Hi 10 x 10 Friends! Three days down, seven to go. I’ve really enjoyed seeing everyone’s item choices and outfit combinations so far (although I think my favorite ones are always towards the end of the ten days, where we all have to get a little extra creative to change things up)! At the end …

The week is halfway over and the Fall 10 x 10 is three-quarters done! I wouldn’t say I’m feeling stifled with my choices, but I’m feeling a little antsy for some of my more fall-like items like boots and tights and my leather jacket. I don’t want to jinx it, but they are saying we …

All black again (minus the shoes!), and I love it. Thursday started a little differently since I had a dentist appointment this morning. I’d forgotten about it when I planned out my ten outfits, but I’m so glad today’s outfit included pants! I can’t imagine that it would be too fun to spend an hour …
