September 1-15 Outfits

 I only took my picture 1 time using my tripod and good camera. I miss the days when I took pictures all the time like that.
I wore the same shirt on the 3rd and the 8th. That's becoming one of my favorite shirts.

9-10

 I had on my turquoise shorts

the 9/11 picture is actually a screen  capture of myself right before my dancing video.

August 16-31 Outfits

8/16, 8/19, 8/20, 8/22 (Ella is in 8/20 outfit)

 No repeats in this collage. Yay.

8/23

 I rarely wear these shorts. I need to be braver and wear them more.

8/24, 8/27/ 8/28, 8/30, 8/31

It looks like I wore the same top 2 days in a row but really I am missing a day of my daily picture. 4 different shorts out of 5 pictures. Not bad.

May 1-15 Outfits

May 1 I for a black T-shirt that I wore on May 12. I forgot to get a daily picture. I wore it to the mall with skinny jeans.

5/2

May 2, I used the timer on my phone for my daily picture. I ended up standing pretty far back so I had to crop a bit so they aren't that clear. I'm still impressed I managed something. This shirt is old. I used to love it but now I wish it was 2 inches longer based on where jeans hit. I used to wear it with pencil skirts more and they hit higher. (Old example)

5/5

5/8

I'm wearing my new maxi dress. (I bought it on May 1 at the mall.) Ella is wearing one of here new dresses. I wore red shoes and red accessories to tie in with Ella.

5/9

I bought Ella and I clothes on March 7 so we could match. I got her the skirt and top and me the top. Look at us go. I wore pink shoes because Ella only has dress shoes that are pink.

5/10

Take 2 of coordinating. We only wore the 5/9 outfits for about an hour but we were these all day. The skirt kept falling down on Ella so I put a onesie on her so you couldn't tell!

5/11

 We matched for our run!

5/11

 I think i need to put the tilt pod on my new camera because it won't angle in a way to get a daily picture and propping didn't work so well.

5/12

 I figured why not match another day in a row. I took a black shirt out of my stash to be painted for Ella to wear.

5/12

 It got cold so I eventually changed. Ella probably got dirty for why she changed.

5/13

I dug out an old shirt I hadn't worn for awhile.

5/15

The tank top shot is whenI took some before pictures for Focus T25. I can't believe my sports bra hung out lop sided. It is so distracting in all my pictures.



Again I got dressed other days but didn't get pictures.

9.2

Shorts: Mudd but no idea where I got them or when. Maybe they just appeared on my closet floor
Shoes: Target
Shirt: NY&Co.

What a nice 9/80 day off. I did a lot of laundry. I went to lunch with Dave.   I took a nap.

 I probably did other stuff. I have no idea what I did for dinner or what I did all evening and this was 2 days ago.

Oh I did watch Necessary Roughness and Royal Pains. I stayed up too late watching them all.

Here is the small table and chairs I bought a few weeks ago. I didn't have a picture to post then.  It is small, but it at least seats 4 which was better than what was there that sat 0. :) Now if only it wasn't going to rain everyday so I could invite some people over to use this.

7.21 - Busy Thursday

I had a completed patio so why not take daily photos the first day possible.
Pants: Gap
Shirt: NY&Co
Cardigan: Kohl's
Shoes: Aldo
Necklace: Filene's basement.

I had issues with what to wear with these pants because I kept thinking my red shirt with the white cardigan but I didn't want to be so patriotic.  I settled on a light blue after a lot of staring at my closet.  What do you normally wear with navy pants?


My white shoes are slingbacks and I couldn't handle my pant leg going under my heel so after 10 seconds I changed into my bone shoes. It is the first time I wore white and bone together.

I said there wouldn't be any more surprises but I walked outside and turned around and saw the steps for the first time. They are pretty nice.

After work, I drove home to load up the car for the Stampin' Up party. I had to put a 6 foot table in the car plus all the Stampin' Up supplies for the party. It was about 98 degrees so I was all sweaty from doing this. Then I drove to Mel's and we had to unload it all. It was a workout because it was so hot.  I do not like the heat.  Then Mel's house was warm and she kept complaining about the A/C not working properly.   We were standing around talking for awhile and at one point, I stepped backwards and my foot went into the vent cover like it has done at home before.  I had to take the grate out of the floor just to get my shoe out. That added a little excitement.
Then there were 9 people plus me for the party.  I thought there would have been 12 but someone had to leave early and left before we even got started making cards. Then someone else got stuck at work late.  Don't you hate it when work gets in the way?

1 of the 3 cards everyone made

I think the party was a success in that everyone handled making the cards and everyone seemed to have fun.
By the time the party was over, I had to load up the car. This time I also had a 4ft table and 4 folding chairs to load in the car. It was far too hot and I was all sweaty after this.  I got home and then had to unload it all. That was also not fun.  I then showered.  I went to bed slightly after.
It was a busy day.  It was about 11pm by the time I got the car unloaded.

6.30 - Work + Run

Cardigan: Kohl's
Shirt: NY&Co
Belt: Target
Skirt: Express
Shoes: Famous Footwear
Necklace: Filene's Basement

I haven't worn this skirt in ages which is why I chose it in the Style the Scavenged Seven.

Just look at my face in all of these. And these were the best 5 shots out of 20.

After work, I went to North Park to run. Part of the road is gone. It fell over the hill. I wonder how long until it is fixed.

I went to run with Jen after work. She isn't a runner and is just getting into it and it was hot so we knew we would have walk breaks and we'd plan for them.  We ran 1.92 and then there was a water fountain. We walked after that. We were going to walk on nice round numbers but we messed that up.  I'd say our times weren't too bad. We also did a lot of talking. We cut off a portion of the loop which is why it is 4.5 not 5.

Note I didn't finish self checking my data so some addition or looking at the Garmin file may have been wrong. It was harder due to the transitions between walking and running not being at convenient times.

5.20 - Breakfast, Drive, Rehearsal, 2 dinners

Outfit 1: To work for a breakfast

Skirt: F21

Shirt: NY&Co.

Blazer: Sears

Belt: Target

Necklace: Sears

Earrings: Target

The blue earrings are the same shade as the shirt. I'm not sure if you can tell in the picture.

I had probably a dozen better ideas of what to wear but then something was dirty or I thought it would be too tight since I gained a little weight.

Outfit 2: Driving to Philly but also ended up being wedding rehearsal outfit

Jeans: Indi

Shirt: NY&Co

Jacket: NY&Co

Shoes: Kohl's

Necklace: Sears

Earrings: Target

These jeans were a lot more comfortable than the jeans I bought ages ago. I think because I was already getting fatter when I got these.  The sandals have 4+ inch heels. They are the first sandals I bought and wore. They are still out of my comfort zone and are already almost a year old. (See them better here.)

Poly cuddled with me in the morning so I got started getting ready a little late.

I got up and Dave was still sleeping. Look how cute Poly was.

Then after my shower, Poly wanted in.  She loves the shower.

I went to work for the breakfast. It was the recognition for the WIN scholarship Winner. There were 16 total in attendance.  As soon as I got home, we grabbed last minute things and were on the road.

We were making a pit stop on the way so my mom could cat-sit Poly.  Poly doesn't mind  the car as much during the daylight.  Dave sat in the backseat with her.  BTW this is a dog cage. The cat ones were too little and she didn't like them.  We always leave the cage out in the living room. We caught her napping in it once or twice. Sometimes she also naps on top of it. She actually does that often. We leave it out so she doesn't see it and hate it when we do have to go somewhere. Inside the cage is an afghan and a towel so she has a nice soft surface to sleep on.

We got to my parents and Poly made herself right at home.  We stayed there talking a little bit and then realized we might be late if we didn't get a move on it.  Also I always forget to take into account that I like to stop at every rest stop to take a little nap.

I knew we were running behind so I only stopped at 2 stops.  We also didn't make a final stop close to Philly where Dave would drive. I hate driving near there.  We arrived at the rehearsal at 4:58.  It was supposed to start at 5. Also I originally thought we'd go to the hotel first before going to the rehearsal.  We hit a ton of traffic near Philly and that sucked.

The officiant arrived at 5:34 so I guess it was like we were early.

After the rehearsal, we all went to dinner at some random place near Tyler Arboretum.  While there I was talking to Dave about where our 2nd dinner would be.

We ended up getting Wawa for 2nd dinner.  I got an italian hoagie and Dave got 2 hoagies.  This was the start of me gaining 2 lbs while in Philly.   Man was I exhausted.  I don't like all that driving.

4.29

I like this shirt. It isn't smooth in the front so it hides my gut from pigging out on zebra cakes while I'm not running.

It was my 9/80 Friday off so I got to wear some casual clothes. I wore them after getting pack from my 2 hour PT appointment though.

I ate Frosted Flakes based on reading an article that Brie posted about on Twitter (because she disliked it)
