Will Wheaton

He is sporting a Bo-Bo the clown sweater, 

which frightened 17 small children and 3 grown men.

 This sweater is the perfect mix of terrifying and disgusting, 

adding up to Hideous!

Hopefully this inspires you to go for the "gold," and pull out your ugliest sweaters! Good luck to everyone!

announcing: Ugly Sweater Week

Dear Readers,

Remember how Floral week happened awhile ago? Well I have been pretty slack on doing any other type of theme week... So I am going to plan ahead this time. Based off of a very successful good will trip with my mom I would like to announce: Ugly Sweater week! This will take place Nov 27th until Dec 3 (The week after Thanksgiving). I would make it sooner but I want people to have the chance to collect sweaters and also I would like Christmas sweaters to be acceptable during that week. Now it's true that you will see me sporting a different ugly sweater everyday- however I don't want to find myself alone in this endeavor! So all of you at Mansfield- or readers everywhere bust out those festive sweaters! (hit the thrift shops or raid grandma's closet). Even if you don't have enough to celebrate all week join me in the fun any day you can!

Also plan on taking photos of your efforts that week and send them to me- they will definitely end up on my blog :) I would also like to have a prize for the photo submission that readers vote is the ugliest!

I am exploring the option of ending the week with an Ugly Sweater Party too!

Stay tuned for more info.. but in the mean time here is some inspiration :)

Happy Planning :)

Floral Week

 

Last week I celebrated "Floral Week!" I really love floral prints, and with fall rapidly approaching you will see these spring-like patterns less and less, so in order to celebrate I decided to display flowers all week long proudly. From Sunday all the way to Saturday I wore at least one item with flower print on it each day. By the end of the week I even got some other classmates at my school participating!

Sunday: 

OK, so you probably recognize this picture from my post about making a skirt.

Well surprise... this skirt started my floral week! 

I wore it to dinner after work one night, then took some pictures.

Pearl Bracelet (Primark), Shoes ( Thrifted)

Monday: 

The rain started on Monday- and didn't stop.

I decided the best way to rock my floral was on my feet! 

Cited: Rain Boots (Target)

Tuesday: 

This day felt like fall! 

I bundled up with a scarf and rocked my primary colors.

Cited: Skirt (Handmade), Turtle Neck Shirt (Old Navy), 

Belt and Scarf (Primark), Bag (Forever21), Flats (Payless)

Wednesday: 

Another really rainy day (most of the surrounding areas flooded).

It was so rainy I couldn't take a picture outside this day. 

Cited: Pants (Urban Outfitters), Top (too old- don't remember),

Flats (Payless), Ring (Antique)

Thursday: 

We had the first half of our day cancelled for flood warnings- it ended up being sunny. 

I decided to wear a skirt :)

 (which was actually a dress folded down to look like a skirt)

Friday: 

I actually had an entirely different outfit planned for this day

-but it was much warmer than I anticipated!

Cited: Sweater (Thrifted), Dress (Thrifted), 

Locket (Grandma's old locket), Sandals (Payless).

Saturday: 

This day was jam-packed full of things like choir retreat, walmart trips, 

and an epic night of scrapbooking (I did 15 pages in one sitting). 

I apologize for the tired state I am in for this next shot!

*By the end of the week I was getting lots of people around me involved- Thursday and Friday I had a lot of people participate with me at school! (My sister even did at home)
