Two days in a row with real shoes for at least part of the day!
Yet again I got dressed more days and even left the house more days but no pictures.  I wore yellow on 3/28 so I could be Spring-like to coordinate with Ella.

Outfits March 1-15

3/1

 Ugh I need to take better pics.

3/3

 Ella wanted to be in my picture.

3/4

I wore yellow to sort of coordinate Ella's spring look.

3/7

 I need some skinny jeans that I don't have inches of fabric belted at the top so that they stay up.

3/10

This shirt was a lot looser back when I bought it after Ella. It's almost too loose that I don't like it.  It doesn't look bad in the pics though.

3/12

This shirt is so loose and flowy that if I bend over you just see a huge gap between my skin and shirt. I should probably quit wearing it.

3/14

 I like this shirt a lot but mainly because it matches my hoodies. I have multiple shirts of this style from Target but the other colors don't match my weird hoodies.

I left the house many more times than this but didn't take my picture. But I think this is better than it has been. I miss the ability to use remotes.

4.22

I like this necklace but rarely wear it. it's a little long that it hits my necklines. Or maybe my V-necks should be more plunging. Or maybe I just  need some high neck shirts to have 100% of the necklace be over it.

The last picture shows the one bridge I used to bike and run on. From the road it even looks high. No wonder I was scared.

These are very good. Now I don't normally like chocolate or peanuts but these are good. They remind me of Mario Buns or whatever those things were called in the early 90s.

Poly found a spot to sleep.

11.22

Shirt: Loft, Cardigan: NY&Co, Jeans: Express, Necklace: The Limited
This was my travel all day so be comfy outfit. It was also my "yellow" outfit for Color Rotation.

Before leaving Philly we had to get 1 more cheesesteak.

We picked up Poly from my parents. We didn't have much time to waste because we were trying to have Poly travel in the daylight.  She likes daylight better.  She only had a couple minutes of daylight because stopping for lunch took too long.  Dave and I had some miscommunication and then we ate in instead of getting the food to go so that took an hour of wasted time.  Poly may have been better in the car because Dave got a flashlight app for his phone and stuck that in her cage.

After she got home, she went and hid under the cedar chest. After traveling is the only time she ever hides under there.

8.27 - Steeler Game

I don't have a Steeler Jersey. I also had to dress for the weather and wear something I could wear at a picnic first.

Shirt: Loft
Shorts: Kohl's
Shoes: Target
Necklace: Sears
(2nd necklace that I swapped into at the game was also from Sears)

I ran in the morning and then Poly cuddled with me even before I showered.  She likes me.

I updated my weight graph and continued to be productive.

Then I had to mow. Look at the weeds and grass in the back yard. Some weeds were taller than my knees.

Poly was trying to help us get ready to go.  We went to Sarah and Dave's picnic for 2 hours and then headed to the game. We thought we'd be getting there really early but it wasn't even that early.  We got our food before the game started.  So Heinz Field doesn't accept credit at the food stands but PNC park does. How weird.

The nachos and fries were more expensive than at PNC Park but you got a lot more nachos.  I was still hungry after my first fries/nacho helping so later I had Dave get me more food. I told him to surprise me and he got me more nachos.  The game was pretty interesting. I got cold in what I wore during the second half so I used my Terrible Towel as a little blanket. Too bad I go to games so infrequently that I forget my tips about attire.  We stayed until the end of the game and then walked the 15 minutes back to our car. Traffic wasn't bad to get on 279 so it was all good. I was so exhausted when I got home and I went straight to bed.   I did have a busy day.  Dave wasn't too happy with me that I made him go to a picnic. Oh well. Last year I went to Sarah and Dave's picnic and stayed until midnight so I was a little disappointed about only being able to stay a little bit this year. I need to have a picnic but I fear it will suck and that I'll pick a bad day that nobody can come to anyway.  Maybe I'll have a picnic my birthday weekend.

7.26

 

Shirt: Loft, Skirt: Athleta, Shoes: Famous Footwear-Connie
I wore the same outfit but different shoes and different jewelry. 

My new patio is becoming a good photo location. There is less chance that people will see me take my picture and it's also pretty. 

After work I got jen to run for the first time in 15 years.  She said it was less awful than she thought it would be. Look her face is redder than mine.  

We had the chicken from Monday for dinner with salad. It was good.

6.23 - Picnic

Shirt: Loft
Skirt: Atleta
Shoes: Target
Necklaces from smallest to longest, Sears, Sears, F21

So I put on 3 necklaces and asked Dave which one I should wear, but he thought I was asking if all three looked good and he thought they did so I wore all three.  It was the first time wearing the yellow/silver necklace. One of the hoops was broken. It comes undone. I still wore it the whole day but I guess I have to throw it away now. It mostly stayed together while wearing it, but every now and then I'd look down and see both strands just hanging there. If I was moving around, I would have just lost the necklace. At least I only paid $4.99 for it.

It is hard to tell from the picture but this skirt is more athletic than dressy so I cannot wear dressy shirts with it or it does not look right. The skirt has a little pocket inside like athletic pants do.

This is not what you should look like when leaving a picnic.

So work was extremely busy. Then I had to head to the picnic. I was originally supposed to be out of town, but since I wasn't, I ended up in charge of some stuff. (what else is new) Right before it was time to leave for the picnic, it started raining. It was raining so hard on my drive there that it was rough seeing to drive.

Once there, it only rained for about 5 more minutes which was good. There were picnic tables that weren't under the pavilion and the picnic chair thought of putting the table clothes on the seat so people didn't get soaked. That was good.

NA-YGN had their yearly summer picnic. I was one of 6 people to win a basket. I didn' really want any of them. I don't know how I picked the one I did. I actually wanted a "movie" themed one with candy but I had to save the non-alcoholic ones for the people under 21 who won.

These sunglasses were in the basket I won along with sunless tanner, glow sticks, red bull, and jeugermeister.  Someone had to tell me later that there is a drink with the alcohol and the red bull. Shows what I know. Anyone want to come over and drink it?

The picnic had a cornhole tournament.  We also did an ice breaker game. Lots of prizes were involved.  Because of the heavy rain, the turnout was less than expected, but still good.

Well now to the reason my outfit looked like it did at the end of the night.   I was cleaning up. There was a ton of leftover food due to the lower turnout. We had to-go containers. We were packing them up. I had one with the barbecue chicken in it. Once we were mostly cleaned up, I was walking all my stuff to the car. This may sound easy but I had the basket I won, a big golf umbrella (since it was raining when I arrived), my purse, a bag with different supplies in it, my folder for the ice breaker, and 2 to go containers.  Well when I got to the car, I looked down and the chicken container must have been angled the way I was carrying it and all the sauce was all down the front of me. I didn't feel it since I had a cami on under the shirt. I was originally planning on going back up to finish cleaning up but I didn't want everyone to see me so I hurried out of there. I felt bad about it.  Plus Jen was driving me home since Dave wanted to leave earlier and she didn't plan on staying late to clean up or even staying until the end of the picnic. I knew better than to try to carpool with Dave to get to the thing, but if I didn't, he wouldn't have gone at all. I can never win.

In case you are wondering, I pre-treated the shirt and skirt with Shout spray. Then I did that again. Then I washed it. My clothes are no longer stained.

July 12 is everybodyeverwear day but I'm so behind on posting. I'm about 8 days behind so I just had to go with an old one. I'm sorry I cheated.

DC Day 1 (5/7/11)

Jeans: Express

Shirt: Loft

Jacket: NY&Co

Left Shoes: Famous Footwear

Scarf: Relay for Life

Right Shoes: Brookes

Necklace: Sears

Well today I traveled to DC. A conference starts tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM so I had to get here today.  We tried to get here as early as possible to have sightseeing time.

The rental car place opened at 9 so we were thinking that Mallory would pick it up at 9 and then head out at that time to get to DC at 1:30ish.

There were a few of us carpooling. I was driving to Mallory's and she was getting the rental car and we were leaving from there.  Then Hilary was carpooling with us so I was picking her up on the way.  Therefore I was driving 1:30 prior to getting the rental car. Then it was roughly 4:30 of driving after that.

Well I got to Hilary's at 8:15 (like we planned).   But then we didn't arrive in DC until 4.  A few things caused delays.

The main delay was our rental car getting a flat tire.  It was a big ordeal. Roadside assistance is supposed to be covered. It wasn't. Then the tow truck guy charged even more. We get to expense it to work but still it is the principle of it all.

Once I was settled in my room it was 4:30.  Then we did some figuring and decided to head to Arlington National Cemetery. We went via metro but it was still a ton of walking there.  

Then we took the metro back. I left Mallory and Lauren and I went to Pot Belly's.  They were closed so I walked to a different location that was opened later.  I ate it there (alone!) and was still hungry so I stopped and got some munchkins on the way back.

My feet were so very tired so I took the metro back. Well that still involved walking. That involved being more confused and getting turned around.  I got back at 8:30 and was so tired. As I got back I got a text to go out. I'm too old for that.  I wanted to sleep right away but here it is 11:00 and I'm awaking typing a post and I was doing emails and loading pictures.

While out my low battery light started blinking. It actually started blinking early.  Then my cell battery also almost died.

7:30 is going to come early tomorrow. I bet I'll be more tired than those other people that left at 9 to go out and party. I'm old.

Also I got back to my room and did this to my pants. They weren't my sitting pants and were a bad choice for what to wear for a day I'd be sitting a lot.  I did eventually shower and put on my yoga pants.

How was your Saturday?
