Wardrobe Challenge: Day ????

Well so much for keeping track & up to date on this Wardrobe Challenge of mine! The move was a big hiccup in it, but I've had some time on my hands recently so its back to the grind, or something like it. I recently came upon a scarf I HAD have. I love the color and the antique feel to it. Well I've been cheating and not sticking to the items of clothing I've set aside to wear for the Challenge, (the move has not allowed me to do so) but finally got back with the program today. I brought my new scarf together with a Downeast shirt I haven't worn in forever. And I mean, FOREVER! Im not a pink person and this one is pretty close to it, its more of a peachy/coral tone, but dont be deceived by the picture, its NOT pink! But because of the closeness it keeps me from wearing it (back in college FOREVER ago when I bought it I loved it, but tastes and styles always change.) Well, without further ado, heres the outfit!The gray cardigan is probably my favorite piece of my whole wardrobe. It goes with everything, makes something so simple look great, and is uber comfortable. Overall, I loved the outcome. I felt like all the colors worked together and at the end of the day I finally felt good about my pinkish shirt. So, I'm keeping it...contingent upon me actually wearing it again in a reasonable amount of time of course.
I still haven't posted about my first week of the Challenge, hopefully coming soon.

Look at what I've been up to!

I always have something in my way of updating this blog, this time around it being a move back to Idaho Falls. And man oh man, its finally done! I found a job, not an ideal one, but one that pays real good and has health insurance, good health insurance people! Its been 6 months since I had any, and even then I only had it for a month. I have a potential medical problem that could affect me in a big way and have desperately needed to go to the doctors but didnt have the money for it, and am sooo glad to finally be able to get it hopefully taken care of. But enough of this serious stuff, I have something fun to share! Back in Missouri I tried starting jewelery making but never had time to really get into it with all the house remodeling. But since Ive moved to laid back good ol' Idaho, I have had SO much fun with it! And I have some pictures to prove it. I took advantage of a beautiful day and the awesome snow left on the trees to showcase what Ive done, I think they turned out pretty cool. Well, enough chit chat, here they are:(this one's my favorite. not the earings, but the shot.)

I haven't decided which piece of jewelery is my favorite just yet, but I discovered a bead store that I have totally fallen in LOVE with, Pandora's Bubbles and Beads from which I found some stones I know are going to make my new favorite piece. I walked in today just to take a look, and walked out with some jade stones that are gorgeous, Im so excited to make a necklace and earings out of em! Whats so neat about the store is the owner travels all over the world and brings back the most beautiful beads and stones. Its going to be my new play ground that I know I will be spending way too much time at, but everyone needs an outlet and I have certainly found mine.
Well, that does it for now. As for an update on my Wardrobe Challenge, the move has put a halt on it temporarily, but I have been able to get rid of a sweater, not officially yet. I have a fun idea on just how to get rid of it. It will involve people who read this, whoever you are. Speaking of which, someone who did read my last post is none other than someone who's blog I am following, Elaine from Clothed Much!! I was so stoked!! She pretty much has the most awesome fashion sense and look forward to each and every outfit she puts together. You definitely should check her out, she's pretty much amazing.
So, I will be updating on the awesome Wardrobe Challenge, so keep a look out, if you want to:)
Now Im off to go make some real food for the first time since moving. Nothing like some homemade Pizza to fill our food craving tummy's!
