So I was sharing with E some G.roupons I was finding -
$37 at a fancy Italian restaurant for 2 appetizers, 2 entrees and 2 desserts!
$25 for a portrait session - and two sheets (wallets, etc) - and a CD of 3 images!
he responded "yes" to our next date night, and yes to a family portrait, and then requested that I stop spending all of our money...
(this is all via G.oogle chat)
now, he's a programmer/web developer/mobile app coder - a big computer nerd.
So, a few minutes later he says, "at the top right of groupon is a link that says "Log Out; click that real quick, I just wanna test something."
We'd talked, in the past, about how funny/creepy(stalkerish?) it was when we'd be chatting about, say, going to M.edival T.imes and <SNAP> there was an ad in the side bar for the damn jousting knights!
So I'm thinking, he's got some theory to test, so I [log out] and tell E, "ok now what?"
....
He says,
Congrats. You're one step closer to saving more money!
and - another Tuesday gone by without the Tour Series started... (tonight! I'll finish the post! especially because E has an indoor hockey league with Game #1 scheduled for tonight at 7:30 - so I'll have the house to myself while Ben sleeps!)
so, here's Wardrobe Wednesdays!
I have a ridiculous amount of clothes, alot of which I very rarely wear. which is insane, because I just bought more from E.xpress... (see, now I'm putting dots everywhere so the spy-spammers don't spam me with targeted spam!)
Anyways - I fight with my closet every morning, throwing clothes on and ripping them off, leaving the bed and floor strewn with cast-offs:
the jeans that I didn't realize were still dirty
the shirt that I discovered had a stain on it
(I'm noticing a trend here...)
and it's usually the days that I feel I've just thrown something on after exhausting nearly every summer outfit, when I start receiving compliments as early as day-care drop off: "You always have such cute/put-together outfits!"
And continue at work: "I want you to be my personal stylist!" (that from a therapist, and was probably one of the best compliments I've received - cuz it's not just a particular piece of clothing, accessory or outfit - it's all of it that they like!)
So without further ado, here's Wardrobe Wednesday #1
(one of my more tried-and-true outfits, rather than a science experiment of layered tanks, dresses, and cardigans - I'm sure you'll eventually see those!)
*top from - can't remember where, or how much
*pants from asos - can't remember how much
*shoes from - can't remember where, and the image was the closest representation I could find for my actual shoes
*cardigan from - thrift store, I'm sure...
**all images are approximations of actual clothes... since, obviously I can't quite remember where anything came from...
nice right? I'll try to do better with sources for next Wardrobe Wednesday!
I get that too when I don't do laundry for a while and I pull out a last resort skirt to wear for the day. I think in my case though people have such ridiculously low expectations of my wardrobe choices that the least little something gets them all excited.
ReplyDeleteI just cleaned out my closet and was left with about 15 tops that I wear regularly. The rest, I haven't worn in forever. Now I just need to fill it back up with good stuff! love your outfit... I <3 colored jeans!
