And then disaster struck.

You guys left some awesome feedback yesterday for being better at walking in these wedges. Apparently though, I still haven't had enough practice because right in the middle of taking pictures for this outfit, disaster struck.

I completely busted in the middle of my driveway, and tore up my knee, and these pants. My knee is fine (I'll probably be rocking a band-aid tomorrow) but I'm not sure what to do about the hole in these pants....I'm thinking I'll try and convert them into shorts, but we'll see.

Anyway, I originally meant for this post to be about how awesome my headband is, and how I'm finally figuring out more ways to wear all the scarves that I've accumulated so...just focus on that I guess.

Fried pickles, and newborn giraffes

I just accidentally deleted a post entirely about fried pickles....probably a good thing now that I think about it. Long story short, they're awesome.

Anyway, on to the outfit...for some reason this top reminds me of when they sing beauty school dropout in Grease. Also, these are probably my new favorite shoes but I sort of resemble a newborn giraffe when walking in them. I've never really had trouble with heels before, but somehow these make my center of gravity off...any tips? They're super comfy otherwise, but I just feel like I have to concentrate on not falling way more than usual, which is not so fun.

Thirty Items

I'm only a week late posting these, but better late than never, right? These are the items that I'm going to be using for Kendi's 30 for 30 challenge to make 30 different outfits. (I've already posted my first outfit here.) I still haven't decided if I'm going to put myself on a shopping ban yet as well...although I'm sure my bank account would appreciate if I did.

Anyway, I know the suspense has been killing you:

items

tops

skirts

button-downs

dresses

bottoms

jackets

shoes

Deep in the heart of Texas

IMG_0386

I accidentally fell off the face of the (blogging) world for a few days there...just got back from a spur of the moment second vacation to Austin, TX. It's been a fun past few days but needless to say I'm pretty tired of being in a car. I'm definitely glad to be back though and ready to start pumping out some outfit posts again. (Also, my 30 for 30 items....working on it.)

The color green, and other foreign concepts

1/30 Thrifted top, belt and bag; Target skirt; Payless sandals

First things first: HOLY CRAP LOOK HOW GREEN IT IS IN TENNESSEE. You have to understand, I'm from New Mexico, which most of the time is varying shades of brown. Things like trees everywhere and (gasp!) moisture in the air are kind of foreign concepts to me.

Moving on, this is my first 30 for 30 outfit, but seeing as I'm still on my way back home from vacation, I won't have my 30 items posted until tomorrow or so. Which means I should probably finish figuring out what those items are...

Road Trippin'

Visiting Tennessee for the next 4 or 5 days, so I will see you all next week sometime with my 30 for 30 picks. Also, if you ever go on a road trip with me, just know I'll be wearing a snuggie in the car even if it's 95 degrees outside, and I'll also be eating my weight in junk food.
