I am going to be perfectly honest with you. This #dadim was a mess of a whole lot harder than I originally expected it to be. Just before I started the month of May my parents decided to put the house on the market. Now before you label them crazy they did plan for it, just not in the God-sized way it happened. We worked from sun-up to sun-down for three straight weeks. We ripped carpet, painted bathrooms, sorted attic spaces, burned old files, cleaned, cleaned, and cleaned. It was long and tiring but we were so proud of ourselves for how much we got done! The house looks fantastic, we have a buyer, and we close on July 30th. God. is. Good!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Anyway, all the work posed a slight problem for my ability to wear dresses when I wanted to. Since I work from home I was helping out quite a bit. I did stick with it and was able to pull off a few cute and put-together days! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I learned a bit about work and dress combinations. I learned that I am thankful for the ease of shorts we have now. I thought back to when girls wore dresses...like that was it...and how hot and cumbersome that must have been. Climbing a ladder in a maxi-dress was a feat...let me tell you! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-TJN0bOQMzZk/U6CzK4d0BsI/AAAAAAAAEUY/1ZnL9iNdMKg/s640/blogger-image--381938443.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-TJN0bOQMzZk/U6CzK4d0BsI/AAAAAAAAEUY/1ZnL9iNdMKg/s640/blogger-image--381938443.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At the exact same moment I was grumbling about it, I realized how simple of a thing that was. We have all but lost our feminine touch. I have no brothers and I didn't mind lending a hand at all but it got me thinking...it isn't anything for a girl to roll up her sleeves and get down to work. I am not against hard work at all. I love a good day's sweat. However, I would have loved for it not to be a reason for me to avoid being feminine. You know? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-F2mPeTu8A8Y/U6CzJBEkaUI/AAAAAAAAEUI/gJeuMkUYnig/s640/blogger-image-1690283522.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-F2mPeTu8A8Y/U6CzJBEkaUI/AAAAAAAAEUI/gJeuMkUYnig/s640/blogger-image-1690283522.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I learned to get very creative. Surprisingly there were VERY little on repeat. Which I wasn't expecting. I learned to stretch an item or two and various ways and there was very little I didn't like. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-t-8ty_8nxvo/U6CzNrG9HII/AAAAAAAAEUw/3erYu6AaMhw/s640/blogger-image--750955924.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-t-8ty_8nxvo/U6CzNrG9HII/AAAAAAAAEUw/3erYu6AaMhw/s640/blogger-image--750955924.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I learned that maxi (of any kind) and cotton knit fabrics were the best for comfort, my job, and over all enjoyment. There wasn't much in way or tugging, pulling, pinching etc. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ptKcO-bc504/U6CzKOCbdPI/AAAAAAAAEUQ/T5pad6ERp-0/s640/blogger-image-1768704445.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ptKcO-bc504/U6CzKOCbdPI/AAAAAAAAEUQ/T5pad6ERp-0/s640/blogger-image-1768704445.jpg" width="428" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I learned that it is SO much better when you are doing it as a team. I am a part of a group on Facebook and this year my sister joined me! It made the days seem so much shorter looking forward to seeing the looks everyone came up with! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-baXXLyunlEk/U6CzMk3cMlI/AAAAAAAAEUo/1oUaVAZrNIU/s640/blogger-image--42289543.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-baXXLyunlEk/U6CzMk3cMlI/AAAAAAAAEUo/1oUaVAZrNIU/s640/blogger-image--42289543.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I learned that dressing like a girl gave me a reason to carry myself like one too. I typically carry a pretty can-do-attitude. Much to the dismay of some of my left side, feminist friends I enjoyed having the door held open for me or the heavy loads carried for me. Not because I am weak, lazy, or overly dependently flirtatious but because it caused a sense of being girl to carry over to how I accepted help or not. </div>

I learned that I value my Mays and look forward to next year when I do it all over again!<br />

I will be back with a #dadim recap. The month went really well and I can't wait to let you guys in on it!<br />
<br />
For now, let's get the festivities of Friday underway. I have been looking forward to this day all week! It has just been one of <i>those</i> weeks....=)<br />

If you have never heard of <a href="http://jane.com/">Jane.com</a>, you should go there right now! There is pretty much nothing on there that I dislike. I have mentally spent WAY too much money! Yeah for self-control right?<br />

So my five are my current top five picks!<br />

How cute is this?! And modest! The description even says the modest cut intended to be worn at the natural waist allows the skirt to hit below the knee! Plus a no-slit design ensures its modesty from the sitting aspect! Yeah!<br />

I haven't completely decided about these shorts yet. I love the idea of lace/crochet shorts but I haven't landed on a particular style yet. I am not a huge fan of the length of these but I would purchase them to see and potentially return them. I like to try until I get it right!<br />

Day 2 - Just a work/cleaning day so I was able to actually wear cute clothes...still grungy though! =) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Shirt - Hanes (sidenote: it is a men's tshirt...like the undershirt kind. BUT, this is my all time favorite shirt to wear when I am in the mood for a boyfriend tee. It is so soft and goes with just about anything depending on how I tie it, belt it, or tuck it. I will do a post about that later!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

This poor little neglected blog! I have no excuse other than time. By the time the lighting is decent for pictures I don't have time and when I have time, the lighting is bad. I digress.<br>
<br>
So, announcement time! I have decided to participate in A Dress A Day in May again this year! I am super, super excited! I took part last year and had a pretty successful go of it. Just really lacked in the picture taking department! This year my goal is to take decent pictures...ok, ok just to take pictures period! <br>
<br>
Now for the invitation. Please join along! The rules are simple.<br>
- Everyday for the month of May, where a skirt or dress.<br>
- Take pictures.<br>
- Write up a short synopsis of your day. <br>
- Link back here or instagram with #DADIM<br>
<br>
Simple right? Who wants to join me? <br>

Yes, that is a smudge on my mirror. No, I don't know where it came from. No, that doesn't make this picture awkward.<br />
The awkward part is this outfit. I don't know how I feel about it. Still don't.<br />
<br />
Final decisions: Sweater, stays; black top, gone; skirt, still deciding. I am going to try wearing this skirt with other things before I make my final, final decisions!<br />
<br />
Sweater: JC Penny's<br />
Top: old and I can't read the label. One reason why it is going!<br />
Skirt: A refashion from a Kohls dress. Again, old!<br />
Necklace: Charming CharliesAHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01704191103209199749noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356794348827133590.post-46052800247269266742013-10-23T01:14:00.000-04:002013-10-23T01:14:00.597-04:00Chambray and yellow<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sorry for the default iphone pictures. Sometimes it is just easier. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found this chambray shirt on a sale rack at Kohls months ago. I had a gift card. It was the right price. Match made in heaven right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wrong. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These shoes I bought for my sister's wedding. In typical AH style I don't purchase something I won't wear again. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again, wrong. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the wedding they sat in my closet for a year before I touched them again. Now all of the sudden they are so worn I don't even remember their original color. Finally paid off.</div>

I honestly don't know where this summer went. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not complaining! I love, love, love fall! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I posted a little about it here.

<div style="text-align: center;">
I was told I looked like a mermaid. More than once yesterday. Don't know if that is a compliment or not. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jazv8Ao58dw/UhtAqnZMTkI/AAAAAAAADBY/1HclJk4LQzg/s1600/DSCN9977.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jazv8Ao58dw/UhtAqnZMTkI/AAAAAAAADBY/1HclJk4LQzg/s640/DSCN9977.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mermaid or no, I love this dress and this outfit! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
When I spotted this dress in a thrift some many months ago I fell in love! What was better, the price tag's color meant it was up for 50% off! Score! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Originally made in Hawaii I purchased it for a grand total of $6. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It is super fun and different. The colors and pictures that make of the fabric are so opposite to the majority of my wardrobe! </div>

I have resolved that unless I just grab someone to take a picture, it's not gonna happen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have resolved that no matter how I "feel" I just need to take the picture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have resolved that even on the "off" days pictures need to happen. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have resolved that even these cell grabbed fine prints will be the best for now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have resolved to let go of "perfect" and be dependable to finish a job.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have resolved that that said "perfect" will not manage me, but I will manage it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have resolved to wear "those" items in order to make this thing work! </div>

I know what you're thinking...she can not count. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sad fact, I can count. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other sad fact, I am aware I am missing several days. Again, I can count, but the word "several" sounds better than the actual number. Go with me on this one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This weekend I have been in MO celebrating my cousin's college graduation. Lots of fun, lots of doing, lots of lots. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have worn skirts/dresses all those missing days. I have witnesses to testify. Just no pictures. Let's hope I can make up for it the remaining weeks of the month. So far it has been a success and being away has made the temptation to wear pants less because I only packed skirts/dresses! I have no other options. Score! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This outfit brought to you today but the St. Louis Cardinals! </div>

Man, I thought I would get better at this...not happening! I keep missing my picture taking opportunities. Before I know it, it is 20 minutes past 10 o'clock and I'm ready for gym shorts and a tshirt, not a picture! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thankfully, this weekend was my sister's graduation and party so lots of picture taking times and luckily I did happen to make it in front of the shutter once or twice! </div>

It's been a tough week. Not going to lie. Physically, emotionally, spiritually, etc. I have been so incredibly thankful for the timing of my God in bringing along just the right people at just the right moment.</div>

I have literally had a running argument with this dress all day long. Not sure if it sits well. The longer I wear it, the more I like it. However, I am not a fan of 2 things. Any guesses?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uJ3yDQyhMss/UYL3oHYvYsI/AAAAAAAACrg/cIBSjNO6JC0/s1600/DSCN9024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uJ3yDQyhMss/UYL3oHYvYsI/AAAAAAAACrg/cIBSjNO6JC0/s640/DSCN9024.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
#1 = length! Length is a big one. I am finding it hard to like anything unless it touches or goes above my knee or down to my toes...I am trying people.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
#2 = the <u>buttons</u> down the <u>front</u> make for a not so pleasant combination, ESPECIALLY with children! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oT6S8cIPndI/UYL4P2SbDDI/AAAAAAAACro/vVAg2FsV6i4/s1600/DSCN9026.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oT6S8cIPndI/UYL4P2SbDDI/AAAAAAAACro/vVAg2FsV6i4/s640/DSCN9026.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, I really like it. Really. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today was a long day folks! Sorry for my appearance being evidence of so! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Dress: OLD! I have NO idea where it came from! My mom passed it down a few weeks ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cardigan: old navy OLD!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Belt: land's end</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
shoes: kohls</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Final decisions: everything stays! I, for the most part, liked the way everything fit and not a thing has stains or is warped really! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Couldn't upload a single thing last night and these two alone took FOREVER!
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh well, onto it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You know that food that is titled comfort food? The dishes that make you feel comfortable and at home no matter what? It is different for everyone. Well, today's outfit was basically that, in clothes form. Comfort clothes. I began DADIM yesterday with no drive, no inspiration, and no time. The alarm went off late, the closet was a mess, the kids were crazy, yada, yada, yada.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, when it comes down to it, I did manage to wear a dress, the first day, in May. AND, it wasn't terrible...well, too terrible.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2UmLOgEYNeQ/UYJMJVoJK_I/AAAAAAAACqk/izAyoZuXMbg/s1600/DSCN9023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2UmLOgEYNeQ/UYJMJVoJK_I/AAAAAAAACqk/izAyoZuXMbg/s640/DSCN9023.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dress: OLD walmart</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sweater: thrifted</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
tank: hand-me-down/over Target</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Final decisions: Sweater stays. Tank stays. Shoes stay. Dress...pretty sure it needs to go. This thing has seen it's better days and let me tell you they were some time ago. I would love to repalace it before I toss it but that's not the point of this. If I happen to thrift one, great! If not, oh well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
DADIM Day 1 = success. mild but a success.</div>

Yesterday we headed to DC for a picnic for my mom's birthday! The spring weather has finally leveled out around here so it was time to pull out some newbies! Yes, this breaks every rule to this game, HOWEVER, in my defense: they were in the closet before I started...well, all but the jacket! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
But, I had been looking for just this jacket for weeks now! I really needed it to pull together some looks! Works well don't ya think!? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was super excited that this outfit costs a grand total of = $9</div>
