Christmas Tree Day (Outfit 19)

by //

Tomorrow is our annual Christmas Tree Day! Every year, Bob’s family gets their Christmas tree. Well, 5 years ago, Bob and I got our first tree, and last year, Bob’s sister and her husband got their first tree. Thankfully Bob’s dad has a giant van and can haul 3 trees to each of our homes. Then, we decorate his parents tree, make dinner (almost always pizza) and cookies, drink hot chocolate, etc. This year, I’m going to talk them all into watching White Christmas which Bob and his sister have never seen! Isn’t that tragic?! I will have better pictures soon of getting the tree and our decorated tree. Maybe even a family picture!

What’s your favorite Christmas movie? When are you putting your tree up?

A Lot Has Happened: Outfits 3-6

by //

I like to pretend we’re best friends that talk everyday and you always know what’s going on in my life. But this past week has been so crazy that we have only gotten to text a couple of times. 🙂 So I’m going to try to catch you up to speed.

I was totally caught off guard with the 75 degree weather we had. I had no clothes for that. Good thing I had these jean cut off shorts included in the challenge!

One of my best friends had to get some stitches last week and I’ve been helping her nurse herself back to health. She hasn’t been able to drive so we’ve been going to get our nails done, hair done, pick out shower gifts, go to the bank and grocery store, etc. It’s been so fun to help her because she is always thinking of others and I really enjoyed making sure she was taken care of. Plus, we got to hang out a lot and I always love that!

I just accepted a job at Anthropologie! Ahhh! I’ve been there a couple of days for meetings and training/orientation. It’s been so fun. I am feeling like such a grown up because most of the girls there are right out of college. One of my boss’ husbands wants to talk to Bob about blogging (because he’s a genius) and another is married to the principle of the school where my husband graduated. I knew marrying him would come in handy! 🙂 So for the first time in my life I feel like I’m making grown up contacts instead of just making friends. Does that make sense?

I have one friend there (who is marrying my sisters brother-in-law!) and I’m so excited to get to work with her. Hopefully we’ll be on the schedule together a lot.

We also threw my sister a baby shower. She’s due January 1 with her second boy. She doesn’t have a name yet. Got any suggestions for her?

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.

Here we go!
