I am about to be really transparent.
So transparent that I can’t believe that I am posting the pictures that I’m going to post.
Ay yi yi!
Hang on a sec for all of that and let me give you a little back story.
Have you heard of the blog written by The Nester? Have you heard of the 31 days series? It is a really cool link up that the Nester hosts where bloggers (literally thousands!) write for 31 days about many different things during the month of October. Be sure to check it out and meet some new bloggers.
I have always wanted to participate, but every year I talk myself out of it. My brain starts telling me all of these things: there’s no way you can blog for 31 days straight. what if you can’t think of anything to say? what if you …
But this year, I’m gonna do it! Get out of the way, brain…quit raining on my parade! Of course, I’m a day late as everyone else is on day 2 of the 31 days and I’m technically starting tomorrow. But that’s typical Adriane so anyone who knows me shouldn’t be surprised.
So what made me want to go ahead and just do it? My clothes…
Yep, you heard me correctly: my clothes!
Enter the embarrassing pictures…
I am a stay at home, home schooling mom. Even though that is my title, I actually leave the house most days of the week. ( I also have the title of chauffeur. {smile}) When I leave the house, I tend to gussy up a bit. But at home, well…I tend to wear my most favorite, most comfortable pair of yoga pants and not just for exercising! Nope! These babies see me through home schooling, cooking & cleaning, playing, and gardening. That big rip is actually the result of a gardening accident with a trellis. Obviously, these puppies are even worn when I’m holding the dog as evidenced by the white dog hairs on my pants. And while we are confessing…this is not the only hole in the pants! {ducking head in shame…but come on, you know how it is with your most favorite, most comfortable pair of yoga pants…it’s totally hard to break up!}
But wait, it gets better.
Do you notice something about this picture?
Hint: look at the tops of the socks. Uh-huh…my socks are two different colors.
But there is still more. This is the one that I can not believe I am going to post…
I’m not going to comment much on this. Let’s just say this…if you know me in real life and see me in the store like this, you would probably not even recognize me. (But I am going to cut myself some slack today since I was feeling badly and spent the afternoon sleeping on the couch.)
My challenge to myself for the 31 29 days left in the month of October:
I’m going to get dressed everyday from head to toe even if it is a completely stay at home day. No yoga pants except for exercise. No holey clothes. Hair fixed and at least mascara on these blonde eyelashes and a little lip gloss.
Why am I getting dressed everyday?
Because I truly am more productive on days that I’m dressed. Not to mention, I feel better about myself when I am a little fixed up.
Every day for the month of October I will post a picture of what I wore that day.
So please come back and check on me to keep me accountable. And be sure to check out the many, many topics over at Nesting Place! I believe there is a little something there for everyone!
