30 for 30, Day 13 (Part 1): The Outfit Is Coming...

I thought I'd jump on here in between the kitchen cleaning, the term paper writing and the Harry Potter watching (don't judge me) to give you an update:

-I am indeed wearing my thirteenth outfit for the 30 for 30 today, and I did take a picture of it.

-I am being lazy and will post it tomorrow with my St. Valentine's Day outfit.

-I had a great time at the church's fashion show and luncheon. I also won a raffle prize! I won the "At The Movies" gift basket, which had Kettle Corn, Gummi bears, dark chocolate M&Ms, mini chocolate-covered pretzels, and a $10 gift certificate to Blockbuster video. I was super pumped. You'll see the picture of the basket tomorrow. Maybe. You know, if all the food isn't gone.

-My friend, Amy and I watched Gone With The Wind yesterday while we ate our Southern-style food feast (a couple pics to come), and we decided to count how many times Scarlett O'Hara was a decent human being (sweet) versus the times she was awful (sour). Things that went in the sour section included 1) slapping indiscriminately, 2) biting, 3) kissing a married man, 4) murder, and 5) beating a horse to death, among many others. Redeeming qualities were less, um, worthwhile. We gave her points for dressing well and being pretty. Final tally: Sweet=26, Sour=80.

-I feel like there should be a fifth item in this update....

...

Oh! Stephen's St. Valentine's Day gift is now going to be those Gummi bears I won.

What are you doing for the big day of love?

30 for 30, Day 12: Ladies Who lunch (And Dinner)

I have a very busy social calendar this afternoon and evening.

First up, in less than an hour, I will be at the annual Women's Guild Fashion Show for my church. A local lady's store has models/parishioners strut their stuff in the latest fashions. Since I spend at least 33 seconds of every day thinking about the latest fashions, I had to attend.

Also, I can't remember exactly from previous years, I think there is tea. So, win-win.

Later today I'll be hanging out with some girlfriends at home. We will be watching Gone With The Wind. Since this is, like, a four hour movie, we will interrupt the Civil War to make fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and peach cobbler.

And drink Southern sweet-tea. Again, win-win.

So, today I need an outfit that ranged from tea to shining tea. Here's what I found.

Outfit In Theory.


The blue dress, the darker blue cardigan, and the black boots are all part of my 30 for 30, while the tights and belt are extra.

Outfit In Practice.


Perfect. I hope to have pictures from my afternoon and even posted for you all soon. What do you think of my look for the day?
