Week in iPhone photos.
My sister in law always does a photo recap of her week in iphone photos. I love the idea, and I have about a million photo apps on my phone. So, I decided to put them to use and join in. Here is last week in iphone photos!

Day 19: Black and Tan.
I can’t believe how quick December flies by! I feel like it was Thanksgiving yesterday. I’m not quite ready for Christmas yet!!!! at all. I’m trying to keep up. I’m working on handmade Christmas gifts with my sister this week. We are about 3/12 ‘s of the way done… This could get tricky. Hopefully we can pull it off. We just need a few good movies, some tea and a couple more free nights.
Yesterday was pretty rainy. It was the kind of day I wish I had an umbella or a good hooded coat. My skirt fabric is very absorbent. Not the best thing to wear on a rainy day. On my lunch break I ran to Trader Joe’s before stopping for a few quick pics. Well, as soon as I parked at TJ’s it started to pour. So I was all sprinkled with rain. I dried off a bit and went to this spot under a tree. I guess as I was setting my camera up on the trunk of my car, my skirt was just sitting there soaking up the rain on my bumber. Smooth move….

I realize the jacket isn’t on my 30. But, it qualified as my coat yesterday…
Day 18: Choo Blue
I am supremely jealous of everyone who is all of the way through the 30 days and done with the challenge. I have been loving the remixers blogs and many of the people who have and are participating in the challenge still. So much so, that I have basically stopped reading all other blogs I am subscribed to :/ I go straight to the 30 for blogs section of my reader first. I am 10-15 posts behind on all the other blogs I read. oops. It’s just been really fun to see what everyone is coming up with. I plan to do a little 30×30 favorite outfits collection post eventually.
I made ANOTHER trade. There is a jacket and a blouse I still haven’t worn, so I brought in these boots. I kind of suck at the remixing. I’m already thinking about another trade. And, today, I’m wearing a repeat outfit of this: http://www.krustal.com/2010/11/11/day-4-my-only-one/, but with my cardigan.
This was from Friday. I wore this to work, but removed the belt and threw on flats for an ornament exchange party I attended with my best girlfriends in the evening. I was very Choo’d out. My scarf and Belt are from the Jimmy Choo for H&M line that Sarah, Steph and I literally fought for (http://www.krustal.com/2009/11/17/choo/) I hadn’t worn this belt yet. But, I LOVE it. I just worry it’s a bit too intense for most of my activities. Work, playing with small children, etc. It is still a great belt. I plan to get more use out of it from now on.

Wishlist.
I’m really not spoiled selfish brat. Just bored, while waiting on something. So, what better way to pass the time than making a Christmas wishlist.I love wishlists, regardless of whether or not I intend to get anything on it. Here’s mine right now:
STEVEN by Steve Madden Women’s Intyce Riding Boot: Shoes, $104
BOOTS. Ah, the coveted Steve Madden Intyce boots. I want them in Grey (and Black). I keep looking them over but never make the purchase. I’m really bad at making purchases on single items over $100. I tense up. I should have bought them, or at the very least, THESE, by now.
UrbanOutfitters.com > Minnetonka Cally Slipper, $38
Moccasin Slippers! I wanted a pair at Old Navy, that were $14, but I decided to wait to purchase them on Black Friday since I knew we were going and they could potentially be much cheaper!
Well, of course they were gone, and they appear to have sold out online as well.… Grrr! I did find a pair at DB Shoes for $25. Petty steep for slippers. Kind of ridiculous. So the hunt continues.
PATRIK, $199
I do intend on buying the chair, after Christmas. I LOVE that chair. I think I’m finally going to go for it. I am becoming more and more aware of how much I do really need a proper chair for my sewing area. My cheap dining chairs and standing is getting brutal on the feet and back. I’d love a chair to adjust desk height to bar height. And, while any desk chair could potentially do the trick. The Patrik is the chair I’ve been lusting after for some time. I enjoy decorating, so the chairs design is just as important as its function. And just look at dear Patrick. He’s a beauty.
I will eventually invest in an adjustable dress form. I’m still iffy when it comes to the sizing of them. For it to be my size, I’d have to get a medium, and I think I’m on the way end of the range for the medium. But the idea of getting the adjustable dress form if to have a wider option of sizes and I’d like to have larger sizes as well. So, I really don’t know where I stand on it yet. More research to do, I suppose. My skinny mini non existent waist decorative dress form will have to do until I figure it out.
Magnetic Pin Cushion : pin cushions : pins & needles : sewing &…
-A magnetic pin tray/cushion would be amazingly helpful while sewing. I always end up with piles of pins next to my machine.
I want a tan/camel/light brown coat pretty bad. And I love this Gap one. The collar is fantastic.
-Other little things I’ve had my eye on:
Lab Partner Dress, $65

-The Lab Partner Dress from Modcloth, I just love the colors!
-And The ASOS Buckle bag I have been wanting for some time. I may end up buying it eventually.
-Some sewing books, on making your own clothes and patterns, and the Sew Darn Cute one -Emily picked out a while back. I keep meaning to pick it up. The Cary Grant biography, I would love to read and own. I <3 Cary!
-A Hand vacuum! I will be buying one of these soon.
-Mad Men DVDs. Anything available. I’ve seen all of season 1 and 2, but want to recap and catch up. The Chronological Donald DVDs. I already have Volume 4! Just need the rest.
Okay, this list is long! Time to start saving!
Day 16: Comfort wins
Well, I came a littttle close to throwing in the towel yesterday. I took another break over the weekend when I went out of town. And got back and began to write this post:
“Well, I may or may not be posting more 30 for 30 outfits. Today is probably the 5th day since I’ve started that I couldn’t get out and take photos. So, I really am a bit farther than is documented… But, the reason behind potentially stopping after today is, I straight up MISS MY CLOTHES!!!! So, as far as I have gotten has been successful, I’d say. I keep thinking up outfits I want to wear! and none of the items are in my remix 
I’ve been so inspired by what other people are putting together with such a limited wardrobe. I might just be one of those people who just needs a ton of clothes at my disposal at all times.”
I have since changed my mind. I do really want to finish it out. I got a second wind, I guess. Just in time since I’m about half way through. I need to backtrack here one day when I have the time and post a few outfits that I wasn’t able to photograph over the last couple weeks. Hopefully, I can figure something out.
Here are a few poor photos of Monday’s outfit. Maybe this should be added to the re-shoot stack… Linley mentioned posting outtakes last night. And, I feel like that’s all these are. Even though I do have worse. I’ll post them later.
My outfit is not exciting. But, I do like it. It’s comfy, and I was coming back to work after a 3 day weekend trip away having a blast. So, comfort won. It usually does.
Blouse: Gap
Skinny jeans: Old Navy
Boots: Express
I need motivation and inspiration to keep going. I will be looking for it today!
PS. looks like today’ photos will involve rain! I can’t decide if I am discouraged or excited. I secretly think it will be sort of fun. If it’s not a total disaster.
Day 15: Patriotic Plaid
So far today has been a bit cruddy. A tire blew out on the freeway on my way into work. That wasn’t fun. I do not like being stranded on the freeway! High stress. Anyhow, I hit a few more bumps in the road and annoyances throughout my day today. But, it quickly turned around after a visit and 7-11 treat drop off from Emily and Stephanie, (complete with an iced mocha, a pumpkin spice latte, a pack of hostess donettes, a scratcher, and a lottery ticket), and some chatting with Mario and Lisa. I’ll never under estimate the effectiveness of just simply having a friend to chat to. It always helps perk me up.
I was very red, white and blue yesterday. I wore a coat over this and was still pretty cold all day.

Day 13: Cocoa
I’m a bit behind… poo. I didn’t really get dressed over the weekend. I basically holed myself up at home a sewed. I made myself a dress to wear to my High School reunion! It came out decently (although, it could be better). I’m pretty stoked to get dressed up and wear it! But, other than sewing I ran to Target or the grocery store. No outfit photos… I tend to get really caught up in a project whenever I’m sewing. I forget to do anything else (eat, use the restroom, answer texts, etc) I completely zone out. I think I am either super into it, or I’m just really trying to use ever last second I have free to sew. Since, it’s hard to get a good block of time to work on things. Whatever it may be, I’m enthralled with the process and my craft.
I wore this yesterday (Monday). I forgot a jacket and was kicking myself all day. Because, despite the clear sky, and apparent sun, it was really cold. Well, for me. I’m a wimp in the cold. So, note to self: Don’t forget a jacket!!!!

ps. I didn’t get an outfit pic today, and possibly won’t tomorrow. hmmm, either have to do an indoor fashion show later in the evening for both days, or call them a wash. I really want to finish sooner rather than later. eh, we’ll see.
Day 12: an iPhone outfit photo.
Trying to catch up a tad.
Here is Friday’s quick, pretty boring outfit.

Day 11: Rusty
I can’t believe it’s already Thursday. This week has flown by. I think an exciting Monday night helped contribute to quick week. ALSO!!!!! This morning at 7 am, my girlfriend Laura gave birth to her 2nd baby boy!!!! AND, I get to go meet him tonight. Very soon in fact. I have been pretty excited since I heard the news, and I think looking forward to something so exciting just made my day fly! Because it has. I’m leaving here in about 30 minutes to go kiss his sweet face.
A chill is starting to roll in here. It was finally about cold enough to wear a pair of tights! I love tights. I stocked up on some great patterns for this season. But, today I went with plain ol’ black and a pair of knee high socks.
Shirt: Old Navy
Skirt: Made by me! (while I love the color, the quality of this fabric is, meh. Still don’t feel skilled enough to splurge on fancier fabrics. I’ll get there)
Boots: Express
tights: Betsey Johnson via TJ Maxx
knee high socks: Target
Belt: Target
I still plan to swap a few unworn remix items and update it here. My internet was out last night for days, and I never got around to posting it after I fixed it. Hopefully tonight I’ll get to it.
Day 10: Cherry on top.
Happy Wednesday! The week is already half over! Weeee. Tonight I get to watch Dateline: A Royal Love Story, and a new Law & Order: SVU. I’m pretty pumped for TV tonight. Even though my childhood and teenage dreams of marrying Prince William and becoming a princess are now officially shattered, I’m super excited to watch all the excitement coming up, surrounding the royal wedding next year. Kate Middleton is such a classy lady and I love that William gave her Princess Diana’s engagement ring. Very special and very sweet. Anyone else pumped to watch all the excitement? Surely, most ladies my age are.
I have all kinds of designs and ideas looming in my head today for various sewing projects. I started jotting them down on a notepad that I have here. I really wish I had time to work on these things when I get these surges of motivation and creativity. But, it almost ALWAYS happens while I’m at work in the middle of the afternoon. And I can’t very well get up and go sew. Maybe someday…. Hopefully, the surge lasts long enough for me to get home in about 4 hours and get to it. We shall see.
I Love the red top I’m wearing today. I had never worn it before, and It was added to my remix pieces late. I actually switched a pair of flats out for it. And, I may be making 2 more switches of items I have not yet worn, and likely will not. Will update that tonight. I made a few poor choices and I am seeing that now. I guess I’m not cut out for this. But, I’m going to make a switch or 2 tonight and keep trucking through it. Because, really I am having fun with it.
