Bad At Packing

by //

So for the next 2 weeks, Bob and I are housesitting. We packed up Bella (our puppy) and drove across town to his parents house. They also have a puppy. I don’t have kids, so I don’t know how it works with kids, but these puppies act like crazy dogs! They don’t listen. They won’t go to the bathroom. They won’t eat. All they want to do is play. It’s totally driving me nuts and I have no idea how to do it all. And this is just with dogs! What they heck am I going to do when I have kids!? Do they do the same thing?

Yeah, and the packing thing was ridiculous. I thought it’d be so easy because I can only wear 30 items. WRONG! 3o items is a lot for a 2 weeks Then, I packed all my accessories (belts, scarfs, jewelry, etc) and I ended up having like 4 bags! Bob was asking me what I had brought and even though I wanted to agree I didn’t want him to have the satisfaction of being right. So I reminded him it’s my job to wear a different outfit everyday.

Here’s #1:

H&M Jacket

Forever 21 Pearls

Steve Madden Boots

The Limited Belt

Jacket: H&M
Dress: Local Boutique
Pearls: F21
Belt: The Limited
Best Jeggings Ever: American Eagle
Boots: Steve Madden

What To Wear: 30/30 Challenge

by //

OK, here is the plan for the 30/30 challenge (details here). I got really organized this time and actually wrote out 30 outfits. This is unlike me. I’d rather fly by the seat of my pants, but last time I felt I was losing momentum and needed a little help, so this time I decided to just make a little cheat sheet. I think I’m only going to use it if I’m desperate.

I really don’t like wearing the same outfit more than once (not sure why) so I think after making this list it’ll force me to be even more creative because I’ve already “worn” a lot of these outfits in my mind and want to move on. Ha ha! Hopefully the creative juices will flow freely. Or I’ll just resort to the list.

Oh, and I’m waiting on 2 items to come in the mail that will be added to these 28 items.
