With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied

These pictures really do not do it justice. It starts out all crazy sticky uppy and ends up flat, but sort of winged out to the side. In short:AWESOME! I really need to get some better pictures next time it happens. If there ever is a repeat.

So now that 30 for 30 is over, I haven't been posting everyday. Which now feels strange and foreign. But true to myself, I did wear t-shirts and jeans for about the first 3 days after finishing. And went shopping at Charlotte Russe to break the band. Got 4 items of clothing for <$20 during their Haul Sale. You should check it out. I've been very pleased with their clothes every time I shop there. Cute, good quality for the prices you pay. And their pants fit very true to size. Not much stretch at all, so they stay up! And if you've been reading you know I've had trouble with that lately. Here's some examples of the fantastic clothes I bought there the other day.



Cardigan: AE 2009 ($10); Top: Charlotte Russe 2010 ($5); Pants: CORDS! Charlotte Russe 2010 ($5); Shoes: Toms 2010 ($25); Necklace: Gift 2006. Less that $50 for an outfit. I'm pretty proud.

With only 5 days until christmas, are you ready? Yeah, me neither. Good luck! And have a Happy Holiday if I don't see you before then.

Tribute to Marriage

I love my life. I know marriage is sacred and wonderful. My friend did a wonderful tribute here. Go check it out. Show your love and support.

End of it all

Picasa's not my favorite tool, but its the easiest to use.


The 30 wasn't completely successful, but it was fun to do. My favorites are #1, 8, 11, 14, 18, and 29. I know I said 29 isn't really my style, but in theory and picture its one of the prettiest. Which ones are your favorites?

That's the end...

Day 30: December 14th, 2010


Top: Gap 2007; Pants: ON 2010; Shoes: ON 2005 (Keeping it all in the family)

And there ain't no more! 30 is over and done! The first thing I'm going to wear is a t-shirt and jeans. That is if my jeans decide they want to fit. I just bought these a few weeks ago in the next size down (I know, you're not supposed to shop during. But I figured buying the same thing, but in a size that fit didn't count) and they're already driving me crazy and I hate having to pull up my pants every 2 minutes. I was never a girl who worried or noticed. They always seemed to fit before, so the stretch of Old Navy, Gap jeans was never a problem. But now I hate it! I just want to buy pants that fit when I buy them and continue to. I know the stretch is convenient sometimes, but I don't want to have to wash my pants everyday. Does anyone know of any good jeans that don't stretch or at least as much as my current ones do?

2 more done

And only one more to go! There's a lot of pressure to do REALLY well on my last outfit. It would be funny just to pile everything on, but that's not really possible. Maybe I should just try for as many as I possibly can. Go out with a bang. I'm excited to get to the rest of the clothes in my closet. Like I said the other day, just really keep track of what I'm wearing from now on. Try and dress it up a little. Even if I'm just wearing t-shirts and jeans. Which is honestly my favorite style as it is. Ellen Page is my style icon. Simple, tomboyish, adorable. My kind of gal.



Anyway. Here's what I've worn the last 2 days.
Day 28:Sunday, December 12th, 2010


Cardigan: Wet Seal 2009; Top: Target 2010; Pants: ON 2010; Socks: Gap 2006; Shoes: ON 2005. I stayed home from church yesterday because Jonah was sick, so no skirts. Too bad.

Day 29:Monday, December 13th, 2010

Top: Thrifted 2010; Sweater: Hand me down; Belt: ON 2010; Pants: ON 2010; Shoes: Target 2008; Earrings: Gift
Today's outfit isn't really my style, but I'm just trying to get done. Right now I'm not super worried about it. Derek and I went a little crazy today while out looking for gifts and such. We bought another Wii controller at Costco, came with a nunchuk and the built in motion plus for only $50. That's $10 less if you were to buy them separately. Went to Savers and Big Lots looking for movies and books for other people, but just came home with stuff for ourselves. Whoops. But it's good stuff.


Left to Right: Brick ($5); 3 Ninjas Kick Back ($3 for Derek's threadless secret santa); Shopgirl ($3. I've been trying to get my hands on this from the library, but haven't been able to yet. Guess I won't have to anymore); Buenas Noches Luna ($0.69-for Jonah); Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close ($3); Everything is Illuminated ($3. Wish we had been able to find the movie too) Merry Christmas to us! We're not very good at buying things separately and surprising each other later. But I bought something Derek doesn't even know about yet. So ha.

Boohoo

Jonah is sick. Just some sore throat thing, but we don't want to risk him getting every nursery kid sick, so we're home today. I only have 3 days left so I'll make a point to at least put something on, even if I'm staying home all day. Even just for pictures.

Saturday December 11th, 2010

Top: F21 2010; Undershirt: Shade 2010; Scarf as belt: Thrifted I don't know when; Pants: ON 2010; Shoes: Toms 2010

The inspiration for this outfit came from here. 4th one down, Dec 2nd 2010. But I think it probably works much better when you have a bump to hold it up. Mine kept slipping down all day, which got to be really obnoxious.

I kinda can't wait to wear all the rest of my clothes again, but continue to document the really good stuff. It'll keep me on my toes and help me to really think about what I'm putting on every day. Which will be a really fun challenge. Stoked

Small world!

Tonight was Derek's work Christmas party, so we go. Free food, night out, possibility of winning prizes (cash cards. We didn't win any. Boo). I usually go just expecting to know one or 2 couples, neither of which we're super good friends with, but it's good to see them anyway. When we get there, our friends Scott and Erin have saved us seats next to them, across from another couple we don't even know. We start talking to them, just to say hi, make an acquaintance, and we have a lot in common! And it actually turns out that I was at BYU-I the same time as both of them! We have some of the same friends, were in the same circles and I even have pictures of him from the show where his band played! The world is huge and scary and unknown and there are billions of people in it, but then you just happen to run into someone you know, but also, don't. And one of my other BYU-I friends actually lives right around here too with his wife and family. We go and were bummed not to win any cash money, but gaining friendships is so much better and priceless. And it turns out they like us just as much as we like them because they want to hang out again tomorrow. Which we can't. But it's exciting to know that they're interested. So we'll make sure to get together with them soon.

I wore 2 outfits today. Changed for the christmas party. We'll just call them part A & B.
