    Animal print, tags, and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

      First of all: yes. I am wearing a Christmas shirt in the summer. Shut up, I like it. And you can’t really tell in real life unless you stare at my chest for long enough to be considered creepy. I just felt like being a little quirky today, to tell the truth. And there was this one article in InStyle where someone paired a printed skirt with a tee shirt, and I haven’t done that in a while, so voila! I only have like three graphic tees, and this is one of them. I know, my outfit-planning is so detailed… Second: Marie tagged me, and since I haven’t done that…

    Yesterday, we were too lazy to go anywhere to take pictures. The whole day was kind of lazy, and neither of us wanted to make the effort to find a better location. So, this is my driveway, where we spent about twenty minutes taking somewhat frustrating pictures because Mr. Owl’s camera was going wonky, and then afterwards we went back inside where I changed into my (newly purchased) really comfortable exercise pants and we played Donkey Kong on the Wii and then watched Captain America. Yes, I know. I lead a glamorous life. I bought a few new skirts on Saturday on an impromptu thrifting trip. This one in particular…

    Red, white, and nerdiness

    I am really excited about today’s post, because for this post I wore my very first sponsor item: a lovely hand-printed scarf from my newest sponsor, Quotation Marks. I was very happy when she offered me a scarf with a quote of my choice in red print, because red is my favorite color… and it meant I could be very, very nerdy with a scarf. As well, it was the perfect timing to receive a scarf! The first two days of summer here were wonderful and warm, but then the weather went back to its typical Washington-ness and we got lots of rain. So by the time I got this scarf, it…

    30×30: Day 7

    I’m having a really hard time remembering which pictures were taken on which days, since I don’t post my photos right away, and this week they’re all out of order,  and sometimes I can’t download them for a few days from Mr. Owl’s card. So I’m fairly certain this is day seven, but I could be wrong. Although, going through my Facebook 30×30 album (which has outfits that didn’t make it to the blog), day seven is the only logical day for this outfit. I just remember this as the day I had a lot of trouble with my skirt. Trouble in the form of… you know… wind. I really…

    30 Days of Dresses: Day One.

    It’s time to start 30 Days of Dresses! I meant to start mine on Saturday, but then Mr. Owl and I went on a hike. And I haven’t mastered the art of hiking in a dress. (There was snow at the top. We slid on the way down.) So I started yesterday instead. Fun fact: the last time I remember wearing this dress, it was summer. And I had a tan. I miss summer. I want it to come back. If any of you want to join my friend Sarah and I, please do! I got a lot of comments (that I have yet to reply to, shame on me!)…
