day 2.

sweater: zara

striped shirt: h&m

black skirt: old navy?

amazing fleece lined tights: sears?

boots: uggs

sooooo i was going to get up this morning, pack my gym bag and go before class.....

and then i sloowwly lost my motivation,

while looking at the snow accumulate outside my bedroom window.

so i decided to stay in, finish some reading,

and head to class in the afternoon.

why am i not wearing pants, you ask?

(when the windchill is well below zero...)

well, those aren't just any tights.

they're FLEECE LINED.

booyah.

i should have bought 4 pairs of those babies, they're amazing.

i wish i remember what brand they are-

everyone go to sears and try to find them.

btw that's the most random place to buy tights, i'm aware of it.

wednesday nights have been kind of funky for me recently.

i have i class every wednesday where we read and discuss

pretty provocative, politically and emotionally charged issues.

globalization, the wto, native populations getting decimated and ignored.

fights over drilling oil, islamophobia, etc. 

it's a lot to take in, and i come home emotionally drained and exhausted.

my classes are challenging in a good way, but i just feel like the processing is hard,

and that the discussion is always cut a bit short.  

so.... glad i'll have thursday and friday to decompress a bit.

how was your wednesday?

life list revisted.

waaay back several

life list wednesdays ago,

i wrote about wanting to try my hand 

at fashion blogging.

well it just so happens, this girl over at kendi everday,

is organizing another of her 

30 for 30

challenges, starting February 1st.

and i'm kinnnnnnnda thinking about participating.

the jist is, 

you pick 30 items of clothes

(pants, skirts, dresses, sweaters, and shoes...

tights, accessories, winter coats/boots not included)

and you remix the same 30 items for 30 days, and document it.

no outfit repeats.

and you can't shop during the challenge!

so many of the blogs i read have participated in it,

and said that it's both challenging and liberating, 

to only have 30 items to choose from.

not to mention, ramps up the creativity a bit!

so i'm contemplating.

would you do it?

who's up for a challenge with me!

life list: start a fashion blog.

i'd say about 3/4 of the blogs i read 

are fashion blogs.

not haute couture or anything, 

rarely vogue or schmancy stuff,

whatiwore.

just personal blogs of women 

who take pictures of what they wear.

scholarstyleguide.

i think reading them

has made me more creative with my outfits.

now i look in the closet and see more choices.

chictopia.

it's fun to see what other people wear,

although sometimes i think 

i'd be nervous to put all those pictures of myself

on the internet for everyone to see.

weardrobe.

i've made a skirt from directions on a blog,

started thrifting,

and i have a whole pile of bookmarks for DIY projects.

top on the list: embellished tank tops and chunky knit hunter green leg warmers :)

are you interested in fashion?

do you read fashion blogs?

would you read mistinguett if it were a fashion blog?
