Time to Travel (Outfit 10)

by //

Today Bob and I talked about our freedom. (Not the kind we have because we live in America, although that is AMAZING.) But the kind we have now. Both working from home, no kids, etc. And we wonder how we can better take advantage of it. When I first quit my job I was aching for a road trip, but we didn’t do it. Why not? I am not sure.

So now we’re talking about all the places we want to go! Fly south for the winter, spend a month or two in Italy eating their yummy food, visiting family, visiting other bloggers :), etc.

Do you have any suggestions? Where are some great places to visit?

Wanna know what we did last night? We went to a minor league baseball game! It was so fun. They had lawn seats, so we brought a couple of blankets and hung out. It was so fun! Really reminded me of the Sandlot for some reason. I guess it’s because I love that movie and have most of it memorized . . . The Beast, Wendy Peffercorn, Big Cheif Chew, the list goes on and on.

Anyway.

Before we left, we walked outside and there was a double full rainbow! Please tell me you’ve heard that video? It’s pretty funny. But, it really was pretty cool. A bunch of our neighbors were out enjoying the view and taking pictures just like we were.

We brought Bella to the game and she made us so many friends! Everyone loves that dog. I tell ya, if you want to strike up conversations with strangers, bring a dog to a baseball game or carry a ukelele through the airport. (I’ll save the ukelele story for another time.)

Day 30 Business Casual

30 for 30 Banner

Not sure why I’m calling this business casual. I wore it to church and I no longer work in an office. Oh well, here it is! My last outfit for the challenge!

JCrew Pants

I got this shirt from Bitten. Do you remember Sarah Jessica Parker’s line? It was so great and so cheap! I got an awesome t-shirt from there that did not like to be washed and lost it’s form rather quickly. But this shirt has lasted me 2 years! I also got an awesome winter coat for $10! I’m sad Steve & Barry’s closed and there is no longer any cheapo Bitten clothes for me to buy.

Here is my new Linkel Designs Ring! Isn’t it great! I’m loving it.

This challenge has been better than I thought it would be. Don’t get me wrong, I had a difficult time coming up with new, unique outfits and didn’t always succeed, but it was so good for me to see how much I had with only 30 pieces! I’m looking forward to doing this again if Kendi does it in the Fall because I’m realizing there are some items in my closet that I actually do like, but don’t ever wear! How tragic! They are made and bought for my wearing, but too often I find myself thinking they’re boring. I definitely appreciate my clothes more and am looking forward to new possibilites with all my clothes from now on!
