30 for 30: day 12 & day 13

day 12

Day 12, I barely made it out of my pajamas, let alone make it out of my running gear...

"EW"

a la Jimmy Fallon and will.i.am (video HERE).

New favorite saying at our house.

day 13

  

Not my favorite outfit from this challenge. I think both the chambray and the pants are a bit big, and don't flatter my figure very well - I look a bit shapeless I think. However, they say wide-legged trousers are coming back, soooo, good thing I hung on to mine from high school, right?! Right.

Also, thanks to my bestie for taking these sunset-time pictures for me :) I tried to do a creative writing post, I kept coming up short. Womp womp.

30 for 30: day 11

This plum-hued outfit had friends over for drinks & some Cards Against Humanity. The husband and the friends (two friends from high school/college) made it out that evening, but I made it into my bed by 11 (!!!). Cards Against Humanity, wine, and some shots of Rumchata really did me in quite early...oh, and I ran a 5K that morning with some girl friends - I mean, I can't be expected to be an ATHLETE and a late-night party animal, can I?

I'm currently spending time with one of my cousins, and we made plans to go out one night...stay tuned to hear how it went ;)

This top is another favorite. I got it back in August and was so excited to finally get to wear it! It's an olive/gray-ish knit, with a chiffon back that isn't connected on the sides. It's just so different and I don't have anything like it. I was really drawn to it off the bat - the colors, textures, and overall look aren't TOO out there, so it's a great, fun, yet almost neutral, long sleeved top.

Here's the new and better fitting version of my buffalo plaid button-up. I love this shirt so much - I want to wear it

every.

single.

day.

Even wore it to a meeting on a construction site and got complimented on my attire.

I mean, when in Rome...

30 for 30: day 8

Handsome just loves to be outside.
he loves to sit in the sunshine and roll in the grass.

I just love this wrinkley face and funky tongue.
SO.
MUCH.

We've been having some really lovely weather this fall (no snow yet!). I'm starting to see why everyone just loooooves fall. I'm not quite there. Yet...

But you know what I do love? That handsome white bulldog up there :)

30 for 30: day 7

  

I used to think "black and brown make a frown." But, as you can see above, I'm coming around and mixing the two shades together quite freely. I kinda sorta really love how they look together.

30 for 30: day 5 & day 6

day 5

I met my friend, Chelsea (her blog and Instagram here), for an early morning run, and then we went to breakfast. Of course I was excited to run with my friend, but I was also really excited for breakfast afterwards…she and I have started having breakfast together once every other week before work, and it has quickly become something I really look forward to. We try out the cute little breakfast places in town - good conversation over coffee and breakfast (and bacon!) makes getting up early before work totally worth it.

So after breakfast Sunday, I came home, took a nap, lounged around, did some chores, and never made it out of my running clothes…gross. I know. So, no cute outfit to share with you.  

day 6

 

Again with bare legs. I just REALLY want to wear dresses and skirts as much as I can before it’s too cold to go without tights! And on this day, the temperature reached the 70s! But the end of this week is supposed to be in the 50s…Boo. Knowing the weather this month would be all over the place, I chose my items for this challenge thinking of things I could wear by themselves when the weather was nice, and items I could layer when it got chilly, as typically happens in October. I’m glad I didn’t stick to one end of the spectrum more than the other, or I’d be in a world of hurt.

Without the sweater, this dress is very summery. With a sweater, it's more monochromatic and leans a bit more towards fall.
