No Pants April: Day 30

 

No Pants April Day 30: 

My pink skirt, gray tee and riotous rose bushes are kissing you goodbye, No Pants April! Until next year...

Kissie Kissie, Buh Bye now! 

No Pants April: Day 29

 

No Pants April Day 29:
It was a 2 outfit kind of day, with a very simple but dressy black dress for church covered by my R2R tee, and a more relaxed dress for an afternoon of seeing Avengers: Infinity War with Dan, followed by pizza and movies with the Man Crew.
We're nearly done, friends. No Pants April ROCKS!

No Pants April: Day 28

No Pants April Day 28:
Kristy's 2nd ever migraine means no pics, but for the few moments I was vertical for the day, I wore this beauty.
Edit: I am thinking I gave myself the migraine from trying to play paper with Amanda while wearing my new bifocals. D'oh! Lesson Learned.

Screen Free Week 2018

 Screen Free Week cometh! Are you prepared? I am desperately wanting to do better than last year, but I'm also working hard to be reasonable. So, here's the plan. We are going to participate from Monday to Friday, but not the weekend. It's simply too frustrating to spend our entire weekend avoiding the LR because Hercules is not participating. Also, that's quite lonely for Dan if we are hiding from him all weekend. It's a bit convenient that DT's tablet is broken right now, so one less temptation, right? I actually found a good deal on a new Kindle Fire 10, so it's ordered and on it's way, but he won't get it until after SFW is over. The only screens we will be using this week will be educational screens such as our math curriculum, or our DuoLingo app for Spanish. I'll be checking my email and bank account, and using the screen at work, but my FB and Blog will both run silent after I post my final No Pants April photos on the 30th. We will fill the bulk of our 'extra time' with things like board games, hanging out with friends and listening to music. Here's a cute info-graphic with some ideas if you've no idea how to fill up an entire week without screens.
Best Wishes to us all.

No Pants April: Day 27

 

 No Pants April Day 27:
Green jumper, gray tee, tennies. Apparently I love this outfit....

...and this pose. LOL! 
Happy No Pants April to you, my friends! ~K~

No Pants April: Day 26

 

No Pants April Day 26:
Fun Black and White Sun dress with a black tee underneath, white canvas tennies, glasses and a flower in my hair. Fashionable, comfortable and not dragging on the floor. I declare today a win!

No Pants April: Day 25

 

No Pants April Day 25:
I waited until today for this outfit because it's pretty much my favorite and I knew I'd be tired of coming up with new combinations by now. LOL! Also, today would have been my Dad's birthday, and he always liked me in long, full skirts. So...long full green and gold gypsy skirt, brown knit tee, brown and gold flats.

No Pants April: Day 24

 No Pants April Day 24:
Aqua, purple and lime green floral skirt with sequins paired with a simple black tee. This one feels a bit too fancy for the office, but I was committed to as few repeats as possible so to work we went. I will mention that I was having a particularly good hair day, so that's always a bonus!

Ah, the difference a SnapChat Filter makes.

No Pants April: Day 23

 

No Pants April Day 23:
This aqua and blue tiered skirt has been a favorite for a few years. It's helping me meet my goal of not all my skirts dragging on the floor this year. And keeping me easy breezy beautiful for NPA2018.

No Pants April: Day 22

 No Pants April Day 22:
New-to-me Lularoe dress via eBay. I think I’ve found my go-to patriotic holiday outfit for this year.
IT HAS POCKETS!!

No Pants April: Day 21

No Pants April Day 21:
I was called out of retirement to fill in for Miss Julie today at the Gym Magic concession stand and my goodness, I had fun! I also remembered why I retired...my feet hurt! LOL!
Anywho, my pictures today are terrible and apparently my plan was if the pics are bad, just take a kajillion. At any rate, I'm calling it a victory that we are 3 FULL weeks into NPA2018 and this skirt is just now making an appearance. Long black skirt, Mama K Gym Magic shirt, glasses, hat hair and tennies complete the look. It's not the best look I've sported all month, but it is practical for the job at hand and it's still NPA compliant.

No Pants April: Day 20

 No Pants April Day 20:
My Made by Kaber Originals square 'circle' skirt. Paired with a gray tee with a lace overlaid yoke. Boom. Done.

No Pants April: Day 19

 

No Pants April Day 19:
Long black and white sheath dress and a plain black tee. Well, a plain black tee that says, "Most people wait their entire life to meet their favorite athlete. I'm raising mine." on it. Potato, Po-tah-toh. ;) This outfit makes me feel like a million bucks. Easy breezy beautiful. Everything No Pants April should be.

In other news, my front yard is glorious. Spring has sprung, y'all. 

Oh No Pants April, How I Love Thee!

 No Pants April: Halfway through update

Have I mentioned how much I love No Pants April each year? It's a delight to peek into my wardrobe each day and decide how fancy I want to be. It's always nice to garner many compliments each month for the 2 whole extra minutes you spend on your appearance. I feel prettier, more elegant, more lady-like and more put together during NPA than I do the rest of the year. I look forward to the opportunity to add or subtract items in my wardrobe, spend a few dollars on myself without feeling guilty, and the reminder that I probably own too many clothes. Like WAY too many, so it's a good time to edit out the things that no longer work well for me. Seems pretty WIN-WIN to me. Thanks, Kimberly, for thinking this up and letting me play along these past 4 years.


In other, and quite humorous news, I think we can all agree that participating in NPA each year has helped me up my selfie game. Can I get an AMEN?

What was I thinking? Taking a selfie with a DSLR is *ahem* problematic.

No Pants April Day 18

 

No Pants April: Day 18
 I'm L-O-V-I-N-G this wrap dress that I picked up for a steal at the FAMILY DOLLAR! It's as comfy as pajamas, as business casual as I need for work or church, and for only $7, I won't be heartbroken if I manage to ruin it. 

Knee length dress! Comfort, style, yaaaay!

As much as it pains me to say it, I'm digging my new bifocals.
Being old isn't all THAT bad, if I can be fashionable while I'm old. LOL!
