a week of wardrobe. take two.

This is the second edition of my Week of Wardrobe feature. Two themes emerged as this week progressed. See if you can guess what they are...and I'll let you know if you're right at the end. =) (One is pretty obvious, and the other one is not so obvious.)

.:.:.Sunday.:.:.

b&w striped tank: American Eagle. green dress: handmade by me and Gramma. black cropped sweater: Dress Barn. vans: Plato's Closet.
It was a beautiful day out today with temperatures reaching just slightly into the 60's. I'm feeling a little sorry for my friends in Filth-a-delphia who probably still have a butt-ton of snow...but maybe you like that...and then I'm not sorry.

I decided to include Hosh today as well. This photo was snapped as he was on his way out to meet some friends from church for a bike ride.
D.A.R.E. T: thrifted/altered. shorts: J. Crew. vans shoes: WRV Surf Shop- VA Beach. beastly physique: frequent climbing on the bouldering wall.

.:.:.Monday.:.:.

(I had to document the outfit of the day, but I really wasn't in the mood for photos and Hosh wasn't really in the mood for taking photos. My apologies.)

polka-dot dress: 'Thrift Store'- NN, VA. pink string: Goodwill- Yardley, PA. shoes: gift from Mamba.

It is a monumental day in history. "Why?", you might be asking. Well, I'll tell you why. I wore these heels all day long. Yes, I know. Very impressive. There are two main reasons why I choose not to wear heels on the regular. Number 1: I am not a small woman. At 5'8", I tend to feel like an amazon when wearing heels and towering over most men. Number 2: My calves do not need any extra attention drawn to them, and that is precisely what heels do for me. However, I felt like these shoes were the best option for the outfit today, so I decided to brave the consequence.

(Woof, woof!) What's that? (Woof. Woof!) Oh, I have to go! My dogs are barkin'. =)

.:.:.Tuesday.:.:.

zebra striped dress: Ross. black cropped sweater: Dress Barn. opaque tights: Wal-Mart. lace-up pumps: Wal-Mart.

Regs, Addster and I had a date tonight to see Christopher Newport University's orchestra performance featuring my good friend Nicklaus. The performance was great (!) and I'm still kicking myself for missing the first half of the Hungarian Rhapsody due to my stupid bladder. Today's outfit (heels and all) lasted me all day through work and fun--from 7:45am until 10pm. Long day? Yes. Comfy outfit? Surprisingly, yes.

.:.:.Wednesday.:.:.

polka-dot dress: Gap. sweater: American Eagle. scarf: CHKD Thrift Store- Newport News, VA. hose: Wal-Mart. brown shoes (that should be thrown away): Target.

This outfit successfully made the transition from work today into youth group tonight. My co-workers commented on my boldness and daring clothing choices, and the kids at youth group commented on my cool clothing factor. I'm so honored.

After youth group, Regs and Aaron came over to climb for a bit in the game-room. Regs and I made a super-sick climbing mix too.

Hosh found a tag on the floor from the crash-pad that we've been using for probably a month now. He was baffled.
...and this species of monkey is native to the Carolinas... Oops! That'd be Aaron. :]

This was my second long day in a row, and I was getting pretty tired towards the end there.

.:.:.Thursday.:.:.

dress: Dress Barn (gift from Ma). shoes: Payless. hose: Wal-Mart.

On every other day I'd say, "Death to hose!!," but this day was not like every other. I found some new hose the other day at Wal-Mart and my view on hose has been changed forever.

.:.:.Friday.:.:.

(self-timer photos)

'Casual Friday' shirt: BayPort Credit Union. skirt: hand-me-down from aunt DJ. hose: Wal-Mart. Doc Marten's: Salvation Army- Langhorne, PA.

Friday was another long day (with a boring outfit--eww!). The credit union is open for an extra half-hour on Fridays, and we celebrated Pop and Nini's birthday at Gram & Papa's afterwards. I was extremely happy when it came time to change into comfy clothes.

tank: Kohl's. plaid pj pants: Sweet T. boots: Minnetonka (they do double-duty as slippers every night in the frozen tundra that is my mother's house).

This picture was taken around 10pm and I was in the bed quite shortly afterwards.

.:.:.Saturday.:.:.

polka-dot coat: Dress Barn. white T: Old Navy. skinny jeans: Wal-Mart. coral pumps: Payless.

I spent most of Saturday in my room in pajamas working on a craft project, but I did go out on Saturday night. Nicklaus got us tickets to go see the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas at Christopher Newport University. The production was amazing, but there was unnecessary foul language. I'm not usually bothered at all by foul language (except a couple words I CANNOT stand), but this was just unnecessary and I couldn't imagine Dolly Parton would've approved.

Ok, that was my Week of Wardrobe. Did you guess the themes? I pegged this week as "Dress Week" and "Long Days". Five out of seven days this week I wore a dress (or a skirt), and on at least three days I wore my outfit for at least 14 hours or more (heels and all). Pretty impressive, ay?

I'm off now to craft(!), listen to Mother Mother- O My Heart and drink some coffee. Oh baby!

Lerv, lerv.

UPDATE: Two other bloggers have been inspired to feature their very own Week of Wardrobe. You can check out my Mamba's here and Kate's here. Woot woot!!!

(I'm only slightly concerned that the two of them will do a better job than I have and show me up at my own game...eek.)
