Well darlings, the first weekly challenge has come to an end! I had planned on getting this entry posted a lot earlier in the day, but honestly, I had such a hard time putting together an outfit! A lot of you voiced your opinion about feeling a little intimidated by the first challenge, and I totally understand why. Choosing an outfit you would want to be photographed for a blog is hard–very hard!

After much debate about what to wear for this photo challenge, I realized I should just wear this jumper. I have been practically wearing it since I bought it from the thrift store a couple weeks ago.
Jumper: Thrifted $2.95
Shoes: Thrifted $2.95
Belt: Thrifted $1.95
Hat: American Eagle $??
Sweater: Thrifted $4.95
Here is the gorgeous Jfer:
Taken in my super cool backyard, the outfit is all Ebay and thrifted, the shoes (I wish you could see them) are rainbow snakeskin with a gold overlay. Heck Yeah!
And the way too cute Liina:
Casual, for a leisurely afternoon canoe ride. I feel great in this outfit, and I love the bold color & pattern of my necklace & scarf in contrast to the very pale color & subtle pattern in my tank top. Shoes, pants & bag are old, worn out, and functional - the words that best describe my day-to-day fashion philosophy!

This weeks challenge is a lot less intimidating, as there are no photos necessary, though if you want to take pictures do–you can never have enough photos of your life!
Go on a picnic!
Do it after your busy day, on the weekend, or on your lunch break during the week. Make the food as simple or complex as you want, make it the night before, or pick up some sandwiches from the deli. Invite your best friend, coworker, significant other, or go solo. Find a nice park to lay out your blanket, bring a book, your iPod, some cupcakes, or a sketch book. Enjoy the outdoors and your surroundings. If the weather is bad, move your picnic indoors, or under a covered patio. Live in the moment, and enjoy every single bit of your picnic.
Once done come back and report here! Take pictures to share with us, let us know what you ate, and tell us everything you did. You can even use this space to plan and ask for menu advice! Just have fun with it!
