Share the Covers--Walk

The rockin' original by Pantera . . .

And the bad ass cover by Avenged Sevenfold . . .

I woke up Monday morning feeling totally off. I was exhausted. And I felt like I was driving under the influence on my way to work, but I haven't had a drink in months. My throat was scratchy, my nose was stuffy and I had a headache like none other.

But I toughed it out at work, even though I had a lot of "duh" moments--my brain was not with it. But as the day progressed, so did the worsening of my condition.

Then, around 2, my boss called me. He wanted to let me know that the associate attorney in our office was not coming in. She has bronchitis.

Greeeeeeeeat. And so it begins.

Mission Monday #19--Take a Walk on the Wild Side--Leopard Print

Leopard print. To some, it's scary. It signifies "cheap" or gaudy or loud. But to me, and many others, leopard print is, at this stage of fashion, a neutral. And one of my faves to boot.

This weekend has been quite a productive one, which leaves me both feeling geared up for Monday as well as in need of another Saturday to get some rest!

Patrick and I have been working our booties off trying to get the house together. And with every unpacked box, every discovered necessity and every finished product--I get so excited!

One of the tasks we checked off (or at least I did) was my closet. I finally got all of my closet unpacked. Which has been such a relief sartorially.

It came in handy when I was attending the fashion show for Colorado Fashion Week on Saturday. I will give you all the deets as soon as I upload all of my photos.

And I also got to check off taking a long, hot bath in our new tub. And I have to say, it was absolutely what the doctor ordered.

Our old rental had a drain that didn't hold water very well, a hot water heater that ran out of hot water after about 20 minutes of use and a really weirdly shaped tub. The new place has none of these issues. Amazing.

Mission #18--Crop Top Tip 5--Under a Sheer Blouse

Last day of Mission Week and this week I challenged myself into wearing crop tops and what a challenge it has been indeed!

One fun way that I wore a crop top (actually bandeau but who's splitting hairs here?) was under a sheer blouse. It worked really well actually. I do realize, however, that I am not a "model size" woman, but who cares? It's fun to show a little skin sometimes. Key words--a little skin. And sometimes.

So fellow Coloradoans--have you heard? Tonight marked the official Colorado Fashion Week! I am so excited that our little square state is growing in the fashion community!

Tomorrow night there is a Town Hall Meeting and Panel Discussion for the Business of Fashion. It will be held from 4-9 at Walker Fine Art Gallery. The discussions will be, in part, how we can bring the industry of fashion to Colorado.

The big show is set to be on Saturday at The Oxford Hotel from 6-9. I do hope that if you live here, you will come out and support. We like-minded and style conscious gotta stick together and support our local designers! Buy your tickets here!
