Day 17

.

Dear Neighbors,

.

You have seen me take pictures of my outfit now for 10 of the last 17 days. You have stared out your windows and peaked over your fences in hopes of figuring out what this self involved neighbor girl of yours is doing.

.

I hate to break it to you but I'm doing exactly what you think I am doing. I am turning on the self timer on my camera, placing it on a fence and taking a picture of my outfit. I am not doing anything scandalous that you can gossip about with the other bored neighbors when you take out the garbage.

.

So please, stop finding excuses to go outside while I am taking my pictures because I end up getting distracted when I see you trying to spy on me and it takes me a whole 5 minutes longer to take my pictures... 5 minutes I won't be getting back.

.

Sincerely,
Melissa

I needed to wear my pencil skirt before I got really frustrated that I included it in my 30 pieces.

..

Paired with my romper I felt really cute and very over dressed but oh well. As my cousin Alicia has asked recently... When did Vancouverites start dressing so casual?

.
Hoop earrings are from Fine Finds
.Belt and clutch are from Plum and I love them both. I admit that even though I bought this belt ages ago this is one of the first times I've worn it. Is it sad that a simple belt like this makes me feel too done up? I think I need accessory therapy!.
Now I'm watching 500 Days of Summer and re-falling in love with love. I'm a romance addict.

Day 16

Since today I spent zero time outside I thought I'd make the decision to include a pair of jeans in my 30 pieces seem far less silly. So I ignored the fact that it was another warm day and I put on a pair of jeans.

I've actually been freezing all day so it turns out I made the right decision. Now I'm going to go make some quick fajitas for dinner and then I'm meeting Mike at the movies so we can finally see Despicable Me..

I personally think this will be the perfect movie outfit. Comfy and warm (well, with a cardigan and perhaps my trench it will be warm!). AND since I plan on stuffing my face with treats at the movies it's perfect that this top is nice and forgiving haha.

I finally wore my suede wrap around watch from UO. It's been way too warm to wear it before now.
.
Thanks for all your kind words on my first 15 outfits. While I do have some fun outfits planned for the second half of the challenge, today was all about comfort.
.
Have a nice night everyone!

Day 15

Yay! Halfway done the challenge!

Today ended up being a super busy day so I didn't get a lot of pics of my outfit that I like, but oh well, they give you a decent enough idea!

I bought this flower from a craft store, cut off the stem and pinned it to my dress. Ta da! Inexpensive flower broach!

This is my second time wearing this dress during this challenge and I wasn't sure if I had changed it up enough with these different accessories. But when I arrived at my family BBQ both my sister and cousin who read my blog asked me if this dress had been worn yet. Success! Apparently a huge purple flower makes this dress look all shiny and new! Or I have really unobservant relatives... whichever!
