{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 28

January 28th, 2011:

Tunic; gifted
Skinny jeans; Target
Platform wedges; Go Jane

Something really great that comes from living a digital lifestyle and plastering my favorite items on the Internets, is that all my friends and family members know exactly what to get me during holidays. This fun tunic was a gift from my mother-in-law for my birthday a couple of years back. I love the colors and the print, and how beautiful it looks paired with dark jeans. I was especially excited that it went perfectly with my new favorite pair of shoes from Go Jane! Described by my supervisor as “mummy shoes,” they are the most fun (and comfortable) pair of platform wedges I have ever seen! Don’t they look just like the Jeffrey Campbell’s that are covering all the hippest fashion blogs, but with a way more affordable price tag.

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 27

January 27th, 2011:

Tank; Wet Seal
Sparkle sweater; Old Navy
Jeans; Macy’s
Converse One Star’s; Target
Heart necklace; ??
Scarf; Old Navy

The chill is back! Well, somewhat. It was cold enough to wear a sweater and a scarf without getting strange looks, however, it was extremely short lived. By lunch time, I was ripping off my scarf and wishing I had worn short sleeves. Again, I’m sure all of you in other parts of the United States wish my quick, yet painful death. I’ve heard the snowstorms are really getting brutal!

However, over in our neck of the woods, it’s all 70’s, breezy and sunshine. Don’t hate.

But back to the outfit in hand. This sweater has always been a favorite of mine (it’s years and years old!) because of its beautiful sparkly thread. It gives such a lovely yet understated feminine vibe, which I dig (I don’t always have to be in screaming hot pink). I am also really impressed with the quality. Despite being worn to death over the past 5 years (told you it was old), it has held up great and always manages to keep me warm during our mild cold fronts.

TGIF, everyone!

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 26

January 26th, 2011:

Turtleneck dress; Ebay
Footless tights; Target
Jean jacket; Old Navy
No shoes; courtesy of the rain

No shoes…Wednesday? Well, that didn’t work, now did it.

It was a very rainy morning yesterday, so as soon as I took the dogs out for their walk, I tracked in all sorts of goodies into the house. I had to rip them off immediately, and do this post barefoot. I hope you all don’t mind.

I somehow found this great dress while randomly searching “black turtleneck dress” on Ebay as I was online shopping for some clothes for my family trip to NYC. I can’t remember the seller or the price at this moment, but I know it was a killer steal. Best part is that I didn’t wear it while in New York, but have worn it constantly back home in sunny Sofla! You just gotta love it.

On another note, I’ve tried pairing all black with bright tights, but I just cannot pull it off. I see some lovely ladies doing it on my favorite fashion blogs, but I just do not have that talent. I figure it may be because my legs are so thick – too much color on too much canvas, I suppose. So I stuck with black and looked like I was in mourning. Perhaps mourning the sun? The bright blue skies? The fact that Friday is so close yet so far?

Either way, I hope you all have a fantabulous Thursday and have some kick ass plans brewing for that so-close-yet-so-far weekend.

ps; can you believe I only have a few days left of the 30 day challenge? Where did January go?

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 25

January 25th, 2011:

Dress; Thrift store in San Francisco
Jeggings; Nordstrom Rack
Boots; gojane.com
Headband; Wet Seal

Thrifting is common practice in other big cities besides Miami, so I was beside myself when I got the chance to visit some fun thrift stores while visiting San Francisco a couple years back. I got this cute tunic, which makes me feel a little hippy dippy. And Lord knows I’ve needed a little peace and love as of late, am I right? It also helps that it is super comfortable (I admit that at times I choose comfort over fashion), so I felt nice and breezy throughout my work day. I later got my ass handed to me at a spinning class (do not ingest soup before spinning – FYI), and spent the rest of the night catching up on Conan with me, myself and the pups. 😉

Gluten is the enemy

Friday afternoon I received a call from my doctor’s office regarding my blood work. I had been having some pretty severe intestinal issues for about 2 years now, but had been avoiding getting them checked out due to my doctor (aka; needle) phobia. However, the pain and general discomfort had reached an all time high and I finally waved the white flag and made an appointment. When I got the call, I knew they had found something.

And that something was Celiac Disease.
