Contests

You may or may not know, but I am fearfully competitive!  This is why I try really hard not to get into competitive situations in general.  There is a way that I like to express this while learning how to be a good loser as well.  I enter lots of contests.  They are fun, I still get really competitive even when it's a give away on a blog I'm just determined that I've won every time.  Who has ever won a Pioneer Woman giveaway?  But I seriously think that I will every time I enter one.  It might be because I have won a few contests and drawings from time to time.  I don't think that I'm truly lucky.  I think the odds are in my favor.  If you enter so many, you are bound to win a few.

My favorites are true contests.  I've won some writing contests but my latest venture was the modcloth pinterest contest.  It was fun they had a ton of really specific rules, and I followed them to a T and entered a wedding board contest.  Here is mine...

You can find it here.

It took me hours, but it was so fun the fantasize and make a red and teal themed wedding board.  No, I didn't win.  That's how I learn to be a good loser. I just thought I would share.

Tuesday Fashion Cravings

That perfect party dress.  Brian and I were discussing my taste a while back and I described my style as "cute."  He was so relieved to finally come up with a word that described it.  "Yes, you dress cute!" he said.  This conversation took place in London where all of the girls were dressed like women.  I felt very much like a 24 year old girl.  I might not be making sense.  Anyway I have been looking at more grown up clothes lately and trying to not buy the cute floral stuff that I want to.  But hey I bought a chiffon floral skirt and that's more grown up looking that a cotton one...right?
Anyway...I was browsing www.modcloth.com and found some more grown up looking party dresses....

I don't know why I wrote that little story about trying to look more grown up.  The more I kept looking the "cuter" the dresses got.

Like the Tide

I don't claim to be 100% original. With the ebb and flow of fashion certain predictions can be made. So I find it kind of awesome when I see that someone else has produced an idea I had too.
