Take One Day 5: Tan Boots... A Cheat Day
I feel like I cheated a little bit today. I took the easy route and went with the shoes from yesterday. Just like what I did for Day 2. Originally, I was gonna take the (faux) leather jacket but I didn't anticipate the weather. Today was actually really nice and I felt that wearing a jacket was kind of inappropriate. Today felt like a light sweater day. As usual, I was running late so I took what I felt was the easiest to take from the last outfit: the tan boots.
Take One Day 4: Crocheted Cropped Top
Belated Happy Valentine's day, dear reader! I wish you had a spectacular one! I made sure to tell my students that Valentine's day is a special day for thinking about people you love. Your family, your friends, even yourself. To me, it was also a day of indulgence. I've had one too many sweet treats. Oh, the curse joys of being a preschool teacher!
Here's yesterday's outfit. I made sure to add some red to valentinesify the yellow cropped top from yesterday.
One of my fashion goals when I decided to share outfit posts was to get outside my comfort zone and experiment more with items in my closet. I'm not one to necessarily be adventurous with mixing prints and textures so I was quite pleased with myself for pairing the dots with the crochet pattern with the mixed pattern grandma scarf and the crochet texture with the leather jacket. It all comes together, don't you think?

Take One Day 2: The Brown Boots and A New Favorite FroYo Flavor
This is yesterday's outfit. I took the dirty brown boots from Day 1 and paired it with a long dress shirt and tights.
Sunnies: Eye2Eye (Philippines)
Necklace: DIY
Long Dress Shirt: H&M
Vest: Papaya
Purse: Nine West
Tights: Old
Boots: Body Central
And, yea, My boyfriend took pictures of me in the parking lot.... Of a commercial center...... At 4pm when everybody was out. No shame.
We went to get haircuts! Yay. You'll see my new do in the next post but for now, let me tell you about a new frozen yogurt place we discovered. It's called Menchie's and it's like a happy pink yogurt heaven. They have relatively the same flavors you'll find at Yogiberry but they have Dulce de Leche which is now my new favorite. It tastes just like the Haagen Dazs ice cream! Yum! They have fewer toppings than other yogurt places but they have cool whip! Double yum! I recommend trying it out if you're in the Rockville area!
Stay tuned for today's outfit post!

Starting Over: Take One Pass It On Part 2 Day 1
Is my title confusing enough? Ha. Here's day one of my second attempt at the Take One Challenge. Today feels like a chunky sweater, tights, and boots kind of day. It rained last night which left everything wet and gross and muggy in the morning. Ugh. But it wasn't too cold which was good. I'm tired of the cold. I only like winter when I'm snowboarding and since I haven't done any of that lately...Meh. I'm ready for the spring time.
Also, I'm not gonna lie. I absolutely ADORE this kind of outfits. It's so warm and comfy and has such a relaxed vibe to it. I'm lucky that I work at job where dressing up like this is completely acceptable.
Sweater: Cotton Forever (Thrifted)
Thermal Top: Forever21
Tights: Old
Boots: Body Central
Can you guess what item I'm taking to Day2? See you tomorrow!

The Take One Pass It On Remix Challenge
So, the genius that is Sarah from Sarah's Real Life came up with the Take One, Pass It On Outfit Remix Challenge. I've always thought wardrobe challenges are so much fun and I've been wanting to join in on a few since forever but a lot of them are a little bit too intimidating for a start up blogger (Do you hear me, 30x30 Remix? New Dress A Day (Reconstructed clothing)? You're too intimidating! But I'll take you on one day, I promise, one day.)
So anyway, for this challenge, you dress up for Day 1 like you normally would and then on day 2, you take an item from Day 1 and incorporate it in your Day 2 outfit. On Day 3, you take a different item from Day 2 and then incorporate it in your Day 3 outfit. Then on Day 4... you get the point, right? If you're still confused, my dear friend, read more about it here.
Fun, right? I decided I was gonna do it come February. And like many other things I do, it's a lot easier in the beginning when I'm all motivated and focused and then (insert a thousand excuses here) I stopped on Day 7. I lasted for one whole week. Good enough, right? Yep, I thought so.
BUUUUUUT since I find it to be so interesting, fun and challenging, I'm starting again next week. It's such a good way to help me use all the items in my closet and figure out the stuff that I will never use and therefore need to toss out.
Here, let me show you my Days 1-4. I'll post the rest next week.
