Lucky’s 30 Day Challenge. Day 21. Behind on Laundry

Keeping my composure, ha

This is day twenty-one of a series I’m doing that features a month of outfits. Read my intro here, find out about the Challenge here, and Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, Day 8, Day 9, Day 10, Day 11, Day 12, Day 13, Day 14, Day 15, Day 16, Day 17, Day 18, Day 19, and Day 20.

Hey all! Don’t worry I’m still here!

I’ve been battling some sort of cold-type sickness, which you Mommy types know is a particular kind of challenge when the au pair is on vay-cay ;D …Andrew, who is a semi-recovering hypochondriac, and who is about ready to start work again teaching at the college, has been making a concerted effort not to look grossed out, and has been real sweet to me even though I know he is mildly terrified that he is going to catch it. Good times!

But the beat and the days of fashion roll on! Cue the OOTD:

The Deets: Jacket- Juicy Couture. Skirt- Thakoon for Target. Tank- Target. Shoes- Oh Deer! Necklaces??

I think 70s EJ and I could share sunglasses

We all know that in this heat, this is how I'm wearing today's outfit!

You might have noticed that my usual white tank is grey today. It hasn’t actually changed color, I just got behind on laundry (thus the reason behind my blog title today). One of the downsides of this challenge is that it requires frequent laundering, which around here doesn’t always happen- unless it is a cloth diaper (those get washed every 2ish days) ha ha ha…

My wonderful MIL keeps pointing out that my 30 Day wardrobe sorely lacks in the blue/green department, and she is totally right. If I had really thought about it ahead of time I would have subbed out some things to balance out the colors more. Especially since Navy is one of my favorite colors to wear outside of the Challenge. Not to be deterred, I decided to do some creative accessorizing in her honor:

Only photo of necklace hack that wasn't a gratuitious boob shot

About a year or so ago Anthropologie had a necklace that looked essentially identical to what I made above but for anthro $$$ and I made a mental note to replicate the idea in the future, and the future just happens to be now. I just clasped the necklaces together and Voila! Easy, free, AND blue and green!

Today’s outfit is ok, I’m mostly neutral about it. I don’t love it and I don’t hate it. It is fine, but doesn’t blow me away. I think I’m starting to get tired of all the pieces, which I think is to be expected with a Challenge like this.

Anyway, in other “meh” news, somehow I didn’t get a photo of Calliope in her outfit today! Fail!

As a sort of Hail Mary, I give you a brief video of Opie fingerpainting for the first time. For those of you that are interested, the diaper she is wearing is a Flip. Also, please forgive the double greeting, I never know when my iPhone actually starts recording, and I forgot to edit <blush>
