Dress Up Challenge. Week 1

I was asked, "What is the point?"

The point is to get to wear something you aren't wearing. I would be willing to bet there are some really cute things in that closet of yours that need to come out.

And if I am wrong...

Then you need to go shopping. And that is never a bad thing.

P.S. Week 1 down. It was fun to actually plan out what I was wearing for the week. I'm excited to do it again this week. I only had 1 shirt I wasn't too thrilled about wearing. Not too bad eh?

Who wants to join me?

Its that time of year again. No, its not what you are thinking. I know its autumn... But it is my annual "Clothing Challenge" (for lack of a better title).

What am I talking about you ask?
Here is the deal: I love clothes. My dad call it a sickness. I call it good clean fun. I don't know about you, but I am always wanting new clothes. And I find myself wearing the same 8-10 items all the time. I counted how many tops were hanging in my closet today. 51. Not joking. There is NO way I have even wore them all this summer. And that is not including what was on my body and in the wash.
That, my friends, is a problem. So here is the challenge, (I am doing it...you can too)

1. Take a look at your closet. Count the shirts. You can do it. Then go back and donate/sell (whatever you prefer) anything that you have not worn this summer.

2. Then, organize the rest of them in any order you prefer.
3. Now, here is the tough part. Wear them. All of them. You are allowed to switch the order if the weather doesn't correspond with the shirt.

*Here is the clincher: If you try on a shirt and for whatever reason ("I look fat", "I don't feel like wearing this color", "I wish it was looser in a certain area"...whatever...) You MUST get rid of the shirt.

Anyone willing to try it with me? The challenge starts Sunday and goes through Oct. 31. I will update every Friday. Feel free to leave a comment about how it is going for you. Good luck!

This Cape Hatteras Light House. The tallest one in the U.S. Its too bad we got there when it was pretty much dark. And we were terrified of the mosquitoes. So we stayed in the car and took a picture. We rock.

You think he is cute...

But we thought otherwise. This is his reaction the first time we took him to the beach. So lame. He cried because he didn't like the way the sand felt.

Brooke on the other hand could care less. She just sucked on her toes.

And slept. On the beach.

Q: Whats wrong with this picture?

A: Jamie's sunglasses = too big

Bryan's sunglasses = too small!

We took a trip to an aquarium in Virginia Beach on our way to North Carolina.

The Gieco Gecko. I thought he would be cooler.

Brooke at the Otter exhibit. Real or fake? I will never tell.

Sharks + boys = trouble.

Virginia Beach definitely made our Top 20 list of places we could live. Its was so pretty. The beach here is great! And there is a pine forest. Awesome.

6 Months Already?

Where did the time go???

Thanks for the great pictures McCall!

You know you are safe when...

You receive a citation on your front door from the Police saying you have violated code. One might ask..."What in the world have the Hays' done to get the attention of the Munhall Police department???"
The answer is obvious. If you had the time to look over the fence into the back yard.

But seriously?! The Police have that much time on their hands in my little bourough??? Really?"Oh come on officer! Our grass isn't out of control! Not at all!"

Okay. Maybe it was. Just a little. This is the yard half mowed. Eek.
