Day 15-17

My shopping ban is near the end.  I have a feeling that I will go into full rebound once the ban is lifted.  There are so many things I have been eyeing on.   If I do that, I will have to go into another ban.  This is almost like a bad diet, you refrain yourself only later to eat more.  I would also need to make an exception for Saturday not to wear the 21 items as I have a wedding to attend.  I had miscalculated the date.  Another mistake, I didt realize that the wedding ceremony and the reception was so far apart.  Wedding is at 1:00 pm but the reception is not till the evening.   Does that mean guest will get to change to evening appropriate outfit from the ceremony?

Day 15:  JCrew day
Top: JCrew  Coralie Cami  
Bottom: JCrew Watercolor floral pastiche pencil skirt
Shoes: JCrew Lily pump.  
My foot was so tired that I end up ripping everything off as soon as I got home and change to my PJ T-shirt and shorts. So no pictures for the day.

Day 16: Swing to the casual side.  I have to stand outside of my daughter's ballet class, no way I am wearing the pump no matter how comfortable it gets.
Top:Jcrew appliqué mum art tee  
Bottom: LOFT Linen Capri 
Cardigan: LOFT Wrap Cardigan 
Shoes: J-41


Day 17: So here is my last item of the remix replacing the destructed jeans.  I end up not choosing a dress as I originally planned.  The weather gets pretty cold in the morning and my feet are tired too.  So I end up with the short boots I often wear when I need to do a lot city walking.

Top: Anthro Brewed Bean Shell


Bottom: Anthro Embroidered skirt.  
Legging: Anthro Legging.  
Shoes: Dansko military boots
Carigan: JCREW Jackie Cardigan






Also my birthday gift from my mom came today.  What do you think? The picture is kind of weird angle. Does it remind you of a cask for a broken leg with the buckles?

And here is the half finished new closet! Hubby installed it today.  Still have not replace the old drawers yet, but I they are good enough so maybe we won't need the drawers.

day 9: the complete set

So by today, all the 21 for 21 items are exhausted.  From now on, it will be all remix.

Top: Anthro Bud and Bunches Tank
Bottom: Anthro Embroidered Skirt
Cardigan: LOFT warp cardigan
Shoes: J-41















Hubby had asked me what I want for my birthday for a while now.  Although I have many many many things in my lust list, I felt as a working girl, I will be able to get it myself one day when it is on SALE.  Plus guys just doesn't know any better when it comes to fashion so you end up returning them anyway.


On the other hand, I DO NOT want a iphone 4.  I know that is what he will get me if I don't block that idea. I don't like how IPHONE 4 looks.   It is too boxy for my taste and I want to wait for iphone become available on version as AT&T coverage is awful in the office building and our bedroom. I can finish one sentence before it gets cut off.

The current iphone is a birthday gift from hubby 2 years ago.  He wanted one but doesn't want to carry a big phone around.  There, women always have a purse to fit it in.  It is awful as a phone.  The battery life doesn't last a day and I am never that discipline to remember charging it.  It is too big to fit in the jean pocket, so whenever I am in the meeting, I am out of reach.  Believe me, at project end, I have a lot of meetings. I do however like certain convenience.  The two app I uses are good map and yelp.  it is very convenient during travel.  The princess dress up game also provided some relief when kids are bored at the restaurant, that is if I have any battery left after all the web looking up.

Now I had finally decided. I want him to fix up the closet in our bedroom.  The cheap rod from home depot is already very bend and I am afraid one day it is just going to give in and collapse.  It will be in major headache.  Also the high part of the shelf still has a lot of empty space, which could really store up some unseasonal stuff like heavy sweater.   So there, it is home improvement for me!  I wish my new closet will look like this, although I will not have the luxury to space out my garment like the photo.
