Day 12: Welcome, Gingham.

Goooooood afternoon!

Well, not so good for some of us. My friend's entire basement apartment is flooded, including the carpet. There is now water damage to all of her furniture.  Let's hope she gets some good compensation from the landlord for THAT one.

My outfit sort of reflects the day today. It's rainy and gloomy out, so I wasn't too inspired by colour...  But I did introduce gingham, which I love!

Button-up from Old Navy; Cardigan from Gap; Jeggings from Dynamite; Boots from Spring; Belt was mom's when she was younger

So I'm procrastinating from studying and reading my textbooks. And in doing so, I'm finding a whole bunch of things that I would love to run out and buy right this second if I could. I have a huge list piling up for after my 30 for 30. And I know that's terrible, because that's besides the point of this whole challenge, but I figure if it stays on my list the whole time, it's something that I probably really do want. Right? Right (at least in my mind).

Happy Friday Everyone!
