SL: Something Blue

[dress & belt/jc penny :: necklace/gift :: shoes/blowfish :: ring/f21 :: bracelets/gordmans (i think)]

NOTE: Please excuse my shitty phone pics, I forgot my actual camera!

Even though it's pretty much feeling like fall around here, we have had a couple randomly warm [hot] days.  On one of these warmer days we were headed to the wedding of one of Brian's friends - when we got lost.  Yep.  We have since discovered that we need to work on our "going with the flow if we get lost" skills.  Frustration trumped us that afternoon and sadly we missed the majority of the wedding, but it was non-religious and thus only about 10 minutes long, so we really weren't that late.  Another friend of Brian's was officiating, so we got to see the last bit where he announced the couple.  It was still cool!  

The reception was really pretty and fun...and I'm pretty sure I was at a "hipster" wedding, lol!  No judgement here though, it was held in this huge round barn and they were getting polaroids of all the guests as we came in. Ha, it was super cute.  Oh and the bride had this adorable 50s vibing dress on - like I said super cute.  Since I didn't really know the couple I don't have any photos of them, so my dress photos will just have to suffice! Oh and are we loving my new shoes or what?  I know I am!  Although, like two seconds after this I tripped on some old barbed wire fence in the ground and gouged my shoes...and my foot.  Ah, what I go through for silly photos! :P

Oh, and I thought I'd just share my pretty cat eye makeup.  Seriously, it takes me so long to do that shit, but I love it!  Also, my face is not actually orange [see first picture!] - I think there was just something reflecting on me.

Cost breakdown anyone?

Okay, I feel I've already begun to ramble or am about to start.  Have a great day!

xo, kass

#27 Holiday Cheer

Just getting into the Holiday spirit a bit!  Yes, yes that is my Christmas tree!  It's up, just not decorated.

 
Anyway, I was packing and trying things on for the upcoming holiday...and decided to take pictures for my 30 for 30! It’s that blue plaid dress with my black sweater over top, that I just sort of tucked into a belt. You can’t tell from these pictures, but my leggings are sparkle-y! I’ll be wearing this wearing over the weekend!

#15 Halfway There!

 
Holy cow, I’m halfway through my 30 for 30 challenge!! To be honest, I’m a bit shocked I’ve made it this far. For the past week or so I’ve had to have a pep talk with myself nearly everyday. Now, that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel I have much more drive to see it through! However, I don’t plan on doing this challenge again any time soon...or ever. Ha! I do think I will try Feathers & Freckles 10 & 2 challenge. It will be a bit less intense and still help me learn to restyle my closet [and appropriately fill my “Donate” box].

On the outfit, I love this dress, but never wear it [obviously, it’s #15 and you are seeing it for the first time!]. This is the prime reason for including it in my 30 items. I thought the length might be a bit questionable for work, but that’s what dark tights are for, right? I’ve always subscribed to the rule that wearing dark tights gives you a few inches allowance!  Also, when I see it in the pictures it doesn't look as short as it feels.
