Cam-OH!
Well, I finally did it – I bought camo pants. Technically I bought a pair of pants in navy blue at J. Crew Factory this weekend. I’d told my KISA and his brother that I really wanted to buy something in camo. They decided to shop without me while I tried on a pair of camo pants at J. Crew Factory. I lost my nerve, reminded myself I was 30, and bought the same pair of pants in navy because I liked the way they fit. After I left the store I showed them to my KISA and his brother and they gave me a hard time for not buying the camo ones. I went back to the store, showed them the camo ones, and they prompted me to exchange the “safe” pants for the camo ones. I knew if I didn’t wear them immediately I’d return them, so I wore them out on Sunday night. I’m not going to lie – I was shocked at how many guys (not even girls) commented on them and noticed. Maybe they’ll make a repeat appearance. Maybe.

Here are a few of my outfits from this week. You’ll notice a couple new items added to my wardrobe: a pair of dark, ripped jeans that were $15 at Levi’s Outlet on clearance (I’m a sucker for a good deal) and a graphic tee that was on clearance at J. Crew for $15 as well.

Heels
I don’t often wear heels because I’m lazy and because I often bike to work. However, yesterday I decided to spice things up a bit since I was conducting a training and people would have to look at me. I’m not gonna lie – I felt like I was stomping all day.

Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na ROBIN!
As I mentioned in a previous post, my KISA wanted to be Batman for Halloween, so I naturally had to go as Robin, or Robyn as I say. I hate cheap looking costumes, so I elected to make my own costume for Halloween. It wasn’t the easiest thing to do, but it looked how I imagined. The only hang-ups I had was the skirt – I didn’t have a pattern for any part of the costume, so I just cut a shape that looked like a skirt and proceeded to sew it…and then spent even more time trimming it and making it look even. Also, I decided it was necessary to line the shirt since it was see-through, but then learned the fabric store was out of that exact color. So, the inside is lined differently, but no one can tell. This was the finished product:
