What I Wore & Trying to find horses in Ann Arbor
So, due to the cold weather we've suddenly gotten, I started pulling out sweaters and figured I'd document some outfits I was particularly pleased with.
Forgive the pics, old camera has no timer function, so I'm reduced to mirror pictures, which makes it fun to try and get full body shots.
9/29/09 - Cold snap!
Maroon sweater, charlotte russe skinny jeans, and lj-bought gray boots.
Even better with the jacket, methinks. A bit too big, but it's a hand-me-down from a cousin, so score! I love jackets.
9/30/09 - Dressing up a band t thanks to a suggestion from Janet, and breaking my brown/black rule
New h&m black cardigan, old killswitch engage band t, dark skinny jeans - $8 from kohl's clearance, paddock boots bought at tack sale in WI.
Normally I would never mix black with brown shoes, but having just worn my gray boots, and my black flats being at home, I felt this was the best option. I could have worn my peep-toe kitten heels, but it's so ingrained in me never to have open-toed shoes in the lab that I just couldn't do it. Anyway, I kind of like it.
I wore the cardigan buttoned, but not all the way up. It's really low cut, so it worked with this shirt's design - and I do tend to like things more structured. But that'll be something I can play around with with other things! The plan is to get a pair of black ankle boots and some skinny black pants, I think those could both be useful in many ways.
I meant to take pictures of the sweaters I got yesterday, but mirror access is only in living room, and it wasn't as empty as it normally is. As much as I enjoy this, I don't know how my roomies would feel about a fashion show while they watch tv!
In other news, I've decided I need to schedule some time doing stuff I like - hence, I started searching either for a horse to partial lease, or a really good, close trainer. Unfortunately, nothing was available for lease on the thousands of websites I looked at, so I think I have two lessons scheduled - the one hasn't actually confirmed the time for next Tuesday, and the other one needs me to call and confirm the two weeks away Tuesday lesson the Monday before.
But, the first one has a possible full lease on some TBs for only $200/month, and the second one is an event trainer, so that could be really fun if she ends up having room for me - apparently she's really full, and the fact that I'm more h/j is working against me. I have one more place I might call, as it's only 15 minutes away, but I'm waiting to confirm with the first lady so I can set up a time for next week with this new one. I figure taking a lesson is more fun than just watching them give one, so hopefully something works out.
