Remix Grand Finale: The good bad and ugly

And now that I feel like a wild animal unleashed I have no idea what I will wear next. Any bets on what my first NON remix outfit will include?? Oh the suspense!!

Remix Reflections: definitely too much black in my items. 2 pairs of shoes I barely wore and 1 top I only wore 1time. I love boots (but you already know that) and I love scarfs- thats pretty apparent. AND black, red and white is one of my favorite and fairly non-descript color combos.. oh how fast 30 days goes by. BUT think about it. It only takes 30 days to develop a habit. BAD or Good habit.  What good habit might you want to develop that you could begin NOW, before those stoopid New Years Resolutions???

Disclaimer: sorry for these tiny photos.. I am somewhat blogger challenged and couldn't figure out how to make them bigger without you having to scroll through a huge long blog post!!! Remember-- me was hired for my looks :) lol

Remix 30: Take Two (for REAL I DID it this time)

Day 30. For REAL this time!! I am done. did it . wore it. saved it. thought about it. liked it. loved it.  will miss it.  Okay okay.. This challenge was totally fun.  I got to squeeze out some creativity I didn't know I had. I wore outfits I would never have put together otherwise and I never actually felt like " I don't have anything to wear".  I can't believe I even think that with my existing wardrobe with all the items in it. That's simply crazy. So, this challenge has just reinforced that I am simply CRAZY. But I already knew that :).  Seriously, I HIGHLY recommend that everyone does this kind of a challenge to put your wardrobe into perspective and as a way to come up with more ideas.  AND you don't shop for 30 days, which for me actually wasn't that hard.

YESTERDAY, I was so touched.  20 York Street quoted me on her blog AND she gave me a Stylish Bloggers Award. How super awesome is that???  Please do take a look at what she quoted me saying.. whatever about what I said, more importantly that she thought it was important enough to quote. VERY cool.

Thanks ML.. me LUVS you xoox j

Remix Items:  Crazy skirt, black turtle neck, black stretchy boots Z(aka socks with heels :)

Remix 21: I CAN'T COUNT

Day 21 ??. I missed Day 21 completely.  Today is actually 29 then. Apparently I CAN'T COUNT.  So all  excited saying I DID it yesterday and when I was going through my photos do make a  montage I see I missed Day 21 and Day 28.  Emma even asked if she had missed 28?  So, yes, I was hired for my looks, not my statistical and numerical intellect. Please document that as secret #11!!

Remix Items: Zebra/flower? dress, long black sweater, brown knee high boots.

I had alot of trouble coming up with an outfit this morning, but after I put it all together I was quite happy with this one. What do you think?

Day 28 outfit to post tomorrow as Day 30 (again:) and THEN I will be done!!  Oh boy. Don't give me your money to keep track of.. that would be dangerous!!! LOL

Remix 30: I DID it!!

 

Day 30.  I did it.  I am now officially a REMIXER!! I not only wore my items for 30 days straight AND take pictures, I did not cheat either!!!  Now that I am weaned off of shopping I am not sure what I will do with myself.. I dont even feel excited about being set loose in a thrift store.. oh boy what happened to me?  Who are you and what have you done with Jodi??   Today I even had a photographer. That was cool, so thanks Rita-roo, these turned out pretty funky!!

Guess what? It's my birthday next friday and a bunch of girls (led by Cinderita) are planning a surprise for me...meaning, I have been given instructions to wear comfortable clothing and organize some kind of ride for myself and thats all I know.  This is totally exciting because I haven't done something like this before and to tell the truth, I am both really excited, AND nervous as heck!!!    I guess I am too used to growing up with brothers  because all I keep thinking is " I hope they don't shove me in a car and drive top speed backwards, or make me do a beer bong" hah hah

Remix Items: Pink blouse, green sweater, tweed skirt, black shoes.

Stay tuned as I will post a summary of all outfits and a Remix debrief!!  I should be able to get by to visit tonight too so look forward to catching up with you all!! Hi to new followers- you RULE!!

Lovely Ladies: Nicole

As a woman, one of my most sinful pleasures in life is shopping for, and wearing a fantastic HOT pair of shoes. The right pair of shoes can transform any miserable moment or mood into a rich pleasure-filled and divine experience. As much as I love wearing the perfect pair of shoes, I also love the indulgence and the 'dance' of searching for and finding those shoes. For me, it is like falling in love with an amazing and sensual man, incredible bottle of wine, the chocolate that leaves you wanting more or the book that you just have to finish even though it is 3am on Wednesday morning. 

There is nothing like the moment when I place both of the new shoes on and stand in front of the mirror. I am often left breathless and awed by their fabric, texture and color and what they do for my body and how alive and sensual they make me feel. The shoes in this photo can only be described as the most intense and mind-blowing kiss from a man I am falling in love with, the most vibrant and memorable bottle of wine and chocolate I have ever tasted and the 300 page book I finished in 4 hours because I could not bear to put it down. 

Photoshoot compliments of Jodi :)

Remix 27: Too late for light

HI to new followers.. my pics are usually better than this I promise!!! Nice to meet you!!

Remix items: Black skirt, black t-shirt, black boots

Remix 26: When it rains, it pours

Day 26. I mean REALLY. When it rains, it pours.  Here's my day: work from home. Go out to pick up fiances bday present for party tonight. Stop to shoot photos. Not so good. Moving to another location.  HIT CAR.  Yes, I was in a car accident and it was my fault.  Luckily there are barely any scratches on the other car, but a good few chunks missing from our bran new car.  I have just had it this week.  All I could do was sit in the drivers seat and bawl my eyes out.  This just feels like the final kicker for a shit week all around let me tell you.  I think I will go over to 20 York Streets place and hang with her tonight and drink wine and listen to slurpy sad songs and wallow in it!!

Anyway you get 'Jodi Unplugged' today and some crappy outfit photos along with a dented, broken bran new car. Oh, yeah and fiances bday with no present yet!!   I hope you have a better start to the weekend than I do.  Promise I will be in better spirits next week!!  Love ya xoxo J

Remix Items: Brown long sweater, black capris, knee high brown boots

Secrets #10-19

I got tagged by Kristen a few weeks ago and am tasked with answering the following questions.  Consider these secrets #10-19... oh you are getting to know me!!

1.  What did you want to be when you grew up?
A park ranger. I saw the Wilderness Family (movie) when I was really really young and I wanted to live in a tower in the bush on fire watch.  Of course when I got older and found out that BC Parks wasnt the way to get rich I forgot that idea..!

2.  Favorite childhood game?
Yahtzee!  My grammy would come over EVERY Sunday with her Yahtzee game. I was so young bu all I remember to this day is her voice exclaiming (very loudly) "YAHTZEE!!! "  and we would laugh and laugh EVERYTIME!!

3.  Most favorite birthday?

When I turned 20.  I was working in West Africa and I had a big party on the beach. That was cool.  I had goat meat and everything!!

4.  Something you have always wanted to do and haven't yet?
Marry Wayne Dyer.  We are still discussing the date.

5.  What was your first love?
hmmm, WHAT, not WHO? Dried apricots.  I went to school with a hippie kid who I used to trade lunches with. He wanted my white bread sandwiches and wagon wheels and I wanted his brown seed bread sandwichs with sprouts and the baggie of dried apricots.  I thought dried apricots were the cats meow!!

6.  First musical idol?
Michael Jackson.  I was going to marry him.  sigh.

7.  Favorite gift?
When I gave my mom a whitewater rafting trip for her 60th bday.  That rocked my world. Her and I rafted rapids for 3 days and it was sooo much fun.  She thought I was trying to kill her with water, but not true (really mom!!)

8.  If a theme song played everywhere I went what would it be?
James Bond theme song. For sure!! I consider myself a secret agent for the powers that BE :)

9.  Favorite city to visit?
SAN FRANCISCO!!  Unless of course you want to sponsor me to visit your city, then it would be your city :P

Thanks Kristen baby, that was fun.  Guys, check out Just When you Thought...  Kristen rocks the photography and she is just plain cute!!!  xoxo J

Remix 25: Some flower power

Day 25. Don't I look worn out and frazzled? Well, thats because I am.  For 3 nights now, I have woken up at almost 3am on the dot each night. And not been able to get back to sleep. Work Stress  I call it.
So today I work from home review focus on prioritizing my work and what needs to get done, and get real about the stuff that I have been saying is urgent but really can wait.  Truth is, I feel absolutely fried right now. Just like a crispy piece of bacon.   The tennis court is an appropriate photoshoot today, just reminds me of how I 've been running around chasing all the balls that are dropping!! This outfit was thrown together and  do love the colors and I love this old dress, it's me and my hair that looks rough!!

Remix Items: Flowered dress, green sweater, black boots

Hopefully maybe I made you smile, at least with the bacon comment. I feel too tired to be funny right now. Instead I am going to have a nap!! Toodle doo ladies.  Oh yeah. Did you know Today is Colette's Bday?? Colette from Statements in Fashion??  You might want to go on over and wish her a good one- she's gettin to be an old lady after all :P
