On hold

ughhh, so my blog will have to be on hold yet again as my computer is playing nasty tricks on me.  And I was on a roll, too!  *pouts*  I'll still try to document my outfits though so you'll get a big whammy at the end =)

Now that almost two months have passed and I've apparently survived on such a minimal wardrobe, I must say that it has helped me practice packing for Japan and proved that it's do-able, but I'm not sure if I really enjoyed it.  Especially on weekends when I can wear anything I want.  I get really sad because I don't have anything exciting and different to wear.  =(  

On a brighter note, I can't believe this summer has already flown by and I'll be heading back to Austin soon ^___^  It hasn't really hit me quite yet since I've been *more* busy than usual, but I'm pretty sure it will soon.  Definitely won't miss the city itself, but I'll definitely miss the company and the people I work with.  ...ok, and maybe those awesome Bricktown burgers and Coney Island chili dogs =D

Summer is really here...

Wow, this is the first day where I sincerely feel summer's...love (wrath is what I was about to write, but I can't hate summer for being summer!)  Right now my desktop is telling me that it's only 93 degrees outside, but I definitely disagree.  Walked to Bricktown Burgers for a yummy lunch and felt like I was about to die.  Oh, and then I almost melted on the sidewalk walking home, too.  The heat index is probably 110 outside.  The humidity isn't helping at all either.  rawr.

OK, enough ranting about the joys of summer; today's outfit is fun!  I debated forever whether or not to keep the belt - opinions?  Like the belt?  Or is it too much?  I was lucky today and got to go in to the office on my day off.  Since it's not recommended that I wear shorts, I rebelled against corporate by wearing a halter (covered with the cardigan, of course.)  I'm definitely wearing shorts on my last day of work.  Rules are made to be broken, no?



























Like my ghetto seven poses?  heehee.  I'm such a poser xD  And now I will spend the rest of the day hiding indoors and basking in AC controlled conditions - and hopefully see Inception tonight!  oooh yea baby~

Close your eyes

So, I'm a little embarrassed about this post.  Actually, no, very embarrassed by this post.  A terrible outfit, I know, but, I must stay honest to this whole TiFF'S TWiST thing.  And plus, I already put it out there from the beginning;  my work clothes are incredibly boring.  *heaves a sigh*

Now you know what I mean by that.


























Buuuut, other than that, today was just dandy.  I spent the entire day networking.  Which translates to essentially, nothing.  lol.  It was great though, chatting with my boss, co-workers, and fellow interns.  I'm definitely gonna miss them when I leave :(

Oh, and finally, after what, 7 weeks?  I FINALLY find a coffee shop that's near.  Guess it's better than never.  AND it's cheaper than Starbucks.  woot!

[[edit]]  oops, totally didn't realize that I forgot to mention that this is outfit #6 (can you believe it?!  I'm surviving!).

Coffee or tea?

soooo tired for some odd reason; I was fine earlier today!  But hearing Khalil Fong's Nokia song on the radio totally put me in good spirits :)

So anyway, I have concluded that guys totally dig bows.  Wore my flight attendant top to work today, and as I was walking to the office, a guy honked and whistled at me.  lol.  And then, I remember when I went downtown with Julie's humongous bow headband, all the guys were very interested in it.  So bottom line, if you want attention from a guy, wear a bow somewhere.  Advice from the girl who lives reality through dramas.  lol.  So the conclusion of all of this?  Deep down in there, all guys are fans of Hello Kitty; they just can't resist her cute and classic red bow.

Did someone say Quattros?

Work went by relatively fast, thanks to an awesome lunch break spent drawing on my white board.  I can hear people smirking at it when they walk by.  lol.  I'll get a pic of it tomorrow at the office.  And opinions, please.  Should I ask my mom to mail me expo markers?  I feel bad for stealing my mentor's when he's not looking....lol.

In the meantime, I'm REALLY missing TexMex food like no other.  And it feels really awkward when I crave Mexican food here, because I automatically say TexMex, but obviously they don't have TexMex.  *sigh*  Although I had my favorite Cuatro's tuna tacos right before I left Austin, I'm craving them again.  ergh.  To remember, post #4.    


























[[edit]]

Masterpiece of 2010 right here, baby!  Co-artists, Mike & Tiff :)





















Scream on the far left, Buzz Light Year right above, Starry Night right above that, Ken right by Scream, Bear from Toy Story 3, Barbie, a train, a bomb, us minnions underneath the train, a dinosaur, and volcano.  Go figure.

Yeah, I'm not really sure why I gave up a career in art.  lol.

Threeeeeeee!

Hiiiiiiiii.  I'm sounding reaaaaaally happy.  ok, I'll stopppp this nowwwww before it gets annoyyyyying =D

Had a pretty eventful weekend, thanks to Mike & Shannon.  Scouted out enemy territory (aka OU - which I admit is very nice with all the cute fountains, green grass, flowers, and color coded buildings) and FINALLY got to watch Toy Story 3!!  To top it off, only for $3.75.  *gasps*  I haven't paid that price for a movie since I was in 3rd grade.  Seriously.

Added in the scarf because the outfit would be way too plain and dull by itself; I left all my accessories at home :(  And I can't believe I'm not breaking my scarves out until today when it's so windy in OKC.  I felt like a model walking home :)

So, I think I've lied.  ok, ok...I don't think I lied, I actually lied.  I just calculated how many outfit posts I should have, and it adds up to only 18, excluding Fridays and considering that I only have about three weeks left at my internship.  Oops....quite a big difference from 30.  Oh well...*awkward laugh*  Hope you don't mind.  Not that people really read this anyway, so it feels like I'm just being my usual self and talking to myself.  But, shame, shame, for lying to myself - and the (theoretical) you.  ....oops?

ahaha...jk ^^;;

You know, I hate fickleness, but in this case, I <3 my notebook's fickleness.  I was in the middle of backing up stuff in recovery mode, and then all of a sudden it shut down (which is where I started freaking out again) but then it just restarted back up with Windows.  And now I've been typing away happily and feel reconnected to the world ^_^

Anyway, here's outfit #2!

After work we had an intern bonding event at a place called RedPin Bowling.  It felt a bit awkward because the interior design made it look really upscale and stuff but, come on, it's bowling lol.  Had some reaaaally good mac & cheese (grown up, btw, may I add; at least that's what the dish was called) for cheap which made me happy :)  Oh, and a pintini.  Such a cute name.  *^^*  No pics, sorry, because only the weather was on my mind and I only prepared for that.  ahaha...now that I think about it, I really looked like a dork because I wore my rubber polka dot rain boots underneath all that spiffiness on top.  I take comfort in that I'll never see some of those people I saw that day again.  lol.

The clouds are looking as gloomy as Eeyore....my prospects for a dry weekend aren't looking good.  *sigh*  Hope it's nice and dry where you guys are!!  *slaps y'alls butt*  xD

Uh-oh, spaghetti-O!

Man, just as I was about to get into the habit of blogging everyday, the world ends - literally.  My computer has caught a very, very nasty virus, and therefore is currently very, very ill.  So ill that not only will Windows load properly anymore, but that I will most likely have to go to the extreme and erase everything.  Which means that I'll lose all my pictures that I've taken this past year.  Not to mention the 16,000+ songs that I've collected over the years, too.   >____<

begin rant/ And ARRGHH...I feel SO STUPID.  Before it got this bad, I totally should have done a system restore.  But nooooo....because Tiff's stupid she totally didn't think about it.  RAWR.  AND I could've backed up all my shit when the comp was still functional...  RAWR.  ok /end rant.

*sighh*  trying to numb the pain.....so in the meantime, please forgive me for the lack of posts.  In the meantime, something inspirational:

Don't play with fire.  Because it will own you and you will burrrrrrrrrn.

Kick off \\w00t//

So...I lied.  No cute and patriotic July 4th outfit because it was raining and cold.  *tear*  But it's OK, because it was warm and fuzzy inside my apt due to my family coming up  ^___^  Had a great time just chilling with family and watching chick flicks - finaaaaaally got to see The Proposal, btw!  Really cute chick flick.

*drum roll*  And the kick off for my attempt at reusing clothes in my closet.  yayyy....let's see if I can make it to thirty lol.

This week is just flyin' by....don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.  lol.  So much stuff I still haven't done yet!  But I gotta admit too, I'm looking forward to Friday haha.

TiFF'S Thirty Twist

haha.  Like my attempt at alliteration?  I originally was going to name this post "TiFF's Thirty Tumble," but thanks to thesaurus.com I saved myself from ridicule =)

So, I was following Linda on little tin soldier and she just announced that she was going to do a 30 remix.  I followed Kendi when she went through the painful (but creative and fun!) and all of a sudden I realized, hey, I should try this too!  Now, under the usual circumstances, I would never attempt this because 1) I dress according to my mood; what if I wasn't in the mood for any of the pieces I picked for the remix?! 2) I would unnecessarily guilt myself because of the excess of clothes I have invested in that are not necessary, 3) I'm afraid I will run out of ideas, 4) the whole idea just freaks me out.

Buuuuuut, now that I'm in OKC, the situation has changed.  I was forced to pack my life of clothes into a suitcase, and because I have to wear business casual everyday, my choices are very limited; 90% of my closet is full of casual clothes.  So since I've basically been doing this "Thirty Twist" for a month now, might as well document it.

So here is what I'm dealing with that is "work appropriate":
(Yeah, I knowwwww, it's boring as hell.  Hats off to McCombs for that.  We're stuffy white collar dressing b-school students.)



P.S - This "Thirty Twist" only applies Monday-Friday.  I know, I know, it kind of goes against the ethics of the whole idea, but I don't really go out on the weekends anyway (let's not go into how anti-social I am...), so it's not really worth including those days.  lol.

So, Thirty Twist, HERE I COMEEEEEEE!  But before that, I'll update later with a July 4th post :)
