


Annnnd because I have nothing to talk about in terms of outfit-y stuff, here's my news for the week:

I don't know if I've ever actually said it on here, (because most readers know already, since most readers know me irl) but I have a leeeeeetle job at the art museum here. It has been a summer job/internship/something for the past 4 years, so my contract this year, again, ended at the end of August. But last week they asked me if I wanted to stay til the end of the year! Woohoo, I have something to do with my life (at least for a little while).

See ya tomorrow? I guess?

[30for30 - 2] Unprepared



P1014266


P1014277


P1014270

So uh. I'm worried I didn't think this little challenge thing through enough and that none of the pants I chose go with the tops I chose. Although, apparently, this isn't completely horrible, because I just found this pin (seriously, like two minutes ago). Similar? Maybe?

In other news, Joe's backyard is a park (kinda).

Excuse my face:

[30for30 - 1] I Know How to Sew

I ran out of light so these pictures are poop.

P1014258

P1014199

I've had to re-sew two different buttons on this skirt. That's the only sewing I really know how to do. I feel like I should learn how to do more.
Otherwise, this is, perhaps, a underwhelming start to my 30 for 30.

Guess What

Seriously, guess.
No?
Ok.
I've decided to do a 30 for 30 challenge-o. 
Fun, right? Maybe more for me than for you. 
Or maybe no fun for anybody. We'lllllll seeeeee.
So um. I guess that means I should show you my 30 things, yes? I took these pictures sort of hastily so excuse the lighting and stuff. Pleaseeeee?

OK.

fisticuffs.

I am dumb and used that title for two reasons: because of the super neutral colors involved and the way I feel about the outfit. Perhaps it is just how I look in theses pictures. Perhaps it is the fact that I don't know how to wear cropped pants. But I don't really love this, and I don't really hate it.

I dunno.

Byebye.

Blue-mania

I got a skirt in the mail and then I was like this is barely navy so I will wear that blue shirt I love with it...
 Don't ask where my inspiration comes from.  I'm just a genius. (I'm kidding)
 I think I will not worry about the clothes and just work on my poses.  I wonder if creating new poses is a job...
Don't hate me because I have huge sunglasses.

I'm not a big fan of skinny jeans... or pants in general... but for some reason I enjoy rolling them up into capris like this
And sticking my leg out like a crazy person..

And wearing small amounts of bright colors...

Red lipstick makes me feel silly.  Also it makes me feel like Gwen Stefani.  See below.

Wearing White?


P1013642

P1013671

P1013651

I just realized I wore a white "skirt" (for reals it was a dress) at the beginning of this week. But I got this skirt in the mail last week and really wanted to wear it yesterday so.......good for me I did.
It is really strange to me that I could have worn two (predominantly) white bottoms twice in one week because for the longest time I have been opposed to anything white. But if nothing else, the one thing blogging has done for me is make me feel more comfortable wearing colors that aren't black, blue, green or purple.

Also it rained (and hailed) yesterday and made everything so much less oppressively hot and I am so happy about that. Hooray weather!

Wow. I used the phrase "for the longest time" in this post and now I have this song in my head. You're welcome.
