[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.

Lalalalalala.

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!

Shirt: ??? (old Target maybe)

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