October 22, 2010: No Rest

But, I'm not wicked... I've just got alot of catching up to do post vacation. What up with that? You take a vacation to refresh yourself but when you get back to work/home things are busier than ever. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't have changed going on vacation but, I think that whole phenomenon is pretty ironic. Craziness... I'm sure I would not be able to deal with this if I hadn't taken a break!

On another note, my curly hair is finally getting into it's groove! It's been more than two months since I let it be itself but, it wasn't quite right. There were still some straight bits in the front that wouldn't go back to normal until today, that is... What do you think?

I've got nude shoes! Which I also had yesterday but, they weren't the focus. It's a 9 AM meeting kind of work day but, fun "date night" with one of my girlfriends after. I'll have flip flops in my bag, for sure, since I probably won't get to make a stop at home and these shoes are comfy but, not that much. I'm excited for a laid back dinner and mildly amused by the prospect of Sex and The City 2. I fear that by the end of the night it will turn into a general disappointment but, I digress... The dress on the other hand, I could wear for days, SO comfy! Either way I think the shoes really pop being the only thing I'm wearing that is not black! Too severe?

Speaking of black next week I will be taking the blackout challenge, no black for one week. I am gettin it all in today but, since I don't generally wear an overwhelming amount of black I'm going to try and go all the way, no shoes or accessories either! That will be more of a challenge and I'm not sure I'm going to be able to pull it off but, I'm definitely willing to give it a try!

Do you like the new picture background? I moved to another spot in my hallway, super exciting!!! It's still a work in progress... One day I will take fantastic pictures but, practice makes perfect and today is not that day.

The sun is peeking it's head out and even though it's still cold I'm feeling excited about not being head to toe covered up. Time for capris! Sadly, I think part of the reason that my outfit doesn't look ah-mazing in this mediocre picture is because the items of clothes are a little big on me, especially the shirt. I thought I weeded all those items out of my closet... I guess not. This shirt might need to go in the donation bag when I get home.

I am trying to find similar and affordable versions of what I am wearing because not many items from my wardrobe are currently in stores now since the whole point of this is to not buy (a ton) of new clothes. Is that something that interests you? Leave me a comment and let me know.

• Top: aqua wrap shirt, New York and Company with white tank top under (for the modesty)
• Bottom: brown plaid capris, New York and Company (similar-ish here)
• Shoes & Accesories: bronze ballet flats, Me Too via DSW (similar here); chunky multi stone necklace, picked up at a local jewelry store (similar here); yellow alley bag (similar *vegan option* here)
