February 16-29 Outfits

Not a single one of these was taken purposely for the daily photo with my good camera. At least a few were taken with a timer on the phone to try to get a daily photo.

Sometimes I swore my little baby bump was showing but I tried to hide it in the pictures.  I figured people that knew me would definitely be onto me!

January 16-31 Outfits

 I wear my Randy tee a lot and never get a good outfit pic with it.  I remember taking the workout clothes pictures to post on fb for some reason but have no idea why now. But it shows my pants too so it works for an outfit post.

1/17, 1/18, 1/22, 1/24

Two of the pictures were cropped from group shots and not very good. 1/24 I actually took with my good camera. I'm a real slacker with the good camera.

Look at how cute Ella is!! I had to include a few.

January 1-15 Outfits

January 1, 6, 7

Picasa is giving me so much trouble. After hours of battling I used ipiccy for the first time. (Julie uses ipiccy for all her collages and she makes a lot so I thought I'd give it a try.) The 2nd collage is a screen shot of a collage before it was made.  I can still use picasa to crop. But I didn't see a way to add text in ipiccy so it's not worth it.  I hate how programs I LOVED stopped being supported and just turn to crap. Picasa still works on my laptop fine but I think I have 40 pictures total on there. Sometimes I have been emailing myself pics to make a collage on there.

1/8/16

This sweater was in my container that was in the shed. Sweaters that were too small April 2014.  I wish it was a few inches longer though.

1-10-16

This was photo shoot day. The only picture of me with Ella is here. The photographer didn't provide any. Too bad Ella was still half in PJ's here. Man I really love my hair curled.  I bought this top specifically for the pictures since somehow my dark blue sweater disappeared and I needed to coordinate.

January 9, 11, 13, 15

 I really like my new pink striped top!

January 12

I set the timer and Ella came to pose by me. Then I walked over and set the timer again and she posed more!  The sweater here was also in the sweaters that were too small container.

November 1-15 Outfits

 I wish I took pictures everyday. I always slack off.

I had on boots with the green skinny jeans.  It is sweater weather so I'm breaking out a ton of old sweaters. It'll probably be warm before I get to wear all the ones I own.

2 of the 4 pictures here are screen captures from video. The 4th picture someone else took. I'm slacking!
The actual days I took pictures, I like the outfits!

I just got this sweater. It's a tall. The reviews had some complainers that the sleeves were entirely too long. I thought they'd be perfect for me then. They are. I hope they don't shrink.
I'm really bummed I forget to take my picture so much.  I also should spend a little more effort actually getting dressed.

2.3 - Winchester Mansion

Sweater: Limited, Jeans: JCP, Necklace: Charlotte Russe, Boots: DSW
Purse: JCP, Jacket: Armani Exchange

I woke up early to Dave waking me up telling me the power supply died on Shady. Shady is our computer that we record TV on and that the internet goes through.  We were internet-less for ages. (OK maybe just a few hours.) Stores don't open early enough on a Sunday.  It was a bit awkward to get to the computer because it is in our office which is also where our house guests are sleeping. Also the computer is under a table so it makes it all the more awkward.   I went and bought food to cook breakfast. Dave made hashbrowns, eggs, bacon, and toast. I wanted to show Brie Daily Donuts but we didn't do that. I did debate both but thought that might be too much food.  Brie said I could pick but I felt like she was more excited about a cooked breakfast so I went with that. Plus Daily Donuts is further away so it would have taken more time to walk there. By the time we were done eating we could go to Best Buy to buy a power supply. But we didn't go right away.

We went to the Winchester Mansion and had their tour  It was pretty chilly inside the mansion. It was quite unique. Too bad we couldn't take pictures in the place.  I never really did research on it so I didn't know what to expect.  The stairs to nowhere and the doors to nowhere were interesting. Windows that overlooked other rooms in the house were also cool.  The basement was kind of fun to tour too. Seeing earthquake damage was interesting. (Or seeing a lack of a lot of earthquake damage).    We went to Best Buy on our way home.

Poly was helping fix the computer. She managed to turn off the power strip when she was helping. We didn't want her to do that though.

For dinner we went to Sprouts and bought ingredients.  I bought food for dinner plus a few other things for $30.  We made chicken, cheese burgers, roasted potatoes, and mixed vegetables.  Dave, Brie, and I walked over. Brie also bought $3 wine.  I would have picked chicken or burgers but Dave suggested both so we did both.  I made all 5 lbs of potatoes and think we only ate half.  We had cut up cantaloupe for dessert or maybe for post dinner snack.  Boy does it take me forever to cut a cantaloupe. I hadn't cut one in so long so I was a little rusty.  

We watched the second half of the Super Bowl. We had forgotten about it so by the time Dave remembered it was halftime.   We watched Property Brothers before and after.

Property Brothers is a good show. I set it up to tape so I'd have some shows to watch while I wanted to half nap or something, but then the show ended up so good that I set it up to tape 1 episode a day.  I think everyone was glad I set it up to tape. That show gave us something to talk about. Real shows would have been harder to watch because we would have been at different spots in shows and other shows you can't really talk through.

Necklace: Target, Sweater: Limited, Jeans: JCP, Boots: DSW

I hung out with Poly. I also went shopping. Poly tried to sneak out.

I cooked dinner. I love angel hair. I wish Dave did. I have to make him another type of pasta when I have angel hair. Usually I make him raviolis. They don't have the awesome cheese raviolis here that I liked so now I never want any raviolis.

12.30

Outfit 1: To the mall and dinner
Shirt: Christmas gift, Pants: F21, Boots: Mudd from Famous Footwear, Earrings: Target (I got asked if I was a Steelers fan. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have left the house like that if I wasn't.)

Outfit 2: To Target
Sweater: Limited, Jeans: JCP, Boots: DSW  (I'm in different clothes because I was already in my PJs and then I didn't want to put on the same boots because I didn't want to try biking in heels the first time I bike on streets.)

Poly slept with me in the morning. She gave me quite the look when I attempted to get up. I did climb out of the bed on Dave's side of the bed to try not to disturb her. I got up when Dave woke me up to watch the Steelers.

Dave and I went to the mall and I went shopping. It took us forever to find a spot to park. I was rather intrigued to learn that the top floor of the parking garage connects with the roof of the mall and you park right over different stores. I'm not used to that. Even with that it was almost impossible to find a place to park. I think we spent 20 minutes.

We went to BJ's after shopping. Dave got a salad as an appetizer and I got mozzarella sticks. I let Dave eat one. Then we got our standard pizza but I forgot to take a picture of it. I did take a picture of how I dipped crust in extra sauce to try.

After Dark we went to Target. Dave needed to buy some connector thing. He claimed we had to ride our bikes.  That was an ordeal. We bike slow since we're new. It took us time to get them from our balcony to outside. I think it would have been quicker to walk. Plus when we walk, we can just bolt right across El Camino instead of going down to the corner. Then when we walk, we get to walk mostly on less busy streets. Man was I scared to death. I don't think I'm cut out for a bike.

After we got home, we watched some TV and then I used my computer. Poly was bothering me and bothering me. I put a blanket on the ground and got on the floor and she was loving it and me. She got so comfortable. I'd get back up to go to my computer and she was not happy so I decided it was bedtime. I took her into bed and put her down on it. I was going plugging in my phone and such. I expected her to move but she did not so I slept crunched up then finally squeezed my legs in. She slept that way the entire night. I finally got to stretch out when Dave woke up. I cannot believe she didn't get up.

Shopping - Limited (12/30/12)

Dave and I went to the mall today so he could get a new iPhone.

We went in the Limited and I bought some stuff. We went to Westfield Valley Fair Mall. It is not the closest one but it is a nice mall so that's why we chose that one. It's also packed though and about impossible to find a parking spot.

I bought 3 new sweaters and 2 new pairs of pants. Did you get any good deals recently?

The dress pants are 4L. I used to wear a 0L from there. I have skirts that are 0 and 2 but haven't worn them since I worked.  They were on final clearance for 19.99. Online they are called brown but I thought they were more of a tan.  The material seems like it's slightly stiff so I'm worried they will need to be ironed. But since I'm pretty sure none of my other dress pants will fit anymore, I got them.

• 3-way stretch fabric with subtle heathered texture
• Wide waistband with seaming detail and double belt loops
• Triple hook-and-bar with inner button and zip fly
• Angled front pockets, back buttoned besom pockets
• Inseam: S = 30", R = 33", L = 35"
• Stretch Rayon Blend
• Machine wash. For best results dry clean.
• Import

The green skinny jeans are a 4. They were 24.99 on final sale. Online it says they are forest green. The original price was $74.90

• As seen in Vogue, InStyle & Glamour
• Vibrantly colored stretch denim
• Contoured waist for no-gap fit
• 5-pocket styling
• Ankle length
• 30" Inseam
• Cotton Spandex Blend
• Machine wash.
• Import

The sweaters were all similar. The striped ones were 29.99 and the solid was 24.99. Originally the stripes were $49.90 and solids $39.90. Online the one is labeled as blue and the other red.  Blue I understand but the other striped one I haven't figured out what all those shades are. On the blue one I swear one of the stripes is green just like my pants but the picture online doesn't seem to look like it.  I like these sweaters because you can even put them in the dryer. The blue striped is an XS. The other one is bigger and is a S but I liked it so much I figured I could go with a size larger.

• Soft, lightweight merino blend
• Deep V-neck looks great layered over a cami (sold separately)
• 3/4 length sleeves
• Ribbed trim
• Comes in 3 color combinations
• Merino Acrylic Blend
• Machine wash, gentle cycle.
• Import

Note in the write-up it says 3/4 sleeves. I don't believe that is the case.

After trying on the sweaters, I liked them so much, I went back over to find more in XS. I only found 1 so that's why I bought the bright teal one. 

• As seen in Vogue & InStyle
• Smooth, lightweight pullover knit of our premium merino blend yarn
• Deep V-neck
• Finished with wide ribbed cuffs and hem
• Merino Acrylic Blend
• Machine wash, gentle cycle.
• Import

It baffles me that the long sleeve sweaters look the same but the write-ups are different.  After further examination they are both 50% Merino Wool and 50% Acrylic but the neckline is different. They are both V-necks but the solid has a wider band. The sweaters are very thin but I thought that might be nice for around here. I also thought they'd be good for layering. My purple sweater is thin and I like it.

I took pictures from the dressing room to show Dave but the mall was too crowded so things were too slow so by the time the first picture sent, I was already in line.

Poly was even checking out my new clothes

The line was so long; It was crazy. Only one of the three registers was working. The person two in front of me had a huge return and it was taking forever. I was in line a good 20 minutes for just 3 people. I was seriously debating just putting back my stuff and leaving.
