double uh oh...

Hmm...if Karmen broke her camera, and I STILL do not have possession of my own camera, however are we going to get our outfits uploaded to the blog?!

Don't worry - I'm going to Columbia this weekend so we will just have to make one of our dear friends be our picture slave until we get this catastrophe settled.

And I do owe my fellow bloggers a BIG apology for my complete and utter neglect of 20 Something the past few weeks. I suppose I could place blame on my lack of camera, the recovery process from surgery, jet-setting to Nantucket, having a mass amount of family in town, and having family in the hospital...but let's face it, no one likes to hear excuses. I PROMISE to have my 30 for 30 choices uploaded as soon as I have access to a tangible and working camera - don't give up on me!

missing you all terribly,

Mandy

uh oh..

Third time's a charm

Express skirt, Urban shirt and gray heels, Venetian glass earrings found on my European trip in the back streets of Venice.

I wish I could say that I wore this outfit to work, or maybe on a hot date, or even to a nice lunch. I actually got all dressed up to go to Chic-fil-A for a spicy chicken sandwich and get my oil changed for the upcoming move. All the people serving me waffle fries and those at the auto shop thought I looked super cute though.

Sorry for the lack of updating but unfortunately I haven't a reason to get dressed up. Mandy came back this weekend and we all spent the entire 2 days in our swimsuits at the pool or on the slip and slide out back. I guess I'll have to start putting on clothes during the day if I'm ever going to finish this challenge…

All my best,

Karmen

Pizza Burgers

Today I drove out to Darlington to have lunch with my friend Jess. After an hour long drive listening to Nelly and TLC (straight up middle school, I know) I finally arrived in the small town of Darlington, South Carolina. We went to Joe's to get a delicious pizza burger and catch up on everything.

Tell me that doesn't look delicious.

Limited skirt, Forever 21 shirt, Delias belt, Ciao Bella ballet flats, and Ashley's awesome brown necklace from Charming Charlies (that I bought for her obvi)

I got Ashley to take my picture today. We were outside for a total of 3 minutes when Ashley started sweating and passing out of heat exhaustion thus giving up on a grand photo shoot. So that's why that second picture is so awkward…

Today I realized I will be moving back home soon. Did the summer really go by that fast? Anyways, this 30 for 30 challenge will have to move back home with me. Hopefully I can handle it so far away from everyone…

All my best,

Karmen

PS. Mandy is coming to visit this weekend!!!

A date with myself

Well it's summertime in Columbia. Which means it's impossibly hot and impossibly boring around this ghost of a town. With everyone else busy working and traveling it's been pretty lonely around the apartment. I decided to finally get out of my pajamas and off the couch and go on a date with myself. So I went shopping and went to lunch with no one else but my book. Maybe later tonight I'll take myself out to a movie…

As you know this is my first day of the 30 for 30 challenge. I put together a very simple outfit with a new dress I bought at the 40% off Ann Taylor sale (aka heaven). After working in the 100 degree blazing sun with the self timer I had broken into an intense sweat, so I settled for the best picture I could manage. Once Ashley gets home I'll have her take pictures of me…



Ann Taylor dress, vintage earrings, and Ariat boots

Until next time,
Karmen (& Mandy)

Finally picked my 30

Here we go ya'll, I've finally picked my 30 pieces for the 30 for 30 challenge. Wish me luck!







Now we just have to wait for Mandy to pick hers!

30 for 30 challenge

Okay okay. I'm bored. I have nothing to do. And Mandy is so far away!

So I've decided to start a little project inspired by the genius behind Kendi Everyday (http://kendieveryday.blogspot.com/) called 30 for 30.



The idea is simple. I choose 30 pieces and mix and match them for 30 different outfits for 30 days. Good idea for a poor unemployed college graduate right?

Okay well I'll be picking out my 30 pieces (probably all 5 Points wearable other than my pjs that I wear all day everyday now…) after this weekend. Until then I'm off to the lake for the 4th!

missing Mandy,
Karmen

PS. Happy 4th of July!
PPS. USC Gamecocks are NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! (in case you didn't already know…)
