Day# 9

Happy Hump Day!

We are half through the week already, only a couple more days for the weekend!

I seriously struggled to get up this morning....couple more hours of sleep would have been awesome, but gotta get up and Hustle!

Tomorrow is the Sex and The City 2 premiere and I am stoked. Will be heading out later today to use up my allowable item of the month and find sumthing fabulous to wear for the event! It has been a whole week and I have not boughten a single item of clothing, withdrawals are certainly kicking in, no bueno!

On top of that "D" is stuck on the point of finding me a man, oh dear! Embarrassed me yesterday asking a random fellow at our corporate office if he was single and interested?! Kill me NOW I thought, worse case of all the guy is married....I turned around and walked the other way..how many times have they not tried to hook you up? Not the best feeling ever..

Here is the outfit of the day..as mentioned earlier, I stuggled getting up today, hence my outfit lacks creativity and thought...bummer!

Nautical Tuesday

Taco Tuesday it is!! Woke up feeling refreshed and fabulous, great dinner with the PA last night and the BFF returns today from the wonderful Fashion forward land, NYC! Today, the weather seemed to have cleared up a bit and I found use for a white skirt! Spring and Summer collections are out and we see the Typical Nautical pieces that come out. How can you resist those navy striped tees or red tops with cute gold buttons? Mostly impossible, just don't get caught looking like the 4th of July in May.

For you Younglings who are looking for a cute tee or a simple dress..two new stores have Opened! Delia's in Plaza Bonita..checked it out on Saturday...very inexpensive T-shirts and cardigans, very cute for summer..the next store is between Banana Republic & Victoria's Secret in Otay Ranch... can't remember the name, but stopped in and took a look on Thursday..if you're looking for a nice, unique dress, make sure to check it out..very boutique feel and their accessories bags are definitely Eye Candy!  

Monday Madness!!

WAKE UP!!!...at least mentally. Happy Monday in beautiful San Diego...Wow, what a weekend is all I can say. My deep voice this morning makes me feel like I finally went through puberty this weekend!

It was a Marathon, kicking it off with Mimis 30th bday.. followed with Sophie's 1st communion, movie and dinner with friends on saturday and my cousin "Di" , church..and dinner again with friends on sunday. Man oh man was it hard to get up and face Monday! Loved it though..

The end of the month is approaching and I still have not used up my clothing "allowance",  on the look out for the perfect dress for thursday..any ideas?

Here are the 3 outfits for the weekend and today's outfit as well..enjoy!

Happy Birthday Mimis!

 Yesterday, other than the great  Ride your Bike to work day...it was also a good friends Bday.

Happy Birthday to Mimis! So I actually used up two outfits for the day...which, ive been taking into consideration if i keep it up, I might get the 365 outfits in half a year...which means I have to double the mixes and the creativity...great!

On a different note, many friends have been asking about the prize or the reward after the challenge...Vacation, shopping Spree..? I must get creative. Also, along the way, I believe it would be wonderful to donate some clothes to some awesome organizations that help out women! Voice me your Opinions..I'm interested to hear what you have to say..here's last nights outfit!

Ride your Bike to work day!

Goooood Morning America! Ive been up since the crack of Dawn, Ouch! I was bribed with the fact that a handsome young man was waiting for me at the corner to help pass out water..fell for that one again!

Today is Ride your bike to work day...if i lived closer and owned a bike I would definitely join the cause..but since none of the previous two factors are true, I supported by showing up and taking pictures at the booth and handing out H2O for all those bikers, I gotta give them props!

Our charming and wonderful Mayor, as Sal calls her; "Her Majesty" Cheryl Cox, was present  along with her husband and also our supportive and great broker Joe showed up to root on those who decided to help out the environment and ride their bikes to work..or school. The Chula Vista YMCA crew, Pulse bike supply store  and of course my fabulous Ashlon Realty People...my Boss "Mrs.D" and Sal Representing the Team! woot woot!

This brings me down to the explanation of my Casual attire for the day...I have an excuse!

Black Thursday..with a Twist

Woke up and felt like wearing Black...got to the office and apparently black was on everyone's mind, or in the "moneymakers" case, its purple! Loving it... we can never get away from buying the "LBD"...but as an honest point, you can never have enough black dresses. Wearing them with a nice colored cardigan turns it into spring/summer attire and adding a collared button down woven underneath with a nice belt can convert it into fall/winter wardrobe in the months to come..work with what you have in your closet...(I have no choice) it will definitely have you getting the most out of your money.

I realized last night that i will actually have to come up with WAY more than 365 outfits during the challenge. Oh DEAR!...theres always that dinner after work..mixer during the week...weekend with the friends..and the Parties..dresses dresses!

I'm Excited to announce I will be attending a Premiere Mixer for Sex and the City 2 with a wonderful organization  called Dress for Success; which prepares women who have low-to no resources, with skills to have a successful job interview and get them that job that will pull them through their situation. Of course, presentation is the first impression that in some cases, depending on the job, can make you or break you. Dress for Success provides these women with the attire to look presentable and professional.

Parting with shoes is never easy, but I will go through my closet and will be making a donation of a pair of shoes or a handbag for this good cause at this mixer!! All in the Love of Fashion!

Here is the outfit of the day! 

Day # 2

Okay, second day and already panic has kicked in. I have two events before the end of the month, and with the restrictions I "accidently" put on myself..I have to pick and choose which event will get the oufit....the other one will receive a creative mix up of something I already have. My mother told me this morning she wants to see me control my shopping "urges". This will definitely be a killer...and no doubt  will be experiencing withdrawals soon...but im keeping a good attitude and interested to see what happens..

By the way, what is up with this SD weather...so out of sorts,  here is todays outfit...got the lightweight trench going on..but linen dress underneath..hopeful for some warm weather!

First Day of the Challenge

Browsing through my closet looking for empty space to place my purchases of the day, I came across the idea that I could probably go 365 days without repeating the same outfit twice. Yes, sad, yet intriguing...I took out some clothes and took them down to tijuana..yet the closet looks untouched.

Next morning, speaking with my all too "endearing" boss's husband, "D", he encouraged me to take up the challenge. Some restrictions will apply, I can repeat items, but not whole outfit. Shoes and accesories do not count as a different outfit.

As far as purchaes go...i will have to a limit it to one top/dress, one bottom and one outerwear item per month (not including accesories).

A picture will be taken and posted daily to keep track of progress and to make sure I do not find a loop hole lol..

We are still trying to find a "penalty" for repeated outfits...willl keep you posted....

wish me luuuck! :)

here is the first outfit of the challenge....
