Graphic Tee Week: Weezer

Another band t-shirt, but I couldn't help myself.  These are absolutely my favorite tees.  It seems like band merchandise has gotten nicer over the years.  My recent concert tees are all super soft cotton, so I love them.  And I mean, this one features a robot in an argyle sweater playing a drum.  What more could you want from a t-shirt??  Maybe a blogger whose hair doesn't cover half of the design?

I went the more casual route with this outfit.  This probably wouldn't fly at most offices, but as I've mentioned before - mine is super casual, unless we have clients visiting, which is pretty rare.

Make sure you come back tomorrow for the grand finale of Graphic Tee week, which also happens to be my 30th birthday!  (send presents)

Roatan Adventures

Mahogany Bay is where the boat docked

After 2.5 days on the boat, we finally got to our first port: Roatan, Honduras!  We wanted to avoid the super busy beaches, so we consulted TripAdvisor, and learned about Camp Bay Beach, which was about an hour away from the cruise pier.  After a bit of drama with our taxi driver, we were happy to arrive at the beach!  

We had a pretty great day at the beach - reading, playing in the ocean, throwing the frisbee, etc.  It was really nice, because there were only a few other people around, so it wasn't crowded at all!   We got back to the pier with about an hour to spare, so we walked over to the Mahogany Bay area, and there was a little "Nature Trail" that we decided to walk through.   We saw some iguanas and birds, and a strange squirrel/rabbit hybrid, which I'm pretty sure was a gibnut.

And here's my dinner outfit for that day.  You can tell that I was bad at applying sunscreen on my arms!

New Mexico Adventures

Well, I took off again without telling you all I was leaving. John and I were gone to New Mexico for about 10 days visiting family.  On Friday the 24th, we flew into Albuquerque and took the tramway up to Sandia Peak.  

We look pretty good considering we woke up around 4am

When we got near the top, we were in the middle of the clouds and couldn't see anything at all.  It was kind of freaky!

There's a restaurant at the top, so we ate lunch and hoped the clouds would clear some.  It was also pretty cold up there - like 42 degrees!  Compared to the 85 degrees at the bottom, it was a big change!  And it was a tad windy, as you can tell from these pictures. 

The tramway was really cool, as long as I didn't think too much about the possibility of falling to my death.  I definitely don't recommend it if you are afraid of heights!

Well, that was day 1 of our adventure.  More New Mexico tomorrow!

How to Wear a Concert Tee to Work

I wanted to make sure you could see the robot

Since my office has a super casual dress code, I can pretty much wear whatever I want.  For some reason, I still feel like a rebel when I wear jeans and a t-shirt (even though everyone else does it all the time).  This usually happens on the days when I hit snooze a few too many times, and realize I have exactly 15 minutes to get ready for work if I'm going to make it to my first meeting.  We won't talk about what time that first meeting is.  Just pretend it's respectable, like 8am.

As I frantically brush my teeth, take a shower, do my hair and make-up, I think about how I should really pack my lunch the night before, and maybe even decide on an outfit.  Then I have to make a decision for the day.  Jeans are easy.  My new t-shirt from the Weezer concert a few weeks ago looks like a good idea.  I mean, a robot in argyle, playing a drum - what's not to love?  Then I felt too casual and remembered it was kind of cool outside, so I thought it was a good excuse to wear my new cardigan again.  (I'm telling you, this cardi is going to get worn A LOT in the next few months.)  Finally, I threw on my heels (because that makes any outfit feel a little more fancy), and I was out the door.   I didn't even look in the mirror!  And I made it to work with about 10 minutes to read emails before my meeting.  I call that a successful morning.
