21 Day Challenge: Day 20

Day 20
    Wear your Sunday shoes

The end is almost here! I cannot believe how quickly 21 days go by.

So for this challenge we are supposed to wear our Sunday shoes, i.e. wear your "nice" shoes on a day that's not for going to church, etc.

I've said it before but I just hate wearing heels or any type of high shoes. I feel like a giant in them and I'm not even that tall. 5'7 last time I went to the doctor and that was with an inch decrease! {I'm shrinking and I'm only in my 20s!} This definitely doesn't mean that I think all  tall people look like giants in heels, because I really don't, I just feel weird in them. My good friend Alexis is a model {she was on Project Runway!} and she is so tall and can rock heels better than anyone I know! I actually own a lot of heels and "nice" shoes, but they hardly get any wear time.

I decided to go with pair of wedges that I bought on a whim a couple years back. Every time I go through my closet to make a donate pile, I always save these puppies because I tell myself that I'll wear them more.
That never happens, but it's the thought that counts, right?

 Shirt & Cardigan- F21*

Capris- Old Navy
Shoes- Marshall's

*This sweater is a small! As a rule of thumb I always try on everything at F21 because their sizes are ridiculous. 

On a full disclosure notice, I'm going to Ikea today and will be taking a pair of flats because let's face it,
when trekking it through a giant store, one must wear sensible shoes.  :o)

Also, today is the first Texas Tech game {Wreck 'em Tech!!} so I'll also be sporting a Red Raiders T-shirt later on.  I LOVE college football time!

Tomorrow is the last day of the Challenge! I've loved seeing every one's looks.
Kayla has done an amazing job. Don't you agree?

 Also, Amy wanted to see my Anthro necklace that I wrote about here  I mentioned that I couldn't find anything to wear with, so here's the picture of it.

It has 4 flowers and each has a little rhinestone in the middle. I bought the black/grey combo because I figured it would go with a lot, but then the 2 outermost flowers are a weird shade of grey. Also, I sort of feel like a clown with a ruffled collar when I wear it. {it's also kind of "smushed" from being packed away}

Blah, I just don't know.

21 Day Challenge: Day 19

Day 19:
  Adorn your head


I tried.
Honestly, I did.

You see, I wear headbands all the time. They're my thing. In fact, I bought a headband that I loved at Target and when my dog got that headband and ate it, I went and bought another one. And when she managed to get that one, I went back and bought another one. And when she ate that one too, I went back one more time and got another. And when she got that one too, I went one more time to Target and bought the same headband AGAIN. And this time....I always remember to put it away and never leave it low enough where she can reach it. Only took me 4 times to take action, but the point is that I love headbands.

So, I tried to do something different.
But you see, all my hats are winter hats.
Perhaps a scarf?
Oh I really wanted the scarf thing to work for me. Have you seen how cute people look with scarves on their head? I bought a scarf and anxiously tried various ways to tie it and alas, I look ghetto/I should be cleaning your house whilst wearing a scarf. Trust me on this one, the scarf thing was just not happening. I guess I just have to file it away under the "Cannot Wear" category. What else is in that category? Hoop earrings. Just can't do them. I look like a chola or for those of you who are unfamiliar with Mexican slang, I look like a Mexican gangsters girlfriend and that's just not my "thang." And in case you're thinking that I must be over exaggerating, I told my Mom this once and she thought I was ridiculous. So I put on hoop earrings and showed her...needless to say her silence was all the affirmation that I needed.

So the headband it was.
This one I bought at Forever 21 and it actually came with a little veil piece too, but I just couldn't rock that. I cut that piece off and now I have a ridiculously huge flower headband that I love.

Headband- F21; Shirt- Maurices

*The Hubs took the picture on the right last night because I wanted to get a good profile pic, that's why I'm not wearing the blue top in that picture.

And because I'm lucky enough to see this everyday, I thought I'd share the wealth.
This is what I get to look down to after he wakes up.
I love that he's so happy to see me.
Every single time.
Heaven.

21 Day Challenge: Day 18

Day 18
  Statement Jewelry


I have this one necklace from Anthropologie that I just love to death, but I can't quite figure out what to wear it with. So I thought this challenge would be perfect to finally whip it out. {Sigh} Sadly, I have to report that again, I just couldn't find the perfect outfit for it. But, I'll keep trying.

Instead, I decided to wear a necklace that is a knock off of an Anthro necklace that I got at Forever 21. I haven't worn it in a while but I really like it with this dress. I felt a bit fancy hitting up the library and the grocery store but alas, sometimes a small town could use a little fancy.

Maxi Dress- Marshall's
Necklace & Shrug- Forever 21
Shoes- Banana Republic Outlet, Gifted

I can't believe how fast this 21 Day Challenge is going! I've really enjoyed it and I hope Kayla decides to do another one in the Fall or Winter, because it took every ounce of will power not to wear my sweaters, cardigans, coats, and boots for this challenge. I'm not the only one longing for Fall am I? Of course, I have to give y'all full disclosure in saying that this small town I live in, has a HUGE sugar factory where they harvest sugar beets and during the Fall, it is STINKY! So yeah, there's always that to look forward to as well.  And, it's not even an easily describable smell. The Hubs and I keep trying to find the right words to describe it but there just isn't one. So, if you happen to find yourself in Colorado, give me a call and I'll let you smell the musk. 

 

{any takers?}
