Feelin' Feminine Challenge Day 4

A lounge around the house and watch David Copperfield kind of day, didn't go out.
Top: Long sleeved light pink sweater from GAP
Robotics sweater
Bottom: Very cool denim skirt from Style J (see side bar for link)
Hair: I wore it down today, which I don't normally do.  The waves and curls are the result of the bun-type-thing yesterday

Feelin' Feminine Challenge Day 3

Tuesday I wore two outfits, because of what we had to do.  In the morning, at our homeschool co-op I wore the denim skirt below, again, from good will, and a olive polo shirt with a tan sweater.  Then, since I was giving a speech at our Eloquentia Gavel Club, I had to change.  I wore the same brown skirt as Monday, and a pink striped button down.  Sorry about the poor pictures, but it was quite a dreary day, and I couldn't take picture till we got home.
Morning:
Top: Polo Shirt from Walmart
Beige sweater from Khols
Bottom: Denim skirt from Goodwill (Lauren Jean Co. a branch of Ralph Lauren)
Hair: Shoved up into a messy-bun right after a shower

Feelin' Feminine Challenge Day 2

Todays outfit just came together, I got up early, and didn't get dressed till nine, but I didn't feel like posting my pajamas. Just Kidding!

Top: Brown pleated blouse with turquoise flowers over a almost matching T-shirt (It is too big, so I have to safety pin the back, or else I'll look 3 months pregnant)
Bottom: New favorite skirt from Goodwill!  Fine brown corduroy in 8 gores from Eddie Bauer. *so comfortable*
Hair: Half Pony

And a couple more pictures, just because getting any decent self portraits is an accomplishment!
