ten.

wearing: shade skirt, h&m black blouse, f21 tights, target heels

what i actually ended up wearing today was slightly different than this (i changed my shoes) and i also ironed my skirt after taking this picture, but here is my outfit for the day. in other news, i've realized i never have time to accessorize. i blame this entirely on the fact that i sleep through my alarm every single day. this outfit could use a belt, funky necklace or a scarf to tie it together, but i ran out of time.

off to watch the olympics with g. he is super obsessed. happy sunday.

nine.

wearing: shade undershirt, urban outfitters blazer, urban outfitters scarf, bdg jeans, brown leather boots

hello. i'm back. and feeling much better, thanks. i didn't get a picture yesterday, but i'll try to be better from here on out. the good news is, i have yet to repeat an outfit...i don't think tops are going to be a problem whatsoever, but next week, i am going to try to wear some of the jeans i never touch.

today was a nice day. we watched the olympics in our pj's and g let me lead him in a little yoga session, which i loved. i succeeded in my goal of making him sore, which was all i really wanted to do. and bless his heart, that man is not flexible, but still very cute while trying to be. he also took me out on a date tonight, which wouldn't be a big deal normally, except that law school stuff has prevented dates for the past few weeks. i was feeling a bit lonely and a date night turned out to be just what i needed. hope you're having a good weekend!

seven & eight.

sorry folks, i don't have a picture for you today. but rest assured, you aren't missing much. my outfit was depressing (think black + grey) much like my day was. going to go cuddle with my husband until this storm cloud over my head blows away.

good morning.

yesterday, these pups were punks and i maybe would have sold jack to the highest bidder after he ruined my life for a solid hour, but somehow, today they are sweet again and when i saw them still in bed at almost 10:00, i couldn't help but photograph their cuteness.

according to toby, waking up is highly overrated & one should stay in bed until at least 6 or 7 pm in order to be fully rested. and jack still wants to be a model. come on kibbles in bits, throw us a bone!

ps. despite the fact that these pups look completely homeless, they just had a bath yesterday. swear.

six.

 wearing: bdg black legging jeans, old navy flannel shirt, red leather boots

so, this outfit is boring & i feel a little dumb even posting it, but this is honestly what i wore today. i wanted to jazz it up and maybe wear a skirt or a dress (instead of this completely typical outfit) but then i woke up and realized that 90% of my day today was going to be spent at the computer doing research for school, so i wasn't about to get all dressed up just to go nowhere. you can forgive me, right?

face-lift.

i've been wanting to jazz up my blog for a while, but unfortunately i don't have the right skills or programs to do it myself. luckily, wonderful jenna is a design guru and happily transformed my little blog for next to nothing.

if your looking for a face-lift of your own, i would definitely recommend her! she probably emailed me 20 proofs today alone and never complained about the billions of changes i had her make.

and seriously...her pricing is unreal. check her out here and thank you jenna!

five.

wearing: brown shirt from forever ago, scarf from forever ago, f21 leather jacket, bdg skinny jeans, jessica simpson ankle boots

it all started when i let my hair air dry after my shower this morning. 30 minutes later i walked into the bathroom and saw this wavy madness, but decided to not to fix it & instead pretend to be rockstar for the day! cue my brown leather jacket & sky high ankle boots (that i never, ever wear) and i think i played the part quite well.

four. {my go-to outfit}

 wearing: bdg black skinny jeans, steve madden brown boots, striped f21 sweater

i wasn't able to get a good picture outside today. normally, g takes them & by the time he got home from work it was already dark, but i snapped this in the mirror before i left earlier, so i guess it will have to do.

i consider this my typical go-to outfit, which always consists of comfortable skinny jeans, a big sweater, warm socks and boots. have you noticed yet that i'm obsessed with boots? partly, i love the way they look, but also i refuse to have cold feet in the winter, so flats or high heels (that can't be worn with smart wool socks!) just wont do. i realize this makes things boring for you, though, so i will try to be more creative tomorrow & switch it up, since that's really the point of this challenge.

what does your go-to outfit consist of? maybe you can help me make mine less boring? i'd love to hear!

crooked grin.

lately, i've been missing g.

sure, he's around. sure, we live in the same house & he doesn't travel or work 20 hour days for a living, but sometimes he isn't able to be "home" when he's home. between working 50-60 hours per week and preparing law school applications & essays on the side, i don't think he's ever had so much on his plate.

in contrast, this semester has been one of the best & easiest that i've ever dealt with and i don't think i've ever had less on my plate, which leaves me wanting to spend every free moment with him & him not really having any free moments to give.

i was thinking about all of this today as i drove home from a blissful dentist appointment (seriously, it was blissful. i love my dentist visits & if you think i'm crazy, i'll be happy to tell you why) with a half numb mouth and nose. after getting a cavity filled (my first in 5 years!), i didn't yet have the ability to rub my lips together and looked ridiculous when i tried to smile or laugh. just as i exited the freeway, g called to ask how it went and when he realized that i was about to pass his office, he told me to come by for a quick visit.

naturally, i refused to come inside, so he ran out to the parking lot in his business attire, instead. for the next five minutes, he sat inside my sunny car & proceeded to make me smile and laugh from embarrasment about the way i looked, which completely reminded me of the first time we ever spoke. we were sitting in my old jetta, smiling & laughing like giddy fools who were about to fall in love. and now, here i was, almost 4 years later, embarrassed because i looked like an idiot with a crooked grin, but not able to stop smiling none the less.

moments like these are truly what make the hard days completely worth it and i love when i am reminded that regardless of what stresses we are faced with in the future, i have no doubt that we will still find a way to make each other laugh.

three.

wearing: max studio dress, urban outfitters belt, black tights, steve madden boots

three consecutive days of picture taking...look at that! i didn't think i would be so diligent, but taking a picture before we head out has been surprisingly easy. nothing special about this ensemble, i slept in (as usual) and had about 15 minutes to get ready. for those of you who were hoping i could provide you with fabulous, creative outfits everyday, i'm sure your beginning to see that i'm pretty predictable.

i'm off to enjoy the rest of my sunday. going to watch julie & julia (again) before i have to return it to redbox. and to those of you who couldn't care less, i promise you clothes is not the only thing i will blog about for the next 30 days.
