Winter Remix - Day 14

I'm glad I made a cheat-sheet outfit guide at the beginning of this 30 for 30 challenge. I started the day by putting my fox dress on first and my sweater on over it but something didn't feel right... I looked at my notebook sketch and there was a convenient little side note telling me to try the sweater under the dress. The sweater is hard to get over my head all my hair so I did a little switch where I slid my arms out of the sweater and dress, shimmied the dress down to my waist, pulled the sweater down and slid the dress back over it. Whew!
It's not normally how I'd wear a sweater and a dress but I guess that's the purpose of remixing.

Winter Remix - Day 13

Do the masses determine normalcy?
I consider myself a [fairly] normal gym-goer but recent trips to the gym are making me question my sanity.
In the locker room I put on training pants, a workout top, supportive undergarments, and cross trainers before hitting the cardio floor... others wear boxer briefs, swim trunks, metallic hi-tops, fringed shorts, big hoop earrings and/or sheer leggings.
I must be the strange one, right?


I'm not saying you have to look your best while sweating it out on the elliptical but I would think one's gym attire should be functional... and appropriate.

That 70s Couch

Today is St. Valentine's Day. I woke up and had an unusual urge to look out the window. The clouds were pink. Cotton candy pink. Happy Valentine's Day to me!
[and you too]
These 70s inspired couches appeared in my office building today. We were wearing the same color and fabrication. Someone got the memo about me wearing mustard [more like spicy brown mustard] and corduroy today. Besties?

Winter Remix - Day 9

I'm wearing two belts. One to hold up my pants and one to hold my sweater closed... which is also holding my scarf down. 
I feel very confined.
It's also very warm in my office today.
Off with the scarf and the secondary belt...

See... told ya. I'm too tired to even stand up while taking my outfit snapshots...
Not really. The carpet in my office matches my sweater.

Winter Remix - Week 1 Review

I've been so hectic that I've hardly noticed week 1 was done.
I thought I'd have more time to blog during the day... but it turns out if I stay up past my [self-imposed] "bed time" I can fit in more things at night. I'm just crankier in the morning... and during the day... well okay, more than usual.

Winter Remix - Day 7

Can you tell I'm ready for spring? I knew I wanted to add color to this season's remix but I'm still getting used to it.

I consider myself a pretty busy lady - full time job, side business, social life, gym membership - so this 30 day remix is actually helping me save some time each day. It's like picking a frozen entree to take to work for lunch instead of cooking something. All the prep work is done and there's no wasted energy on the ingredients and cooking time... the ingredients being the clothes and the cooking being the process of trying on and searching for outfits.


Bad analogy?
It works for me. That's why I remix.
