30 Days of Creativity

Real Simple issued a great challenge for June: 30 Days of Creativity. Every day this month, I vow to do one creative thing: take a photo (or many), put together an unexpected outfit, paint a wall, redecorate, cook, do something that stretches that side of my brain. I've been so focused on numbers and reports and problems at work I've let that side of me wither, and it's time to bring that back.

Here is Day 1.



I made breakfast! In my bento! My sister K will appreciate it. :)
Yogurt, strawberries, a couple of slices of swiss cheese, almonds, and a Target chocolate snack. (Truthfully, it took me most of the day to nibble through everything.)

Since I wimped out and didn't make a more complicated lunch, I had a little time to goof around with poses on the patio. Hee.



Being on the ledge in front of the door seemed like a good idea at first...



...but it quickly fell apart.



But check out my shoes! (And Emily through the blinds.)



Truly, the shoes were the impetus behind this whole outfit. They're Clarks Long Ponds in orange; Angie at YLF had recommended them earlier this spring, and I fell in love. But they look best with pants rather than dresses, so I hadn't quite found the right outfit for them. Until today.

You'll notice the rest of the outfit is all neutrals: brown NYDJ ponte skinnies, white Nordstrom tunic top, gold metallic Bobeau cascading sweater, gold and grey stone triple strand necklace. See, not boring at all! :)

Back to the 30 Days of Creativity. Anyone else want to give it a try with me? I'm excited!
