::Eighteen=of=Thirty::/{My 1st EBEW}

I have been hoping to jump on board with EveryBodyEveryWear {click on this link or the badge at the bottom of the post to learn more about it} since their first challenge, but it never worked out. Now that I visited the FAQ's and really figured out {aka read what was explained in plain, clear English} what the schedule is/how it works, I plan to participate as often as possible. You should too!I love this dress and I originally purchased it {on clearance} for a show that P & I did together a couple of years ago. I needed something breezy, feminine, colorful & just a little zany. Ding! I had eyed-up this bad boy for nearly a month and finally felt justified buying it. I have never looked back.

I don't even care that I'm still working on the 30-for-30 -- I'm having a lot of fun this way. This outfit sort of came out of nowhere {as the last few combos have} and let me tell you, it feels very me. I'm surprised I hadn't come up with it sooner and you can be darned sure I'll be recycling another version of it again soon. I know it looks like autumn in these pics but it's actually spring and it's actually sublime. I am in the best mood/s ever in the last few day/s, despite normal weekly headaches {both physical & metaphorical}. Something about warm, breezy temps and sunshine just makes me kinda drunk.

I think they call that "high on life".

Here's a little 30-for-30 number that made me want to dance a jig on a sunny day.

Happy Spring!

Half way -- half way! Hooray! This was a last-minute scramble combo in packing for a fabulous visit home {more details/photos/post to follow on that subject}. It was a super comfy outfit; great for the car ride, dinner, and general gallivanting. Thanks, 30-for-30! :)

Isn't this room {or the one wall of it that you can see here} dreamy? I can't wait to tell you all where/what it is!

False alarm. There was no storm. Annoying.

Here's my 14th ensemble. Almost to the half way mark (over a month later -- embarrassing).

I'm back! It has been such a whirlwind since I started this challenge a month and a half ago. I am ready to finish it and move on with my bloggin' life!

It's about to storm here. They're talking in legend talk right now. I've heard everything from 8"-25" and crazy, crazy wind. I will have to dress warmer tomorrow.

I'm not even half way yet. I feel the way marathoners must feel on their 12th mile -- save for all the sweat, training, hard work + physical demands.It was warm out today! It got up over 40 and it was sunny, there was snow melting, snow melting sounds, and thawing smells {which are not all nice, but are all exciting}, hooray!

I love Valentine's Day. A lot. We had a wonderful & perfect one. I won't say too much about it {to avoid the barf factor}, but details-spared; we exchanged gifts + cards, had dinner and watched a movie. The gifts we gave each other were both for things we get to go do as a pair at later dates ~ which, to me, shows how much we really like each other.

This is the outfit I wore to P's closing night of Frost/Nixon. It was amazing. The show {which was already great at opening} grew by leaps & bounds. I had the distinct privilege of sitting in the front row and watching my dashing husband {+ the rest of the amazing cast} all up-close and personal-like. Afterward, I got to go to a party with all my new friends from in town as well as my old besties from out of town. Everyone in one place!

It was phenomenal.

We also stayed up rrrrealllly late. Three nights in a row. I haven't done that in a long time. My voice is still scratchy.
