Day 1: Remix One Item

So, I read a fashion blog - Freckles in April - that is playing a GAME. And well, if there's a game available, I'll play it. It's a 21 day challenge, with a dressing prompt every day. I love me a surprise!

Today's challenge was to choose a piece of clothing that I'm going to remix two more times during the 21 day challenge. I chose this white eyelet skirt. It's perfectly neutral, but I think this is only the second time I've worn it, and I wear skirts 6 days a week! So, I'll be able to squeeze in a few more uses of it before eyelet is a little too summery. I don't really believe in "summer clothes" and "winter clothes", but eyelet might be one of those things that is more firmly in the summer category.

I'd also like to say that today's picture turned out well, except for I totally over-cheesed. Oh well. Maybe 21 days will improve my photography, too.

'Cause I've Got To Be Free

This is in my most excellent backyard. I'm still working out how to take pictures of myself, since I don't have a tripod or anything. I love playing around with it though. I love this shirt - and I modified it myself. It used to have a brown layer underneath the white layer on top, and it made it much more subtle. When I saw Carol Tuttle for the very first time, I was wearing it, and she didn't quite approve. I took it home and decided to cut out the brown lining, and now just wear it over a white undershirt. Perfect! I love cutting stuff up to fix it :).

Type 1ness of the day: I'm actually more productive at work when I have someone to talk to, to brainstorm with. Someone to chat with and laugh with. When there's no one around, it challenges me to focus. Focusing is easier if there are distractions!
