9.20

Shirt: NY&Co (altered twice)
Tank: Not sure but it was in 2002
Skirt: F21
Shoes: Macy's
Earrings and Necklace: Lia Sophia

This is the shirt that I altered in two different ways. I made it sit better in the hips instead of having wings and then about 6 months later, I made it not so loose in my lower back.

I woke up and was so exhausted. I slept 1.5 more hours than Dave. He's the sick one.  I hoped I was not getting sick.

The work day flew by until 11 then it dragged on until lunch. I had french fries with cheese for lunch.  Then the day flew again.

I went straight from work to run with Kelly.  I got home, showered, started setting up my computer, ate dinner, and then it was already 8:30 pm. I wanted more food, but couldn't figure out what to eat.  Dave and I watched part of The Sing Off and then Dave went to bed.  I was going to go to bed but then I noticed that The Biggest Loser started so I watched that 2 hour episode. Then I went to sleep. It was very hot so it was really hard to fall asleep.

Shirt: NY&Co. - February 2010 (I sewed the hips on this shirt.)
Cami: Express - 2009
Pants: VS - January 2009
Shoes: Famous Footwear - $8.50 - April 2011
Necklace: Lia Sophia

I went to Body Pump for the first time in ages. I went before work so I had to pack my clothes and take them with me. In the shower, I realized I left my button-down shirt in the car. At least I had the cami. I put my hoodie on over the cami and headed to the car. I drove over to building 4 and parked in a spot that people didn't see in my car and then I put it on.

The front and sides of this shirt are awesome but my torso is too short so then it bunches up when it hits my butt. Or my butt is too large so it sticks out.  Still it looks better than the before picture.  I realized a lot of my outfits look awful from the back but I just don't know it so I've started taking pictures so I can see what they look like and perhaps alter the outfit the next time (like I've belted a cardigan the next time I wore it).  Do you ever notice something you like or dislike about an outfit after you look at the outfit photos days later?

I can't leave Poly out of this post.

30 for 30 Winter Edition: Day 7 (February 7) - Stampin' Up Class

I had to wear a blazer today to get a professional picture taken (well retaken).  This time I specifically asked the photographer to take 3 pictures instead of just one. He just took one again. What kind of photographer only takes one. He still didn't email it to me so I haven't seen it yet.
Most of the day I wore the blazer unbuttoned.  I was cold so I left it on all day.
After work I changed into jeans. These aren't my 30 for 30 jeans. I grabbed the wrong ones, but I already had my outfit for today so I'm ok.

Shirt: NY&Co. (I sewed the wings on this shirt. I thought it looked awesome all day but look at the picture from the back. I guess good thing I wore my blazer all day.
Skirt: Express
Boots: Famous Footwear
Tights: Target
Necklace: Gift

Jeans: Express

I really like how this color looks on me. I never realized how much I liked it.
I took the blazer unbuttoned and the jean pictures after work. The pictures turned out a ton better.

After work, there was a Stampin' Up class at my house. There were 9 people including me.  We started a little late and we ate dinner and we were still done in 3.5 hours. I was impressed with us. I also planned a few really simple cards to help us get it done quicker. 

During the Stampin' Up Class, Poly wanted to be the center of attention. Someone even said she wanted to quit making cards and play with Poly. Poly was sleeping on my bag of supplies at one point.  I would try to reach around her and get into my bag and she would hit me.  She stole my card that I was in the process of making. It only had the base and the ribbon on it. She stole it from the ribbon.  I'm so glad everyone who visited liked cats.  Poly also tried to play fetch with us. She kept reaching through the chair to hit the girl beside me. I sometimes sit in that seat and Poly bothers me when I'm there. 

BTW I cheated and wore my $5 Nickel shoes when I put on jeans instead of putting back on my boots and then I stepped wrong going onto my porch and scraped away a bunch of the front of the shoe. The material is gone and it is not just that it could be polished. That is what I get for cheating.

I submitted an overheard thing for Sarah's Overheard Friday. Now just to remember the other crazy stuff I overhear to send her something else this week.

Perhaps rules aren't lame. I thought the gray skirt and black blazer were stupid most of the day. I realized after the fact that I could have worn my floral skirt. That would have been better. sigh.
