back track...

so um i think i/we skipped a day...
i have an outfit on my camera that i haven't uploaded...
 so here they are... for whatever day they go to :)

[whatever day this was] i sported some of my favorite vintage finds 

(love me some Goodwill ;)

the top has tiny white polka dots and fantastic ruffles, paired with a green and navy plaid A-line and topped with a (new) bow belt with just a little sparkle... lovely!

this shirt was popular.. i got several compliments :)

i love it.

whateverday i didn't have my personal photographer so i had to make do with timers and mirrors :)

and it actually did rain on day 5.... just later in the day

 so i got to wear my bright sunny raincoat

 you can see the rain coming down behind me...  it was REALLY coming down hard 

Spinny Chairs (pattern mixing week day 5)

Spinning around and around and around and around and around in a spinny chair will make you very dizzy very fast. We know.

On day five of pattern mixing week it was supposed to rain. It did not. Juju wore Toms, so she must be smarter than Mr. Weatherman.

I figured that today was a perfect day for plaid, and the zebra boots were inevitable (you know, since there was supposed to be RAIN!). Juju went with floral and another unnameable pattern, but here's a close-up.

Baby carriage, shoe, tiger. It's like I Spy on a shirt. The tag probably has a list: find the horse; find the rabbit; find the blue gummy bear. Or maybe not.

Here are the two funniest pictures of the day.

We should really get some kind of award for making such awesome faces while falling off a chair. But our, we're-having-fun faces are pretty awesome too.

Pattern Mixers 4-ever

Ready for day four of our Patterns at Play week? Why do I bother asking, of course you do.

But first, an important question: Why hasn't Juju been blogging? Well darlings, my gorgeous BFF is currently having computer issues, thus the lack of her posting. BUT, she will soon be back and we will be double trouble!

Onto patterns, now? Okay.

Juju decided to rock gingham and red zebra print today.

I really ought to confess. The idea behind my outfit came from this outfit by Kristine. Or Polly. As soon as I saw the red stripes and polka dotted skirt, I knew I had to try it!

Enough patterns for the day. On to the new game we made up. Want to know how to play our new game? It's easy. 

First, get some pennies.

Then, lie on your stomach on the floor...

... and flick pennies at each other.

Third Time's a Charm

It's day THREE of our Patterns at Play week! 

I tried my best to at least get a glimpse of today's outfits in pictures, but Juju was playing Ms. Procrastinator on an art project, thus outfit pictures were not the priority.

Juju is wearing stripes and argyle! ARGYLE! Have I ever mentioned my love for argyle? No? Well argyle is kind of my second love. I absolutely love it when my future husband wears argyle dress socks. He usually gets an extra kiss on those days. He thinks I'm silly, but he keeps wearing them.

Since Juju usually plays photographer for me when we meet up, and she was unavailable today, I made do with my point and shoot and the lockers at the gym. Don't they make for a  lovely backdrop?

     Ok, enough outfits. Let's delve into the mystery of what-was-Juju's-incredible-art-project-that-kept-her-from-playing-photographer/model-with-her-BFF-?. (The period is on purpose since the question mark is part of the title of our little mystery. Little Miss English must set things strait.)

First of all, never trust Juju with machinery.

It is a scary sight.

See that cute little wire tight-rope girl? She is Juju's handiwork! Juju is the big one with the little umbrella.

Here she is putting on the finishing touches:

With the finished project!

Day 2 of Pattern Mixing Week! (Way late)

Remember a long time ago when we had Pattern Mixing Week? Remember how Juju and I tend to forget to blog? Ok, well here's day 2. We had this in the archives and forgot to post. So enjoy! :)


First things first--obligatory foot picture.

Now how about we check out some of our ingenious pattern mixing, k?

Perhaps you recognize our photo spot?

And day two of Pattern Mixing Week begins!

I’ve done pattern mixing before, but this week I’m going all out! TWO bold patterns? Sure thing! Crazy color mix? Okay!

I’ve kind of gotten used to getting weird looks because of my outfits, especially at college where the height of fashion is a North Face pullover and Uggs. This encourages me to break out of my comfort zone and wear things I normally wouldn’t. Whether I wear something cute or crazy, I’ll get the same stares, so when I pick out my outfits I figure, why not?

(and now a word from juju)

today i defied one of the cardinal rules of fashion...

*stripes with polka dots*

*gasp*

but i looked cute, no?

i didn't get may pics but i got something better!!    while jb's camera was taking pictures on timer, mine was videoing :)  

i look ridiculous, like a floppy clown, but i caught some pretty awesome moments that didn't make it into the pictures ;)

Pattern Mixing Week: Day 1: Take 2: Twinkies

Juju and I wore twin mixed patterned skirts tonight! (Disregard the fact that this is my same outfit from this morning and that Juju is cute enough to create two cute outfits in one day.)

Pattern Mixing Week Day 1!

It's our first day of Patterns at Play Week! 

Juju is rocking stripes, florals, and--well I'm not quite sure what to call it. Ummm... how about a pattern? Yes, Juju is rocking stripes, florals, and a pattern. Correct.

I decided that pattern mixing week just wouldn't be complete unless I wore my cheetah print/floral skirt. I kind of felt like I was cheating, though, since I didn't put the prints together, which is why I added the striped shoes.

To celebrate the beginning of this lovely week of mixing patterns, I begged asked my future husband, Dork, if we could have a mini photo shoot down by the creek. He is such a good little photographer. 

Of course, the fact that he has an adorable subject helps him. Doesn't he make me look good?

A Declaration (#2)

A few weeks ago, Juju made our first declaration--hat week! This week, we are declaring it to be...

We're calling it PATTERNS AT PLAY because it's totally adorable, right? Right.

This week, we will be experimenting with pattern mixing and posting our results. Here's to stripes, florals, polka dots, animal prints, and plaid!
