Talk To Me!

Hey Talkers!

I'll start posting the next Talk to Me Tuesdays so you can auto publish yours if you like. I'm super excited about next week's! (You can thank Tab for the idea!)

This week's TTMT:

What are you looking forward to this Christmas season?

I'm looking forward to a break from work! I have a two week break from school and a few weeks off from photos. I LOVE doing photos but two full-time jobs is time consuming. Even when it's something that you love, it's work!

I'm looking forward to Christmas music (or continuing it). sleeping by the Christmas tree. mom's cooking. and (almost) homemade Christmas. I can't wait!!

Next Week's TTMT:

What are some of your favorite things? (Think Oprah)

remix | 21

Day 21. Again- feeling like a cheat with the stretchy pants. Definitely feels like a pajama day. Especially with an unbelted dress. Of course an unbelted dress means hiding in your room so you don't get the 'are you pregnant?' question. Or even worse, the 'are you finally pregnant?' question. Really guys- you really, really shouldn't ask that one. Ahem.

Day 21:

Scarf: Old Navy outlet on super clearance

Shirt dress: Old Navy (you guessed it... $8)

Shirt: Gap

Leggings: Kohl's

Socks: Target (they never get old. Wish I had them in more colors!)

Boots: Madden Girl (in case anyone had missed them... since I hadn't worn them in SIX days. shocking. no, really. I'm not actually being sarcastic. this time.)

Day 20

Day 20 of the remix. Another Thanksgiving get together. No stretchy pants this time. ;)

Shirt: Gap

Sweater: Gap

Necklace: {created by} heidi (remember this post?)

Jeans: Express

Shoes: Gap Outlet

remix 19

I actually did wear a hat (almost) all day today. So this photo isn't that deceiving. I did not, however, wear those shoes most of the day. (But pairing them with the outfit here makes it a legitimate remix day, right?) ;) In my defense- I was working. I generally do change into Toms for photo sessions. They are basically essential to my official work uniform. Or something like that.

Day 19 of 30.

Friday. Black Friday that is. Do you shop it? I've only tried once. Last year. I failed miserably and did not enjoy it one bit. Cyber Monday is much more my speed. We did have to venture out to Wal-Mart last night and it was comical to see the big deals all wrapped up in saran wrap with notes saying you couldn't purchase them until 12:01 am. Mom, Mo & I ventured out to Harvest Barn this morning. We spent the $50 gift card (speaking of which- I have free fudge for all you voters out there... stop by and get some!). There wasn't a crowd (were you expecting there to be?). Before heading home, I did a couple local photo sessions. It was so fun, as they were both returning clients. That's where the Toms come in. I really do need them for photo sessions. At least that's my excuse for wearing them when I inexcusably left them off my 30 list. Live and learn. Live and learn.

notes from the remix

Another (sort of) week down (yes I go in sets of 6 instead of weeks because they line up better in photoshop). This week I learned: I don't have to pack multiple options of clothing to go on short trips away from home. I like to wear boots in the winter. A lot. I like comfy pants. Too much. The camera is not as nice as the mirror.

catch up.... 17-18

I'm home. We had a good Thanksgiving. I have a million things to do around the house. A hundred blogs to read. But I'm remix posting instead.

And these two photos aren't really good ones (I'll explain soon) but they do represent that I did in fact put together outfits from my 30 on days 17 and 18.

Wednesday. Early out. Dodging ice on the drive to back home.

This photo is me questioning the ruffles/rags combo. As soon as I got to work I tucked the shirt in and opted to wear the belt around the waist instead. Ask LC- it looked better that way. :)

Thursday. Thanksgiving. Comfy pants a necessity. I didn't actually wear this hat. And I wasn't actually in this room. I R took this photo tonight after we got home. Yes- I grabbed those clothes out of the dirty laundry bag and threw them on for a 30/30 opt. Is there a dedication award that I'm now in the running for? ;) I'm hoping my shirt wasn't actually that wrinkled when I wore it the first time around. And my hair was definitely not that greasy. I hope.

so blessed.

Life. Family. Friends. Faith. Love. R. Kids. Food. Home. Work. Laughter. Technology. Blankets. Tickles. Color. Art. Niece. Nephews. Pumpkin Pie. Snuggles. Music. Mashed Potatoes. Smiles. Dakota. Grace. Forgiveness. Second Chances. New Beginings. Photography. Basketball. Fun. Touch. Love. Life. Blessings.

so thankful.

happy thanksgiving.
