Jailbird

This outfit seemed like a good idea in my imagination, but then I just felt like a convict all day.  I thought the chambray and leopard would break it up enough, but I was wrong.  So unless you are dressing up for Halloween, I'd caution against black/white stripes with black pants.

Stripe Week - Sweater and Link-up

Stripes Week is coming to a close, but I'll probably have stripes on the blog most of next week, because I kind of over-prepared.  I could probably keep this going through the rest of the month, but I'd get tired of that (maybe).

Anyway... you guys!  FALL!  I mean, BOOTS and LAYERS!  There are even recently fallen leaves on my shoe in the first picture.  Seriously, though - it got kind of cold over the weekend, and we had all the windows in our house open.  I think it was about 50 degrees inside when we woke up on Saturday.  Not awesome.  But I did bust out the boots on Sunday.  And then it was 80 again on Monday.  I'm hoping we won't see snow until December.  Come on, Nebraska!

April Showers

Let's talk about the weather, okay?  It is mid-April and last week we experienced all of the seasons.  Monday was warm and beautiful, and I wore this.  Rumor has it that over the weekend, we even got up into the 70s, but I was gallivanting around Arizona, so I can't really confirm those allegations.  Tuesday started out nice, but got significantly colder as the day progressed, and then we had a crazy hail storm that night.  It rained all day Wednesday, and then snowed on Thursday, and I'm just not really sure how to dress myself when there is so much variability in the weather!  I'm falling back on my jeans almost every day.  

On the rainy Wednesday, I started with the thought that I should wear my rain boots.  Then I worked from there.  Add my giraffe umbrella and I was ready to go!  Sadly, the giraffe umbrella is now broken.  Don't worry, I have another one!  (I just have to find it...)

Frozen Ankles

Take One, Pass It On Item:  pink scarf from last Wednesday's post

I'm getting pretty tired of winter for several reasons.  One is that I have such limited footwear options. Every day, I mostly get to decide if I want to wear my gray boots, my black boots, or my brown boots.  So when I checked the weather and it was supposed to be sunny and in the upper 40s, I was pretty excited to bust out my peep-toes and let my ankles out to play.  It turns out that my weather app was lying to me, and it was cloudy, maybe in the 30s, with pretty strong winds.  My poor ankles and toes were so cold.  Rookie mistake.

Linking up with Shanna for Random Wednesday.

PersonalityType

Have you ever taken the Myers Briggs Personality Test?  I've never done the official one, but I've randomly taken it online over the past few years.  My dad brought it up recently in a conversation about introverts vs. extroverts, and I decided I should take it again, because I can never remember what my letters are.  Without any further ado, here's my type:

The website also has a list of famous ENFJ's, which is kind of interesting.  Some of the notable names are Ronald Reagan, Abraham Lincoln, Peyton Manning, Oprah, Johnny Depp, and King David (from the Bible).  I'm sorry, how do they know what Myers Briggs personality type King David had?  I mean, that's just ridiculous!

Just Another Giveaway

Gap Sweater; Loft Scarf; Target Skirt; BareTraps boots

What better way to kick off the first Monday of 2013 than with a giveaway?  I said I would do another one when I hit 75 followers, but that happened right before Christmas, and I figured the holidays were crazy enough, so I decided to wait until January.

Since I love Charming Charlie, I had to include another of their fabulous necklaces.  I went with cobalt blue, since I've been loving it so much lately.

I'm also throwing in a $5 Starbucks gift card for the winner.  I truly want to thank all of you lovely people out there who take the time to read my silly little blog.  I wish I could give each and every one of you a present, but that's probably not in the budget!  For now, there will be one winner, but I hope to do more giveaways in the future.  The winner will be announced next Monday!
