Day 28: Fall

What? Did we skip the rest of summer? Friends, I know that San Francisco summers are cooler than usual, but I had gotten a little used to the beautiful scooting weather. Remember the days during this 30 for 30 when I could wear this dress without leggings, boots, a cardi and a scarf? Well, gone are those days. Hopefully they visit again soon.

Either way, I suppose it was fun to experiment with the hot pink dress and some layers. I'm less than thrilled with the results, but that's how the 30 for 30 goes. You win some, you lose some.

I'm thinking I should revisit getting a pair of Warby Parker's. I should be able to get a huge discount after insurance, which will make them really cheap Rx frames. Or I could just go with full price and save the insurance for a different pair of sturdy frames. That's been my one worry about WPs, after all: the sturdiness. Has anyone had any experience with them?

I sure am asking you a lot of retail advice this week.

Oh, and I'm leaning toward the Nook. My mom brings up a good point about checking out library books. And we all know I'm much to cheap to always purchase a book. I'd much rather borrow when possible.

Fashion Risk #3: Maxi Skirt

OK, it's not actually a maxi skirt. It's a dress. But I fooled at least one friend. (She even asked if she could borrow my skirt!) And I fooled my husband. Mission accomplished.

I wore this to church--I was singing that day--and I left it on the rest of the day. Now, anyone who knows me well knows that I have a tendency to change into what the hubs calls "fat pants" the instant I cross our apartment's threshold. (Don't worry--he doesn't think I'm fat, that's just his pet name for my lounge pants.)

But not on Sunday.


On Sunday I stayed in this outfit all day. I was that comfortable.

Plus, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out style wise. Getting closer and closer to honing in on my style aesthetic. But it's still just out of reach, so it seems.

Get excited, because the next few days I'll be posting how I've styled different pieces from my husband's closet as he's been away on a business trip.

P.S. Also very excited because today I ordered my "try at home" Warby Parker samples.
