I'm Back.
I've been away...from this blog. I'm sorry. I'm also sad to admit I have slacked from my 30 for 30 challenge...honestly, like I knew I would! I am actually wearing all the clothes but have such little time away from work for photos, editing, and blogging. It's quite frustrating actually, but that's life! I need to work!
Since I've been gone, Valentine's Day has come and past. I got a gift from my darling, sweet parents that I've been wanting for a very long time! My Mom called it my Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas, and Happy Valentine's Day present! I was so surprised and super excited! This is what I got...

Thanks Mom and Dad! Now my breath will be extra fresh for your daily kisses and hugs! 

By they way, if any of you don't have one these...get one!

Necklaces!

How do you keep your necklaces? Do you have enough room for a standing jewelry case? Or do you do the bulletin board trick too?

Commercials

Another apology...no photos today but they'll hopefully be coming soon!!!

In the meantime...here are my favorite Super Bowl Commercials...

Super Bowl!

I'm soooo sorry I have not posted these yet! Super Bowl Weekend was a huge distraction from this blog! From the games, to the food, to the people, and the snow storms! It was ridiculously fun and want to do it again with everyone next weekend! So, due to the fact I was not home and without a camera or my clothes, I have no pictures of my outfits on my body. But I fully intend on making up for that and maybe tacking them on to some future posts! So here's outfit number 5 anyway...

More about Super Bowl Weekend and outfits to come!

The Weekend.
I was just thinking...I kinda like that February only has 28 days (except for a leap year, of course, when it has 29). But I like the change up instead of the: 30 days, 31 days, 30 days, 31 days, etc., etc. February never goes into the 30's! You're cool February.

On another note...too bad work doesn't allow jeans as business attire. With the right shirt, hairdo, and accessories you can totally glam jeans! Too bad.

I just really like this ensemble...especially on a Saturday when I have errands to run and the public will see me. I do know that this is my next go-to-outfit when I need something to wear and I'm having a style-fart...get it? Instead of a brain-fart...a style-fart...cuz I can't think of what to wear? Hmmm.

 I need to go on the record and tell you...these boots were given to me as a birthday present (from my Mother) probably six years ago. I love them more now than I did then.

Hat/Beanie/Head Thingy...Target (Sale: $2)

Blouse...Gap (Thrifted)

Sweater...Gap (Sale...I also got it in purple...Dad would say, "Unnecessary." to which I respond, "I know.")

Jeans...Buckle (Free...someone nice cleaned out her closet and said, "Here.")

Boots...Route 66 (Birthday gift)

Oh, Look!
I'm here, on Kendi Everyday's Remixer List! See if you can find me. How exciting...

I would probably wear this to a winter wedding or a dressy night out, of course.

Skirt...Banana Republic (Sale: $8)

Blouse...Gap (Sale)

Boots...Shoe Ocean (Sale)

Can't remember my 30 pieces?

-30
below wind chill is what our weather has consisted of the past couple of days...and add that to the 2 degrees and below 0...you get BURRRRRRR! How ridiculous. Every winter...every winter...my family and I always say, "Why do we live here?". And I say it again this winter, "Why do we live here?".
Well...since I realize I cannot change this fact at the moment, I need to learn to deal with it. And wear clothing that keeps me warm!

So...Layers, layers, layers!

If you don't know me or haven't noticed, I love big earrings. I do not feel completely dressed without them. Another thing I would like you all to know about me...I never buy anything for full price. Never. Unless full price is covered by a gift card, $5, or free, it never happens. So every piece of clothing I own are either thrifted or previous sale items.

Wool Sweater...Aerie (gift card/sale)

Navy Shirt...Gap (sale)

Jeans...Buckle (thrifted)

Boots...TJ Maxx (gift card)

Scarf...Gift from my Sista

Belt...Free from my Mama

Stay warm everyone!

Happy February!

I apologize my 30 for 30 did not begin on February 1st. I worked until 8:00pm last night, so the last thing I wanted to do was to come home and take any sort of pictures! But, nonetheless, I am here, along with my numero uno outfit of thirty! 

We're starting off cazz (pronounced like "jazz" but with a "k" sound at the beginning) or casual, whichever way you prefer the word. It's cute, it's comfy, and it's my day off! Because of this break from work (and most of the public)...we're starting off the 30 for 30 quite simple! Don't worry though, more layers, accessories, and hairdos will all make an appearance! I have to dress up in professional attire for work daily, so it's nice to have a comfy/cozy outfit to live in for a day.

Amanda, where did you get these articles of clothing?!

So glad you asked!

Sweater...Gap (On sale)

Black Jeans...Aeropostale (On sale)

The Velcro Kicks...Thrift Store

See ya tomorrow!
