Psychology 101

I am a Virgo, which means that I am overly analytical. On top of that, I minored in Psychology to "mask the crazy!" I believe that everything has a reason for happening, and it is my sole purpose on earth to figure the reasons for everything! With that in mind, I must say that today was quite the day for reasoning and statistics in my head.

Does it mean something that I counted how many steps it takes to get from my car to my desk at work? 468 steps to be exact. Does it mean something else if I counted how many steps it took from my desk back to my car at the end of the day? 398 to be exact. I am almost certain those numbers are significant and mean a great deal!

Does it mean something else if I felt heavily sedated on my drive home from work, even though it was broad day light? Does it mean something that as soon as I got home, I went straight to the shower? Is there a reason why I literally sighed aloud over ten times while taking that shower? I'm talking about like I was auditioning for a Garnier commercial! I even caught myself whispering "yes, yes" to myself! When I caught myself, I looked over my shoulder like an idiot as if anyone could hear me except my dog!

While I ponder what all of this means, here's the outifit I wore today.

 I loved this look as long as I was standing still  because any time I was in motion, the skirt kept bunching! That annoyed the hell out of me! I even limited my trips around the building at work today to avoid my inside voices screaming to the top of their lungs! Don't judge me...I minored in Psychology in college...that makes me normal!

P.S....I'm thinking the shorter trip back to my car at the end of the day had something to do with me RUNNING to my car! LOL

Challenge: Mission Accomplished!

I did it! I didn't repeat my clothes for a whole month (not including accessories). It was actually quite fun. I dug out clothes that were feeling quite neglected in the back of my closet. I just may keep the challenge going. It allowed me to wear some oldies but goodies!

Thursday:

Skirt: Arden B's (Atleast 4 years ago)

Top: Banana Republic

Fave Belt: thrifted

Shoes: Carlos Santana

Yes, i wore this bedazzled skirt to work! I tried to dress it down with a classic button down. Did the croc wearing coworkers do a double take? Yes. Did I put an extra dip in my hip as I walked...YEP! HA!

I found a grafitti wall nearby and decided to snap a few pictures. I thought the building was abandoned but then I saw a garage door lift up! AAAHH! That explains the expression on my face...I set the timer, snapped a pic then hopped back in the car. I was trying to be creative because I seem to only have one pose...atleast I could give you some background scenery from time to time:) Can you tell that I love this belt?!?

Trench Jacket: Gap (last year?)

Daishiki: GOODWILL...(Yes it's a real daishiki too!)

Pants: Banana Republic

Striped Shoes: 9 West

Belt: Thrifted

Tuesday

Shirt: Banana Republic (I haven't worn this shirt in years!)

Skirt: Express ( I am not cheating either, I have ALOT of black pencil skirts)

Shoes: 9 West ( LOVE THESE)

Monday: See below post...this was a popular ensemble judging from the comments!

Also, scurry along to this blog and enter the TJ Maxx Gift card challenge...Tell her God's Favorite Shoes sent you too...So I can win something if you don't!

Did you do the challenge? How well did you do?

Do It My Darn Self!

It's Monday and I'm ready for Friday already. This will be short and sweet because it's naptime. I saw a picture of Janet Jackson at last week's Fashion Week festivities and loved the look to death. I knew immediately that I could throw that look together. For a second, I did say to myself that even I would have have shown a little more "cleavage" than Ms. Nasty but I get it...she was going for the school librarian look. The look also put me in the mind of Michele Obama.

So here is my version of the Sexy Librarian/Teacher look. We will call this segment D.I.M...NOT...D.I.Y...because I DID IT MYSELF!

Cardigan: Target

Skirt: Banana Republic
Shirt: Urban Outfitters
Shoes: 9 West

Bag: In Philly visiting my cousin Messa 5 yrs ago

The challenge is still going on...just thought would share my D.I.M with you:)

Challenge: Week 3

I made it through Week 3. It wasn't that hard to do. This "don't repeat any clothes for one month" challenge makes me find new ways to wear my clothes. I can't wait for the fall season to get here because I am ready to layer my clothes. That's kind of a joke, because Texas has only one season...HOT!

Here are the pics for Week 3:)
