Foot Loose

I have really been digging the red and purple combos I have been seeing other bloggers wear this week. Since I didn't include the necessary items in my 30 to try out the look I decided to wear red and purple accessories together. The combo is just so pretty!

I am really itching to workout. Earlier this week I woke up with an excruciating pain in my left foot. Walking was painful and I could not bend my foot so basically I had to walk like I had a peg leg. The next day my foot was not any better so I went to the doctor. The doc took x-rays and thankfully I didn't have a fracture. The doc said I have tendinitis. So she gave me an anti-inflammatory and told me to ice my foot 4 times a day. Soft tissue can take up to 12 weeks to fully heal. I can start working out again once the pain go away as long as whatever I do doesn't aggravate my foot. I haven't worked out in almost a week and I am getting antsy. Hopefully tomorrow I can get back to the gym. I don't want to lose any of the progress I have made in the past month.

Snakes On A Skirt

I experimented a little with using the flash when I took these pics. The pic on the left is no flash and the pic on the right is with flash. There are positives and negatives about both. If I had more professional editing tools, I am sure I could light the no flash pics in a way that I liked. Right now I just use PhotoScape. At the moment I don't have the funds to purchase Photoshop.

I really like this blouse. I bought it the weekend before the challenge started at The Loft. They had 30% all regular priced merchandise. I needed a nice, white blouse and this one is perfect!

My little dog, chewed a hole in my only pair of black tights. So I broke the rules and bought another pair. I couldn't go 20 without black tights so I went to TJ Maxx. I thought I would be able to find a quality pair there without spending a lot. Apparently, they get rid of their tights after Christmas because they only had one pair left in my size. This pair was on clearance for $4 so I bought them. Well before lunch, I had a large tear in the inside of my thigh. By the end of the day, the tear ran up from my knee to the top of my leg. Awful! So I am going to order a pair from We Love Colors. I am going to order a pair of the MicroFiber Solid Color Tights in black and a pair of the Solid Color Tights in black. I wear tights pretty much year round so I don't want the MicroFiber tights to be so thick I can't wear them to work in the summer. This will be my test of We Love Colors. I hope they are as great as everyone says!
