Monday Monday

Today 100% felt like a Monday.  It was a very dreary day weather-wise in Portland which also didn't help, but luckily my pal Justine and I hung out after work which made the day more fun.   She was sweet enough to go grocery shopping with me, not always a huge task, but tonight it definitely was a long grocery list.  I made us chicken noodle soup for dinner, and then we watched the Bachelor.  Do you watch the Bachelor? Who is your favorite?

25 & 26

Today has been a very lazy day, so much in fact that I only checked one thing off of my long to-do list.  I think that's ok for a Sunday though, I like Sunday's to be relaxing.  I did however, just get done watching the Oscar pre-show, and have to say that I loved Gwyneth Paltrow's dress with the exception of the brooch, and my least favorite outfit was Reese Witherspoon's.  I think Reese's outfit looked like something I would have seen at a high school dance several years ago.  What were your hits and misses on the red carpet?

The Lost Outfit

As I was going through my photos in preparation for a challenge wrap-up, I noticed that I didn't post an outfit photo.  Although this outfit was simple, I think that it is one of my favorites from the challenge.  Anything that includes a blazer, striped shirt, and boots can't be bad right?

Finally Friday

I'm partial to believe that "short" work weeks actually feel longer than a normal workweek.  I am so happy that it's finally Friday!  Also, calories don't count on Friday's right? I hope so because I have eaten more Girl Scout cookies today than I'd like to admit.  Although I was a Girl Scout drop out, I always feel sucked in to buy at least one box of Thin Mints and they are so delicious!

Also do you like how my cat has become my most common "accessory."  He just can't help but include himself in my pictures.  (In the second picture he's trying to attack my hand.)

Scarf Organization

It took me quite awhile to find the perfect solution to organize my scarfs, but now I finally have it and it takes up only a little bit of closet space.  If you don't have that many scarfs, this organizer could also work for belts.  I think that I bought my tie rack at either Target, but they probably have them at any store like Target.  I also put my least worn scarfs on the bottom pegs so that I know my favorites are on top and more easily accessible.

P.S. because of the snow, and the fact that I worked from home today, and therefore didn't get out of my workout clothes, I don't have an outfit post for today.

Black & White Stripe

To most people in the Northwest, it's not really a surprise that the weather was sunny, hailing, rainy, and snowy all in one day.  What's even less surprising is how the threat of a "snowpocalypse" is generally downgraded on the day it was to happen.  That's how today was, it was forecasted for Portland to receive up to seven inches of snow, and while the day isn't over yet it's not looking that way.  I have to admit, I was looking forward to working from home tomorrow in my PJ's (hopefully it will snow a lot tonight).

P.S. Can you believe that there are only seven days left of the challenge?  It seems to have flown by this time around!

Outfit Crush

 {The Vogue Diaries}

I have to admit, I've watched almost every movie that Amanda Bynes has acted in, as well as her TV shows including All That.   Even though this picture isn't the best, I love the simplicity of her outfit.  I've been seeing these ballet flats pop up on various blogs and even at Gap, and they will definitely be added to my spring/summer clothing wish list.
