Corporate Ponytail

Outfit #4

I wish I had something exciting to talk about, but I got nothing. Work and then class tonight. I do have a midterm coming up- that I'm only slightly flipping out over. This will be my first official grad school test! Eek! So, keeping that in mind I decided to dress in a mix of corporate and student this morning. Yes, that is a navy blue skirt with a professional button-down blouse. And yes- that is a ponytail and a face with only mascara on. A little homage to my college days. And please don't mind the skirt that's a little too big and a little frayed, beggars Goodwill shoppers can't be choosers.

Outfit #3

Oh man, it is cold outside! Even my cube was freezing cold today at work! Yet Phil promised us Spring soon, so this is my ‘its still winter, yet I have hope’ outfit. Black tuxedo pants, black top, black pumps… and a bright colored cardigan. Baby steps!

Outfit #2

Yes, I am standing in the aisle of an Aldi's. Being a student AND working full time isn't exactly lucrative, surprising I know. Haha- so anyway, this is my second outfit for the 30 for 30! I think at this point I'm going to give up trying to put cute numbers on the pictures. They just look pixelated and awful. I actually love working in Adobe Photoshop, I just have zero time. I'm sorry- I promise much better pictures in the future! (Maybe I'll get an awesome camera for my birthday come April *wink wink*). Oh! And this will be my first entry to Everybody Everywear. This blogging thing is kinda fun after all!

Outfit #1

Saturday morning. I woke up at my annoyingly normal 7:00 am, and then blissfully fell back asleep until 11. It was so nice. Steve and I decided to go down the street for some breakfast, which turned out to be just iced coffee, since we missed the cut off for breakfast. Oh well. The rest of the day involved us perusing around town getting curtains and paint for our bedroom renovation. A relaxing and fun Saturday!

30 for 30 picks

Finally! My 30 for 30 picks! I'm just going to put it out there: I'm boring. Yes, I said it. And no, I'm not talking about my life (I sometimes wish that were a little more boring) instead, I'm talking about my wardrobe. Perhaps I'm a little more colorful in the summer, but when there is any amount of snow on the ground, I bust out layers of grays and blacks.

I didn't count my cat as one of my 30... cats are accessories, right?

Lost Camera

I happened across this blog, Eclectic Owl the other day (this girl is seriously adorable!) which then led me to Kendi Everyday (also very cool). She does this challenge every once in a while called 30 for 30. Basically, you are limited to 30 pieces of clothing in which you must make 30 different outfits. I love this idea! It basically gets you to think outside of the box when putting together ensembles and really helps you take full advantage of the many possibilities your closet has to offer! I'm definitely doing it! I might not be very good at it... but it'll be fun anyway!

Herein lies the problem... I lost my camera this past weekend. Somewhere between Hofbrauhaus and the parking garage. Luckily I had all my pictures uploaded on my computer (except for that night of course, hence why I only have drunken ridiculous pictures from a friend), but I'm still super bummed about it. It was a Cannon Power Shot- about 4 years old, so nothing special- but I was in love. And now I feel naked. So anyway, here's a cell phone shot of me at Dave and Buster's. Hopefully I'll be buying a new camera this weekend or finding a used on on ebay so I can start on the challenge soon!

Haufbrau haus

This Saturday we went to Hofbrauhaus to celebrate my friend’s graduation from the Military! We got there a little early so we could have some dinner. Dinner there is very good, if you like authentic German cuisine. Of course, we ended up waiting over an hour for a seat, so I was pretty saturated by the time we actually got our food. I think I got some sort of bratwurst? Afterwards, we stood up on the benches and danced to the German band!
