I Really Love Giraffes

March 15th, 2011

I’ve been kind of off the radar for about the last week. I’ve had the worst cold for what feels like forever. But today I woke up feeling pretty good, and thought today would be the day that I get back outside and take some outfit photos. I, apparently, spoke too soon. As soon as I got outside, the runny nose, watery eyes, coughing - all came flooding back. Oh well, I gave it a shot. Thats why theres not that many photos. Most of them consisted of  ”I am about to sneeze” or “hurry up and snap before my eyes start to water again” faces. 

And this outfit contains a lot less color and a lot more black than I usually choose to wear. But for some reason it felt  appropriate for today. I have some sort of obsession with giraffes. They make me feel better. Speaking of feel better giraffes, I got the best present from Boo the other day - a 6 foot tall giraffe statue. And I thought he was going to bring me a candy bar. 

Oh, and these shoes? I had won them during the 30 for 30 in a giveaway by Louise at Coffee and a Cardigan. Adorable, right?!

sweater: H&M

pants: Gap

shoes: Blowfish


Wow... Is That a Giraffe?

October 5th, 2010

sweater: H&M, skirt: U.O, tights: Express, wedges: Steve Madden, purse: Prada

Worn For: …. I walk into Starbucks. Guy at counter: “hi can I help you?” Me: “hi, yeah, can I have a tall white mocha no whip.” Long pause. Guy: “wow. is that a giraffe?” Me: “yes it is.” Guy: “…wow.”

Ok, so thats not what this outfit was worn for, it was for date night - dinner with the boyfriend. But that is the reaction I got from this sweater. No, I did not get it in the children’s section. Yes, I do enjoy dressing like a 5 year old. 

And the 30 for 30 remix starts monday! Who is excited? My items to follow…
