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!

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?
