Days 25 - 30, Irrational Fear



I tried to find who said this because it sounds like something someone famous would have said, but no such luck.  I posted it anyway.  I really like this quote.  I mean... it has two ways of looking at getting dressed in the morning.  One way is to always wear a "good" outfit because you never know what may happen.  The other is (and this is how I see it) to dress well and make sure every day is not insignificant.  I have this fear that my life will be completely insignificant, except for my kids.  I think it's why I shop, to make me feel more important maybe.  Kind of a "the more you have the better you'll feel" complex.  Not a good complex to have my friends.  I guess it's better than having a drinking or gambling problem though, right?  And, is it really a problem if it's under control?  I don't know.  I do know, it's day 31 and I haven't bought anything new!!!  Yay me!!!




Day 25, Wed. January 30th.  Wednesday is kind of a dress down day in the office.  We can't wear jeans unless the boss says we can, but we don't have to get all gussied up either.  So, I chose to wear my favorite cargo pants and this black sweater.  Simple, comfortable and still nice.



Day 26.  Thur. January 31st.  I love brown and tan but I don't have a lot of it.  Most of my closet is black and gray.  I would say I should go buy some more brown, but I can't do that now, can I? 





Day 27, Friday, Feb. 1st.  Yet another shade of gray...



Day 28, Saturday, Feb. 2nd. Had the day off from Bailey's and got to have a girls night out.  I had a black shrug on with this tank but after a few songs on the dance floor with my girls, I needed to take it off.  Looking at the size of my arms in this picture, maybe I should have kept it on.  I had on dark jeans and my black stilettos with silver studs.  Yeah, I'm hot.  Hahahaha.



Day 29.  Sunday, Feb. 3rd.  I worked at Bailey's for the Superbowl.  Same outfit as last week.  Ref shirt and shorts.
 



Day 30, Monday Feb. 4th.  Love this sweater cover thing.  It's very light weight and the color goes with black or brown.  It's so unique though I don't wear it often.  But I guess that's the purpose of this project, to not wear the same things very often.  And to save my bank account.  And to feel some since of accomplishment.  And so on and so on...
