I knew I wanted to wear this red skirt today and built this outfit around it. Not bad for a day of donation and hitting up the library with my two girls!

I really want to make one of those cool collages--are there any great (free) websites or programs that you'd recommend?

Hey! Another try at wearing this dress. The pattern can be considered 'loud'--I think the top subdues it a little bit. Most importantly, look at my legs!! I haven't even been exercising consistently but my legs look amazing, woot woot! lol!

Another outfit featuring this skirt... I totally have to wear this with turquoise the next time via a great suggestion from an online friend--thanks, girl!

This was a good outfit to wear in the rain, and we've been getting lots of it lately in New England! Gotta love unpredictable weather!

Everything has been purchased at Old Navy at one point or another except the sandals.

Hey! I'm still participating in the challenge... I just haven't been uploading every outfit. I totally should do like Kasmira of WhatIWore2Day and start taking my outfit pictures in cool spots around town. There's only so many shots I can take in my apartment or on the little patch of land known as our backyard, haha! It also doesn't help that I'm on vacation, and don't necessarily have to 'dress up' everyday. I totally need some inspiration!

Today's outfit is perfect for summer! Speaking of summer, I totally need to do one or two cool things before it's back to school again.

The blue/green 'skirt' is actually a dress!! I was going to wear a belt with it (as I've recently seen on Kimberly's blog), but it held up well enough without one.

Not my best work, but I'm being diligent about documenting everything, good and not so good :). It has been getting a little tough trying to come up with different ways to wear my items. What do you do when you get into a clothing rut (besides buy new stuff)?

I've worn this dress plenty of times--this is definitely a workhorse in my wardrobe. I don't, however, have any pictures of it on flickr without it being covered with something else. The next time I wear this dress, I have to spruce it up with some sort of accessories.

I'm so proud of myself for rocking this skirt as a shirt. I am definitely going to try this again!! Woohoo!! Everything has been worn before.

In other news, I tried a Caramel Frappe from McDonald's for the first time--it's actually pretty tasty! I'm sure it probably contains a day's amount of sugar, however, haha!

I love how open and carefree this dress feels unbelted. I played with the orange tones in the dress today; the next time I wear it, the blues will definitely come out to play! How's everyone else doing with the challenge?

While figuring out what items to include in the challenge, I knew I wanted to try different color schemes with this skirt. I've worn it with purple, lime, and pink. Cream and gray gives the skirt a soft feel which I love! I didn't include any pants in my chosen items so I've got to get real creative with my dresses and skirts. I'm up for the challenge!!
