February 1-15 Outfits

I don't do so well at taking my daily picture anymore. 

I don't do so well at getting dressed either. Two of these pictures are screen captures from videos I took of myself working out!

 That's my randy top in the 2nd pic. I wear it a lot but never seem to take my pic in it!

I love that new tunic I got and wore on 2/16. I don't think I have worn it since. Wonder where it is!

Starting on Christmas my daily pictures started to suck because my camera stopped working with my remote. At first I thought it was the remote but a new one didn't work either.

November 1-15 Outfits

I got dressed way more times than this. I even left the house on many occasions but I'm slacking at taking pictures.

11/1

Too bad I didn't get a better picture of this shirt. You can see it other times.  It's not the best for nursing because of the belt. It just stayed on a couple hours when we left the house.

11/2

 It's hard to see this picture. It's cropped way down. You can see that one other times, too.

11/4

I have this shirt in a ton of colors but most are scoop neck which don't work well so now I live in this. V-neck + nursing cami is the best. Scoop neck doesn't even work with any nursing bras because they stick out the top for some reason.

11/5

Well here are 3 "outfits" from 1 day. I wanted to take a picture with the hoodie on. Then it got hot so I wore shorts. I took like 30 pictures in the shorts and only 2 were in focus. Oops. These jeans look loose. :)

Again I forgot to take my daily picture. These are pictures that include me and have everyone else cropped out. They are even horrible pictures.  We did onesie painting and people were at my house until 5:30 PM.

11/9

 I had Dave take my daily picture. Ella was there eating. I couldn't just crop her out!

11/12

 I dressed Ella then I thought I could match her. I was going to wear a yellow top but then I decided coordinating yellow + white without us both being the same on top and bottom would be cooler. I'm loving it!  I just wish my tee was longer. You can see my cami many inches underneath it.

I attempted some shoulder pictures. It's hard to manage to take pictures with my remote and handle Ella. She also wanted the remote.

11/15

I wear this sweater all the time too. It's easy to nurse in because it's loose and has a low V-neck.   Pretty soon I won't be worrying about my attire for nursing.

October 1-15 Outfits

I got dressed more times than this but apparently didn't take my picture. I left the house or had friends over so that's how I know I got dressed more.

10/3

Is anyone else getting sick of seeing these nursing tanks?

10/15

Look I'm dressed almost like I used to be!

 I can't believe how few daily pictures I took. Slacking off!

My nursing camis got so stretched out around my belly before so now they are huge under other tops that I can wear.

There aren't many outfits here but the last one would have been a favorite even if I had more.

September 1-10 Outfits

9/1

I branched out and wore shorts that weren't my favorite jean shorts!

9/3

9/4

Dave asked me if these were my mom jeans. I have had them for years. I don't like how they are torn look or whatever but they were the only ones I could find that fit and were the correct length.

9/5

This collage has a white border between the pictures on my computer. The fan is also white. I don't know how it got messed up when it was uploaded.

I thought I looked awesome in this shirt at the beginning of the day. Then with lifting it up to nurse it got all stretched out by the end of the day.

9/6

9/8

 It was chilly!!! I loved being able to wear a sweater.

9/9

I had Ella pick out my clothes. She picked this top. I took it out of the closet and tried to have her pick something else. She reluctantly picked another shirt. Then I held both up for her to pick and she picked this one.  This is a favorite of hers. Then I got compliments on it when I was out. I gave Ella credit.

9/10

I had Ella pick out my clothes again and she picked this. I didn't want to wear it since it's maternity. I tried to hide it but left it on the hanger in the closet and asked her to pick again. She used her hand to go along the clothes and dug this out and picked it again. So I wore it.

I can't wait until it's warm so I can wear pants more. I wore jeans twice above but actually changed out of them before the day was half over.

2.10

 Sweater: Express, Jeans: Limited, Boots: DSW, Necklace: Charlotte Russe

I watched TV. I napped. Dave woke me up wanting to biking somewhere to eat. I was too tired for that. We ended up driving to the place he found to bike to. I was not a big fan. It was similar to Panera in how you order but the food wasn't as good.

I watched some TV with Dave and some TV on my own. Poly was cute.

So I watched the Riches and took a screen shot when the mom was supposed to be on the phone. Do you ever notice on TV shows when they claim they are on the phone, how you can see the screen and they clearly aren't on a call. This screen shot gives an example of that. I notice it on so many shows. Probably every show that I've seen except one. I wish I could think of the time that they did it properly but I can't.

1.14

Sweater: Target, Pants: Limited, Boots: DSW, Necklace: Gifted, Earrings: Target, Purse: Target, Coat: NY&Co  (I heard it was cold so I wore my winter coat so it could get a use but it was too hot.)

I woke up and chilled in bed with Poly on my laptop for almost 2 hours. Then I got up and got dressed and headed to Sprouts.  Sprouts has got to be my favorite store.

Their broccoli price is so high compared to normal that I decided not to make broccoli cheddar soup. I spent a lot at Sprouts compared to normal. I spent 5.54 on chicken, potatoes, broccoli, and an onion. The only time I've spent more is when I buy a loaf of Italian bread and that is 4.99.  I discovered that Sprouts gives out coffee samples. I've been to Sprouts a lot but never pay attention to the coffee. I'm always learning new stuff at Sprouts.

I got home and made a frozen Boston Market Chicken, Broccoli, and Cheese Casserole and added a half lb of broccoli to it. I don't even know how I used to eat it without adding all the broccoli. (Note the broccoli isn't just sitting on top but it's mixed all through but that's just how much I add.) I ended up only eating half of it because Jen called me to see if I wanted to talk to her on the phone while she walked and I ran. I said OK.  We did that and I ran 4 miles.

I got in and started looking at my data. I took a break to do core exercises, foam roller, and stretch.  Poly purrs like crazy and gets all up in my grill when I'm doing ab exercises. Then it was back to the computer looking at data, updating blog posts about my exercising, and researching races. Before I knew it, Dave had left work so I had to start cooking.

I wasn't quite done when he got home. I had probably 20 more minutes. But not bad since he never warned me when he was leaving.  I made roasted potatoes and chicken and then I was about to make some frozen vegetables when I remembered that I had some green beans so I quickly made those. The meal was pretty good. I enjoyed it even more after I added up how much it cost.  (Less than $4 plus ketchup and spices)  While we were eating Poly dragged in her string for us to play with. It was caught on her bag so she dragged that in from the office too.

After dinner, we went to Target. We spent $123 there mostly on groceries. I love sprouts but I can't buy everything there. I didn't buy myself any snacks but it just all adds up quickly.

Update because I forgot to mention: Dave fell off his bike on his way to work.

2.22

On my way to work, I realized I forgot my Garmin. I was supposed to go running with Jen after work. I figured she would have hers and we'd be OK. But then I get to work and see an email from her saying she forgot her Garmin.
Even before the watch issues, I was debating canceling because my hips were hurting pretty bad.

We ended up canceling so then I thought I could go to Body Pump instead.  Well at the end of the work day, I had issues getting done what I had to get done so I didn't go to Body Pump either.  I should have rested anyway.

I didn't get nearly enough done at work that I wanted to.  I kept starting too many things.

I picked up Pizza Hut on my way home from work.  We watched TV as we ate and continued to watch TV the rest of the night.  Dexter is such a good show. I wanted to watch even more.  We missed the debate.  We didn't realize it was on.

I am glad I chose to have a rest day but also a little bummed. I'm not going to make my workout goals for the month. Also, my hips hurt and I just want them to stop.

Outfits

I have 2 skirts that I don't really know what to wear with them.  My mom helped me match some stuff back on October 1 and that's all I know.  I have realized in the morning, I can't tell what is what shade and so I won't test out a new combination.  The lack of natural light is awful.

I tested out some stuff.  It started not being bright enough outside and the lack of flash resulted in some poor quality photos. So some of these outfits looked better in person.  Do you ever try on a bunch of stuff just to figure out what outfits will work or do you wait until you get dressed in the morning?

My mom told me that purple didn't go with this skirt but I like it.  The purple tights are new as of yesterday.

The first time I wore it.

The brown shirt with the ruffles is a shirt I've owned for 5 or 6 years and never wore it. I think it matches but I figure if I didn't wear the shirt in all this time maybe I shouldn't wear it.

I thought the light purple shirt went but not with tights. It'd be more in the summer. It made the pink it the skirt look more purple.

The one long sleeve brown sweater seemed to work. The other one was too loose and too long that it didn't look right.

I think the teal cowl neck looks good but my mom specifically said my teal (same shade) turtle neck didn't go with this.

The blazer doesn't work at all. The socks + tights also doesn't work at all.

I have one sweater to wear with this but can't seem to figure out how to wear it with the skirt in the winter. I've worn the shirt with a black shirt underneath but I'd need a different color to go with this skirt.

I put the outfits in the order I liked them.  It is hard to tell in the photos but in some I have on purple tights and in some I have on brown tights.

The first time I wore it.

Here is the 2nd skirt. This one I did have a few more things to go with it because my mom suggested more. I didn't have the purple shirt in the pictures at the time and never thought of wearing it. I love it.

The first time I wore this skirt I wore it with black and black shoes and thought it went. In the pictures, it doesn't seem to go as much.  I would have been wearing this with black all the time, but my mom said to wear it with brown.

The brown sweater doesn't work.

I still have the cardigan I wore with it the first time, but since I knew that went, I didn't waste my time trying things on.

I need to figure out what else to wear with this too.  I wore it on February 2 with something my mom picked out.

Both of these skirts are slightly big now but knowing how I fluctuate and need things in multiple sizes lying around I'm not too concerned.

I got these new brown pants from VS. I've worn them a few times with pink, but am never too sure what to wear with them.  Would these 4 shirts work?  The only one I'm not sure of is the purple sleeveless one. I think it is too bright to go but Dave said it wasn't.
