I don't really know why I put the outfit details up... habit, I guess. Once again, these pictures were shot without flash under a construction flood light... but I hadn't learned yet that you have to be very still to get a clear picture. I wasn't going to put them up but they are pretty neat so, what the heck... It's a pity the outfit pics aren't clearer because when I put this outfit on, I thought to myself 'I could get a job in this'! And then I laugh. When I used to shop with my friend 'M', I would always buy clothes for potential interviews but deep down I think I knew I wasn't quite ready to really quit landscaping yet, and I just wanted more clothes. I'm so busted, I never use that excuse anymore.
So, as I can't blab on about my outfit as you can't really see it, I thought I'd finally do a '7 Random Things' post. I got tagged a few times a while back and because I'm a horrible person, I got kinda slack... Recently the lovely Joann from Sidewalk Chalk tagged me and so without further ado, here are 7 (as always, very) Random Things about me.
1. I have had a smoothie with bran every morning for breakfast for exactly two years. Simplest and best life change I ever made.
2. I can't parallel park. Well, maybe I can but I don't know because I'll never try it.
3. Matt can parallel park into the smallest spots with minimal effort. I kinda think that's hot...
4. It took me a while to get the hang of it, but I can back up a truck and trailer like a pro.
5. I still type with only two fingers... I know... awful! My lowest grade in highschool was 76% in typing, MODIFIED typing!
6. I am making the Mexican chicken slow-cooker recipe from Kyla tonight for dinner. Oh wait, what's that? It's already made and just needs to be plugged in? High five!
7. I cry about once a day. Not a bawl session, just a few dignified tears. It can be something I read in the paper, a commercial on tv or even a sad moment in a show that I don't even like... Matt calls them 'My cry of the day'.

I love all these things about you. I would never have guessed you cry once a day. Mmmmm, smoothies. Excellent.
xx
Cute! Love the outfit!
I can't parallel park either. I practice in our driveway.
I love these construction site photos. They make you seem so TUFF. Even though, apparently, you cry at the drop of a hat (as my mom used to say).
Love the construction photos.
The smoothie for breakfast sounds yummy.

i want sparkly tights!
and i like how you cry a little every day. theres some healthy-seeming about that.
Not so clear pictures is just a great excuse to wear a cute outfit again! It does look nice so I would love to see it.
I wish I could cry more often - I think it's a great outlet. Good for you!
I cant parallel park. My boyfriend can and I also think that's hot.
I also think it's hot when a man can parallel park. I can do it but I choose not to most times.
Crying is good... I love reading these things about you. Your outfit rocks. And I love that you used available light for these images. xoxo
You make the best discoveries at Old Navy. I've never even seen those sparkly tights at my Old Navy! I would have definitely bought a pair or two. And those boots are major.
I hear you on crying. It's not usually everyday but I cry at least a few times a week. I love that your husband has named it your cry of the day. Like you said, thank goodness for supportive husbands ;)
Well I can kind of parallel park, but I can't back a trailer. So that makes YOU kinda hot!
Love this outfit!! Those gloves give it an immense amount of sophistication!! :) I love your little random things! Crying every day over something sounds liberating! P.s. If I put together an online clothing swap of some sort (not sure of the details yet), but would you wanna be involved?? :)
I love these photos and that jacket! Truth: I suck at parallel parking, and I haven't even made an attempt to do it in over three years. I'm sure I'll eventually have to do it, but for now I'll just walk a little bit further to avoid it.
You are even awesomer than I thought! Love this photos no matter what. Enjoy your dinner!
These photos made my eyes hurt. No different from when I normally look at you...OHHHH DISS!
I hate it when you cry, making you cry is like eating a lemon...although I like lemons so maybe it is more like eating a pea. Either way it makes me feel like shit.
P.s. I was only kidding about you making my eyes hurt...please don't cry.
awesome pics! and i love your gloves.
u cry once a day too????? thought I was the only one :)
First of all, those gloves are super chic. Totally in love.
Secondly, I think you and I are secretly sisters. I can get panic attacks from the need to parallel park, especially when there is a lot of traffic. And I definitely need one cry a day.
These are great pictures, and I love your list of things. I also think that Joe's mad parking skills are supremely hot.
I love these shots on the construction equipment! What a great backdrop!
I may have to try a smoothie with bran....right now I am on a hot oats, soymilk, fresh berries, and cinnamon kick. A smoothie sounds delicious!
Aww yay, love your list of random things! I love these construction photos -- so much fun and so different! That scarf is such a gorgeous shade.
I can't parallel park either, and always am in awe of people who can do it well.

Although I can parallel park, but can't even back a car in a straight line, haha!
Love the contruction site shots!

Wish I could get around more so my outfit pictures wouldn't be all boring x) hehe.
