One sexy Thing
Outfit #11
Often times it can difficult to decided on what to wear to work. I mean, everyone wants to look good and be fashionable- but sometimes that doesn’t translate well into the ‘work-appropriate’ category. A while back I read a very good book by Nicole Williams titled “Girl on Top: Your Guide to Turning Dating Rules into Career Success” with a chapter that goes over how you can mix and match your everyday items into business casual wear. The author has a few guidelines, but they basically dumb down to one simplistic rule: wear just one sexy thing. And by sexy- I don’t mean your best cleavage shirt or mini skirt. Haha- no, I’m talking ‘sexy’ in a more conservative and stylish way. Like the belt in today’s outfit for example. The outfit as a whole is pretty conservative, and then there is that edgy black leather belt that really accentuates my waist line. That belt: my one sexy thing. It is flattering, and breaks the outfit into the stylish category, while muted enough to keep it work-appropriate.

Creepy Escort
Outfit #10
Alright- a little update on creepy card guy. As I turned the corner this morning, there he was just standing there- waiting for me. So of course I stopped to talk to him, and then he offered to walk me to work. The most awkward 3 blocks of my life! The whole time I was waiving my left hand around, hoping he would get the *married* hint. He was most certainly hitting on me, and again asked that I call him and he would love to take me to lunch sometime. I was hoping for a networking contact- not a creepy crush! I don’t want to be completely awful to him, but I would like to somehow let him know I’m most very much in love with my husband and 100% NOT interested in creepy card guy. Any ideas?

Creepy Card Guy
Outfit #9
As much as I am not a huge fan of this outfit, apparently creepy older men seem to like it. I was walking to work yesterday morning (I take my pictures at night and post them the next day), just taking my normal route: get off the bus, say hi to the newspaper guy, smile at the older gentleman that I always pass. But wait- why is that older gentleman just standing there on the sidewalk? Seemingly waiting for me. Oh man. As I got closer he smiled and said ‘since we always pass each other, I thought I might as well introduce myself’. We exchanged handshakes and first names and I thought to myself, what a lovely and polite person. Then he gave me his card, and I just assumed he was a salesman. And then he told me to call him, so I assumed he was an insurance salesman. However, as I looked at the card- he is not in sales at all and –get this- he scribbled his cell number on the back. So I have dubbed him ‘creepy card guy’. And no, I’m not planning on calling him.

Awkwardness
Outfit #8
My cat is being such a creep in the background!
Ummm.... not sure what to do next. Oh! I know!
A heart! lol- For V-day!
Hahaha, I'm not sure why I decided to summarize my pictures today. Maybe just because I'm superbly awkward in front of the camera and I wanted to give you all a little insert into what I'm thinking. Steve gets such a kick out of me trying to 'pose'. Oh man, I'm just incredibly awkward. Hopefully it will get better in time. On a side note though: I had a dream last night about my Marketing Midterm. Nope, not nervous at all about it... *inset nervous laughter*

Mini-Confession
Outfit #7
Sunday was the perfect combination of doing absolutely nothing, yet getting a good amount done. Wow, that’s a terrible contradiction. Anyway- we slept in till 11 (so nice!). I then got up with the idea that I should *probably* study for my first Midterm next week. That idea was quickly tossed out the window. Instead, we headed out to the bar for my Father-In-Law’s birthday! And here’s the confession part: we stopped by a Goodwill on the way and I may or may not have bought something… I know I’m not supposed to during the 30 for 30 challenge! But how could I resist the perfect black velvet Express blazer for $5!! The shame. I promise I won’t even look at it until my 30 outfits are done! After a little celebrating, we went out to dinner with my sister and her boyfriend for a little couples’ V-day celebration!
