Day 19: Adorn Your Head

 

I have been DYING for an excuse to wear this hat!

I seriously thought I would have to wait to wear it 

until I went to the beach next summer, 

or until I made it to the

  Kentucky Derby! (on my bucket list)

=)

but lucky for me, this challenge came along!

*

Of course Jess and I got out of hand like we always do,

and we did our own little photo shoot

  

As if you can't tell from the pics...we had a blast like always!

  Love you Jess! =)

Day 18: Statement Jewelry

Considering I'm known for my 

obsession with loud/unique jewelry, 

I think I make a statement with my jewelry every day =) 

However, there is a pair of earrings that even 

I haven't been able to bring myself to wear yet...

they are HUGE! 

At least I finally I have an excuse to wear them!

 Once again Jess and I went out on a photo shoot adventure!

Thanks for another fun night Jess =)

Day 17: Repair and Wear

Dress: Kohl's; Cami: Rue 21; Leggings: Forever 21

Belt: Forever 21; Accessories: All over =)

Repair Item: Zipper on Dress

I bought this dress right before 

I went on my fabulous vacation to California. 

I love this dress!

I was so excited to come back and wear it to work, 

so as soon as I got home from Cali

I threw it in the wash.

When I took it out of the wash and hung it to dry, 

I tried zipping the dress up on the hanger...

and the zipper broke. 

I was so mad!

*

As soon as I read the prompt for this challenge 

I knew what I would repair...

Fortunately for me I have a lot of talented friends, 

and my friend Christine said she would help me fix the zipper

...and Voila! 

I have my cute dress back! 

Of course my favorite thing about this dress is 

that I can dress it up with any of my accessories =) 

I love my turquoise pieces, 

and don't have a lot of things to wear them with

...so I was happy to get this dress back into my wardrobe.

 

 Thank you so much for all your help Christine! 

I freaking love you girlfriend =)

 

Day 16: Menswear

Top: Gap; Skirt: ; Tank: DownEast

Tie: Thrifted; Suspenders: Thrifted; Accessories: All over =)

So to say the least life has been crazy/hard
and therefore 
I completely dropped the ball on blogging...

However, I'm picking myself up, dusting myself off,

and getting back to living life!

So here we go =)*
Even though I haven't been posting pics for the challenge, 
I have been taking pics and I did finish the challenge...
so little by little I'll get the pics up =)

 

I could not have had more fun with today's challenge. 

I've always wanted to wear something like this, 

but have never had the guts. 

At first I wasn't going to wear the tie and suspenders to work because I was so self conscious, 

but then I got to thinking...why not? You only live once!

...So I wore them.

It was pretty funny because I had to have one of the guys in my department tie the tie for me-

being single, I didn't know how to do it =)  

The guys were all very opinionated about my outfit 

which I thought was hilarious-they are all so cute!

Kristen and I took the pics outside at work...

and we had a blast! She was making me laugh so freaking hard! 

She is HILARIOUS! 

I actually think I will be rocking a tie again pretty soon...
it definitely added a little sass 
to a safe outfit =)
