Day 1: Thirty Days of Thoughtful Threads

So...I had an epiphany this morning: the first week (maybe two) of this challenge are going to be really boring. Then I'll run out of the things that I normally wear and it will get more interesting. I'm going to try to not let that happen by finding a "new" (aka - not one of the regulars) outfit this week.

Also, I hope my photography skills greatly improve over the next 30 days. But hey, it's day 1. I've now learned that I need an extra 15 minutes in the morning. And that I should have gone with my original intention and picked out my outfits for the week on Sunday. Yesterday was busy though, so maybe I'll do that today.

Day 1:

The whole outfit. Comfy, still workish.

Accessories: Black headband (it's actually the belt off of another shirt that I will never wear belted) I have an ever-changing relationship with headbands. Today, I like them. Bracelet and earrings are both from Charming Charlies. I had a mild anxiety attack the first time I went in there, because it's very overwhelming to a non-accessorizer. I'm slowly getting over that and have located the silver section so I don't have to roam the whole store.

Shoes are from Target - funny story of me not finding what I wanted and avoiding buying these for so long they went on clearance and I got them for less than $10. Shirt is from Kohl's clearance rack (I have a feeling I'll be typing that a lot...) and the capris are from Kohl's. Bought those the day of a friend's wedding rehearsal when I realized that between San Marcos and Kyle the wind picked up way to much for a skirt. Yay Kohl's!


So that's the boring outfit of the day. Promise it will get more interesting.
Long weekend + habit of ignoring my alarm = not much thought today :)

I've never been to Charming Charlies (sp?), but I've heard people talk about it. I think I would find it overwhelming too, although I'd like to go check it out sometime.
