DAY 21


Its officially summer!!!!
So, its another Monday. Ugh. But here's the thing, today I woke up before my alarm to the sound of happy little birds and the sun shining on my face. It was almost Disney-like....almost.

I just about wore the same skirt today that I wore yesterday. (OMG!) And usually this would not be an issue, but this challenge is making me a little diva-esque and I decided that I should wear a different skirt.
Luckily, I have this super summer-y one from C'est Sera. I bought it during the Fringe last year as I was spending the whole day seeing shows, and it was too hot for what I was wearing. Sweaty and crabby, I walked into their store and spied this white cotton skirt with cutout details. I bought it on the spot and wore it out of the store feeling so much cooler (in temperature and style) and way less crabby. With it, I just have a cheap-o t-shirt from Suzy or Ricki or some mall store, but I think it works.
It saddens me that i will be spending the entire +26 day inside, but gotta pay those bills I suppose. But I have a big window here at work, so at least I can still see how nice it is outside....
(my world view, outside my office window)
To cheer myself up, I am wearing my sunshine yellow peep-toe pumps from Who Cares? (yes thats the name) It is impossible for me to be in a bad mood when I wear these shoes.

DAY 20





Its Monday, and I'm at work. And instead of doing actual work, I figured it was a perfect opportunity to do a lil bloggin'. Even thought I had plenty of time yesterday to blog, I spent the entire day outside in the sunshine! I was wearing this flirty silk skirt from Neiman Marcus that I scored on their "Last Call" clearance sale (plus a employee discount) for about $20. Its hard to tell in this photo, but its white with tiny black polk-a-dots. Cute. Only problem is that when I stand with my back to the sun, you can pretty much see right through this skirt. But whatever, so you can see the silhouette of my legs, you aint gonna see the good stuff.....Im wearing Spanx

Oh, and this tank is from the last time Clutch played a show here in Edmonton. Its a true statement....I ♥ Clutch.

I then hopped on my bicycle and peddaled across the river over to the Empress to share in some summertime beverages with the girls (Tron, Halen, Mel... trust me they are girls). Oh and of course Halen and I had to make a pit stop at Coney Island Candy store where I stocked up on some sours and a PayDay chocolate bar. (Just cuz I work for Weight Watchers, doesn't mean I can't have sweet chocolate-y treats) Halen got some fancy Whoppers, while Tron and Mel didn't get any candy, they stopped for hot dogs and by the time they got to the candy store, it was closed :(
Then it was time to bike home and enjoy the sunset on my deck (and do some laundry) (Side bar: biking in a skirt is probably one of the most liberating experiences ever. So freeing, I highly recommend it!!)
