Day 1205: Closets

While talking through outfits for an upcoming trip, it occurred to us that my closet seems to be rather...odd. After all, I fill it purposefully with clothes that will be great for trips to Florida, because if they can stand up to the Disney test, obviously they'll stand up to everything else. 

Seriously though, I keep a lot of layers in my closet. Tank Tops that are classy, but still light enough for even the hottest summer days, lighter long sleeve shirts that are the best during late nights in the Magic Kingdom, and plenty of sweaters for during the colder months. For shoes I have a wide collection, from sandals, to tennis shoes, to boots, and back to flats, but my favorite selections are usually canvas shoes such as converse. 

The thing is, other people don't live like this. Most aren't concerned about what's going to work best for trekking across Epcot or participating in a Four Parks, One Day Challenge. So, in other words, my closet is now full of "travel clothes," with oversized sweaters for airplane rides and colored shorts for DisneyBounding.

And it makes it very different from anyone else's closet. Let me know what's in yours! 

Have a magical day! 

Day 1100: Hot or Cold

Leading up to every trip, regardless of where I travel, I tend to check out the weather forecast for while we're there, and thanks to technology, you can often check up to ten days in advance...although it's usually not correct that far out. This trip is a perfect example of incorrect weather forecasts, simply because they change by the day.

January in Florida seems to be notorious for changing weather, much like Wisconsin is all year long. As you can see in the picture, last January when we were there we went from shorts and t-shirts to bundled up in as many layers as we could find, and it seems that this January won't be much different...just with more of the bundled up part. After last year, Frank and I have decided that we're not traveling in winter without our coats again, so at least we'll have those along this time in case Mother Nature decides it's time for Florida to have a cold spell.

This back and forth weather does cause a few problems when trying to pack though. I honestly feel like I have half my closet in my suitcase, and even with trying to wear my thickest sweater on the plane, it's still pretty much filled up. We may only be staying in Florida for eight days this trip, but it seems like I have over two weeks worth of clothes, simply because I need layers upon layers to make sure I'm set for anything the weather might throw at us.

How I'm going to have room for all the stuff I'll buy, on the other hand, I'm not too sure.

Have a magical day!

Day 1029: What We Wear

If you've been following for a while, you know can probably tell that I spent a good amount of time thinking about my wardrobe. When I completely revamped my entire closet a couple of years ago, I made it a priority to incorporate color and pieces of clothing that could be used for outfit after outfit, especially in regards to DisneyBounding.

And yet, when I was trying to figure out what to wear to the Twin Cities Film Festival, I looked in my closet and realized that I had absolutely nothing to wear.

Which led me to thinking about the important outfits that have been a part of my life...or rather, the outfits I was wearing when really important things may have happened. For instance, we did have my outfit from the Twin Cities Film Festival, which consisted of a midi tule skirt from Charlotte Russe, a plain black long-sleeve shirt, some killer heels (really...they killed me after seven hours of wearing them), and a little bit of Hook flair in the form of a Hook necklace (Colin, I hope you appreciated that touch!)

But even before that, there have been some outfits that will forever live on in my memory as "the outfit I was wearing when this happened." Here are a few more examples: 

This was definitely an important outfit of my life...after all...it's how I got on Buzzfeed! 

I don't think I realized back in 2013 just how much one red leather jacket would impact my life. Honestly, I think after I got that jacket, that's when the OUAT world really started to turn into a complete whirlwind. I'm so thankful for everything that red leather has brought me, from roommates, to TCFF, to meeting tons of awesome people at D23, and right back to my own living room where I sit every Sunday awaiting more Emma Swan. 

When I picked what to wear to Alton Brown's show, I knew completely that I was picking something that I'd look back at for a really, really, really long time. I'm still happy with my choices, and I wear that outfit pretty frequently.

My Hook outfit doesn't really hold any importance, but I just like it. So it's on this list. 

I really enjoyed this DisneyBound back in the day...and it just so happens that this was the outfit I was wearing when I found out that my High School Band would be performing at Walt Disney World! 

And finally, I just have to include my Epcot gear, because this stuff, especially the sweatshirt, has gotten me through a lot of important life events. It's definitely still one of my favorite pieces of clothing, and it comes on every Disney trip with me...because a trip without the Epcot Sweatshirt would just be wrong. 

Do you have any important outfits in your life? 

Have a magical day!

Day 213: Disney Things I'd Like to Buy

Well, when trying to figure out what to write about for today, I was on Pinterest, like I often am, and decided that one board I don't really talk about much is my Disney Store board, which is basically all of the Disney things that are awesome and that I really wish I owned. It just sounded like something I could talk about, because while there are so many Disney things I wish I owned, there are really only a few that I have currently posted on my Pinterest board.

Alright, so I'm kind of obsessed with Donald Duck. He's probably one of my favorite characters. Like, my phone case is sometimes Donald, and I love my Donald Duck Sweatshirt absolutely to death! Actually, other than that I guess there isn't a lot of stuff that I have that's Donald, but you know. That just means that there's plenty of room for more Donald!

I'll be honest with this one. If someone buys me these, I'd be so happy for like...ever. If you are a blog reader and want to send me something ever, send me these. I would kill for such shoes. I would. Ok, maybe not.

I have one question: Why do I not have this for my computer? 

You can't not have Disney luggage. I guess I have some Disney luggage, but this one is seriously awesome. I would love to have these suitcases, and if I ever have to actually buy new suitcases I'm pretty sure I'll buy these or something like these. It just seems like a thing I need to do. 

And finally, this. I just need this. I think we ALL need this. Just saying. 

So, if you ever want to get me a gift...these are all great choices. That or anything Canadian. I love Canadian things. That might just be because I'm currently watching an ApprenticeEh vlog though. 

Here's today's Disney History: 1942: Disney's 5th full length animated feature Bambi has its U.S. premiere at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

Have a magical day!
