I'm feeling a little "Meh" about this outfit. I was going to wear this tee with jeans, but I wasn't feeling the proportions and the shirt fits funny - fine on top, baggy in the waist, tight on my hips - and it was just too boring. Blah, blah, blah. So I pulled this skirt back out and wore pretty much the same thing I wore last Monday.
I might not be diggin' the whole look, but I do like the bow in the back, there, and the stripes on stripes are at least a little interesting....
Y'all, it's bad when you're a little bored with your 30x30 pieces this early in the game, isn't it? I mean, it could get really, really bad by outfit #22. I kind of wished I'd picked a few more funky pieces and fewer underused items. There's a reason why they're underused, right? Live and learn, I guess.
I went through about three outfits before settling on this. Hopefully tomorrow will be better for both my decisiveness and my hair.
(Yes, those are Twilight Saga books in the background - don't judge; I needed brain candy in grad school....)
Oh! I got a shout out yesterday from Shey of Modesty is Pretty and when I went over to her blog today, what is she wearing but a striped shirt and a full denim skirt! Maybe I'm already feeling better about today's outfit.
In honor of that, I will participate in her five facts:
1. In the past twelve months I have had four different addresses. That's a lot of moving.
2. I have lived in four countries, if you count Puerto Rico as a country, and I often do. On a related note, I have a serious case of wanderlust. I blame my father's military career for this love of travel.
3. I never leave home without a photo ID on me, in case I die. Morbid? Perhaps. Practical? Yes.
4. I am ridiculously afraid of and disgusted by worms. Snakes? Meh. Worms? Ugh!
5. My favorite store in the whole wide world is Target. Not even joking. I should be embarrassed by that, but I'm not. I can get pretty much anything I could need or want without having to go to the mall to deal with teenagers (too much like being at work, thanks).
Consider yourselves tagged.
Now, a random picture of Philly:
Love the denim skirt, very cute!

I am already bored with my clothes too. And I've missed a few days being sick. So it's pretty bad. I am in a wanderlusting stage too. It's time to getaway.

@ Daisymay: Thanks! This skirt is becoming a favorite.
ReplyDelete@ Kayla: I'm hoping the boredom will be abated tomorrow - we'll see. As for the wanderlust, we're planning a trip in September, but somehow that's only making things a little worse right now. Hahaha
hahaha I love this post, especially the facts, wow! that is a lot of moving! I've only been to one country (MX) and that's it.
ReplyDeleteI admire you for working hard to wear only those 30 items, for me it has to be something much easier to do a challenge, I guess they's not challenge is they're easy huh? =) ANyways those facts are pretty interesting. =D and you are right great minds think alike ;)
I have this same skirt AND I put it in my remix too! I've worn it twice - I love it.

@ Shey: Thanks! It's been quite challenging, but I guess that's why they call it a challenge. I desperately need to pare down my closet, so this should be a good thing for helping me figure out what stays and what goes.
ReplyDelete@ AJ: I've worn it twice now, too! Love this skirt! It's just too easy to reach for it - I guess part of the challenge will be to wear other things as well.
I like your outfit!! It has a really cute, retro feel to it, yknow? and 4 countries, wow! I've lived in the same place my entire life haha. Oh and I never leave the house without photo ID too but snakes are definitely more UGH than worms :)
