30 for 30, Days 24, 25 and 26: Catching Up

No cute little intro today--just getting the outfits down for the books.

Thursday's Outfit In Theory.


The black dress, khaki blazer and camel boots are all part of my 30 for 30. Belt is a bonus item.

Thursday's Outfit In Practice.


It worked very well for the office environment I was headed to that day. Will be repeated later in life.

Friday's Outfit In Theory.


The light gray/blue cardigan, the skinny jeans, and the black boots are all part of my 30 for 30, while the purple scarf was a necessary addition (because it was a freezing cold rain all day).

What you're not seeing is the black jacket I also added because, again, it was freezing. It worked. As did my umbrella.

The gray sweater, the white blouse, the jeans, and the heels are part of my 30 for 30, while the belt is keeping it all together.

Today's Outfit In Practice.


I like it, except for the heels which I am going to get rid of after this challenge is over. They are too small for real walking. I have to bring a backup pair of shoes with me whenever I wear them. I guess this was a good part of the challenge: if forced me to realize that some things just don't work, and there is no use keeping them.

The end. Have a great rest of your weekend!

Weekend Revelations

In revelations that seem to come all at once (remember X Does Not Equal Y)?, I have learned much more about life.

Busy weekend.

Here's what I will share:

Always make sure to dust before opening up old cookbooks.

When cleaning your kitchen, make sure to not leave freshly-cut cantaloupe exposed.

Air conditioning is absolutely necessary in a second-story apartment in Fresno on a July afternoon. No matter how strong you think you are, you will be broken.

Mint juleps are potent. Be prepared.

I am not a fan of strategy games when I do not know the strategy ahead of time (see here). Also, I am not a fan of strategy games that go on for two-and-a-half hours. Ever.

While bug bites may not have the same social stigma as zits, they are, in fact, just as annoying. And, seven times itchier.

There is no getting around waiting at the DMV. Even its Website is in no hurry to help you.

When you are waiting for something, it just takes longer to get here.

Summer--and tomato season--means that I get to make awesome stuff like this.

It is really important to stay close to family.

Any weekend revelations you'd like to share? I'd love to hear 'em!
