Awkward pictures and weekend plans

This title is in honor of my patented Friday blogging formula! ;-)

I took these shots during the Pantone challenge week but I was still in my swamped/life funk phase so these were never posted. When you have pictures this awkwardly charming though, you can't keep them to yourself! This is the first time I've put this cardigan and dress together, and I liked it! I've also never worn this dress with tights and boots, but I'll be trying it again with this one and the other two I have (in green and black). I've actually shown this dress on the blog before too, so yay for remixing!

I don't even have an explanation. Maybe I was showing the cardigan's shape?

Attempting to show the ring and tights at the same time...

And, to talk about the second part of the title, what are everyone's weekend plans? =) I'm going to spend at least a few minutes cleaning out ill-fitting clothes and planning next week's outfits. Also, it's going to be close to 80 here on Sunday! Hope it doesn't make the ladybugs and wasps attack our house again. EEK!! 

Stumpier than I thought

This is my 100th published posting!! Woo hoo! Plus, I'm almost to my one year blog-i-versary (or however you spell it). I think I'm finally starting to post consistently too. Gold star!

I went full out Southern girl for this title! It's the shortened version of "this outfit makes me look a lot stumpier than I thought I was." Stumpier, for those of you not in the know, means shorter and a little wider. I'm trying to wear my white pants a lot this summer since, you know, you can't wear them after Labor Day (which is way too rapidly approaching). I usually wear them with a longer top, but I thought this might be a good pairing. I feel kind of meh about it. The tank top seems to cut me off at a wide part of my body, plus it felt really, really low cut all day. I think it just bought itself a ticket to thriftdom...

Pardon the couch arm here...

Does my nose look crooked here? 

TGIF!! Weekend!! No knocked over mailbox today like last week! No flash flooding and crazy rain this week! Lots of exclamation points!! 

</Stumpy, out> ;-)

What I Wore: May 1, 2013

So, I'm not loving my outfit today. I started out planning to wear this:

Blah

But, it was so wrinkled and blah that I wasn't feeling it. The shirt is not quite as fitted as I thought it should've been either, so it may go to the giveaway bag.

My next move was to try on my new yellow pants. After a lot of combinations, this is what I came up with:

Still not feeling it

I liked the blue tank top and yellow pants, but I didn't love the cardigan and shoes. Although now that I look at it, it's not as bad as I thought. However, this was what I finally settled on:

The verdict is still out on this one...

"Artsy" shot

I think I didn't love the gray/blue/yellow together, but maybe I've just been too self-conscious about yellow pants all day. That's silly too because I have maroon pants, and I wouldn't have thought twice about a colored skirt. Maybe it's just a grumpy Wednesday. Even my beloved rastanana from yesterday isn't making me laugh as much. I predict an early bedtime in my near future! 

Also, does my phone camera take better pictures than my digital camera? Is it time to save some pennies for a new camera, or should I be using my phone every day??
