“Committed” has more than one meaning.
- Red dress (last seen here), from Ann Taylor Loft– $20 on sale with coupon
- Jacket from Les Copains via Filene’s Basement, circa 2004
- Goldtone bracelets from Mumbai (Bombay) via my Uncle John
- Gold platform peep-toes (last seen here) from Steve Madden via Filene’s Basement– $12
Sometimes I wonder about myself. “Self,” I say, “Can I call you ‘Self?’ Why do you continue to bother with this whole 250-outfit thing? You’re way behind schedule. You’ve had mono for two-and-a-half months and you’ll probably have it for another two-and-a-half because you’re the primary breadwinner and you can’t afford to take off more than a day at a time. In every photo you’re publicly posting to the Internet, your glands are swollen and your undereye circles are extra-dark and your pedicure is busted and your taxes are past due and even your dog doesn’t want to cuddle with you anymore. Give it up!”
As arguments go, it’s pretty strong. I certainly can’t find any holes in it. But, you see… I’m just that crazy.
I once pushed on through a pretty severe leg cramp to become the last official finisher of the Chicago Marathon.
26.2 miles… in about 9 hours.
102 more outfits in 79 days doesn’t seem quite so daunting now, does it?
As God is my witness, if I have to change outfits three times a day, I’ll do it! At this point? I couldn’t possibly look any crazier.

You GO Girl!!!
I love that dress on you. That color is perfect! Ur expression, hair & posing makes me think of the line “When we last saw our heroine…” So I guess that would end with fighting crime or something equally awesome.
Thanks, y’all. And thanks, KimB– that definitely makes me feel like the superhero I’m'a need to be.
You don’t HAVE to do it in 79 days. Why don’t you extend to Easter next year or something? So what if it’s a pretty year-and-a-half?!
The Pretty Year can be like Leap Year, it doesn’t have to have 365 days. It has however many days you say it does.
Finally, some colour!
I would say having mono for 2.5 months means you can officially extend your pretty year to the middle of March
but that’s just me and my loopholes talking
