Day 20: Gray Skies Are Gonna Clear Up

Yes, there is still a red dress under there. Its been cold and rainy for days now, so I've been over using my jeans. They are what I wear everyday every other month of the year, after all. I've gotten into a very comfortable rhythm, and I'm really enjoying not really having to think about the core of each outfit. This red dress really was the best choice for me, because the rest of my wardrobe really is pretty neutral.

Day 19: Please Don't Die, Red Dress!

Sorry for the sad state of this photo, I didn't have a photographer today. I rather liked the effect of the white button down blouse under the dress, with jeans of course.

I have noticed some wear on my dress. Apparently, washing is what's wearing out our clothes, not wearing them. Ok, my logic is flimsy, but I'm sticking with it. I really think if I wasn't washing this dress so often, I'd get more wear out of it. I can't be sure, but I think the color is fading, there's a seam threatening an ugly episode, and the zipper's looking wonky. Both the fading and the zipper are the result of washing, I think. Rest assured I'm not beating the clothes on rocks down by the river, I have an HE front loader, and I use homemade detergent that is, theoretically, sans fillers. Maybe it's the dryer? If we get some clearer sunny days, I may line dry and see if that helps. Hang on dress, 12 days to go!

Day 18: Back to School

I had my husband snap a quick picture as I was off to class. Its chilly today, so my brown wool sweater makes its debut. Enough people are in on my project now, that I get comments on the dress pretty frequently. As far as I can tell though, most people don't care what I wear. (I think that's the big bad secret of the fashion industry, shhhh!)

Day 17: Recycling

I have a full schedule today, and so I recycled the above outfit. I forgot to take a picture, so I used the one from the last time I wore it. I swear that's what I wore.

Day 16: We Moved to Oregon

Ok, we didn't really move to Oregon. But with drizzle-y weather, we like to pretend. Nothing much new in my outfit today, but I'm still loving the cooler weather!

Day 15: I wandered lonely, as a cloud...

Lovely overcast day! My dear friends the clouds are back, and as all my friends at our local homeschool park day shivered, I, in my many layers was quite comfortable! In fact the weather calls for cooler days all this next week, which can only mean good things for me and this dress!

Day 14: There Is More Than One Way To Skin a Cat!

I am an Allied Health student: If you feel strongly about animal dissection, you should just note how cute I look, and move on to tomorrow's post!

Today my outfit will forever be known as the outfit I skinned a cat in. As my lab partner (who did most of the work, thanks girl!) cut into our cat, I seriously considered that perhaps my lab work should merit a wardrobe exception. In case you haven't read my FAQ's , there are some exceptions to wearing this dress everyday: workout clothes, bathing suits and pajamas. I may need to add a lab work outfit to that. I mean, I did have a lab coat, but still, eewww! And, since there are roughly 8 groups in our lab... there definitely IS more than one way to skin a cat. I'm just saying.
