Laundry Strike - over!

Well, I survived my laundry strike. Now I'll be doing laundry for the next week and a half.

I made it 70 days.

I could've made it a tad longer, but I just didn't want to. I had a dress and a couple skirts left, but day 71 just felt like a jeans day. So I washed 'em and wore 'em.

Now I'm back to picking what ever the heck I want out of my closet, and it feels so good!!

Laundry Strike - Day 69-70

Day 69 - Skirt Tuesday! And it's also freezing outside. So I figured skirt (bare legs) + sweater = warmth. I was dead wrong. Also, why have I never worn this skirt before. I love it!!!

Day 70 - Hippy shirt day! I'm quickly running out of things that match.

Laundry Strike - Day 66-68

Day 66 - Normally I would be wearing my jeans, thermal and thift store sweater (it's cold in Florida!), but I spilled coffee grinds all over them! Have you ever seen those free compost grinds that Starbucks gives away? Well, be careful if you take a bag ...

Day 67 - Wedding wear! Since it's chilly, I'm glad I own 1 almost long sleeve dress.

Day 68 - Since I woke up at the crack of dawn to get a new tire on my car, AND I'm out of jeans, it's sweatpants day at Walmart!

Laundry Strike - Day 64-65

Day 64 - I am rapidly running out of clothing! Could this outfit be any more blah?!?
Day 65 - This is one of my favorite shirts. I like the color, and I like the 3/4 sleeves. Why did I wait so long to wear it?!?

Laundry Strike - Day 60-63

Day 60 - Holy moly, I made it to week 2!

Day 61 - Making some new friends at the Magic Kingdom. Seriously, how cute is Flynn Ryder (character from the new movie Tangled)?

Day 61 - Ok, ok ... you got me. I'm wearing the same shorts as the day before. But I didn't watch them (hence, the laundry strike is still on!). And I'm just running in and out of Walmart ...

Day 62 - Skirt Tuesday. This is the skirt I made a couple months ago.

Laundry Strike - Day 56-59

Day 56 - I decided to change things up and wear a cardigan.

Day 57 - Happy skirt Tuesday!

Day 58 - Thank you laundry strike. I've never EVER worn these pants. I'm pretty sure they were hand me downs. They were a little tight on top, but overall a fun surprise. Does anybody else find clothes in their closet they kind-of forgot about?!?

Day 59 - Just a few hours at work in the wee hours of the morning (2:50am is the wee hours right?). Go Padres! (for some reason)

Laundry Strike - Day 53-55

Day 53 - More Breast Cancer awareness pink!

Day 54 - Brown cardigan time!

Day 55 - Magic Kingdom with the MouseScrappers gang!

Laundry Strike - Day 48-52

Day 48 - Never left the house! Cut me some slack on this one. I worked a lot last week.

Day 49 - Getting called in to work at 3am = black shirt. I think I have 1 long sleeve black shirt in my closet.

Day 50 - I just wanted to show off that this used to be a long sleeve sweater that was sooooooo hot. So I shortened the sleeves and now it's fantastic!

Day 51 - I'm officially out of jeans. Well, I have 1 skinny pair left. I'm not sure those are work appropriate.

Day 52 - I stood next to a guy who was wearing a lime green shirt. Everybody kept saying, "ahhhh - you guys match!" My shirt is yellow! It's an old shirt ... is it moldy or something?!?

P.S. Dear zit on my forehead,

Please go away.

Thanks,

Amber

Laundry Strike - Day 42-47

Day 42 - "You're a weiner" ... classic. And cozy for a little Food & Wine festival at Epcot.

Day 43 - I just want to say that I love this green shirt. I had a coupon for The Gap (I never shop there), but I found this beauty for only $6.

Day 44 - Skirt Tuesday! We were having a party at work, and I knew I would have to do a lot of lifting and walking, so I wore my coziest dress made out of t-shirt material. I had to dress it up a tad with a ... what else ... cardigan!

(Off topic - I bought a $5 cardigan today)

Day 45 & 46 - This is kind-of cheating, but I worked 20 hours in a row starting at 9:30pm on Wednesday night. That's not a typo ... 20 hours. So this was my outfit on Wednesday AND Thursday.

Day 47 - Pink day at work for Breast Cancer awareness. If you're paying attention to my blog, you'll recognize this cardigan! (I tore apart an ill fitting sweater and made it into a fun cardigan.)

Laundry Strike - Day 38-41

Wow - over 40 days in and I'm still going strong! Well, I'm almost out of jeans, so 'casual day' at work won't be so casual for me. Bummer

Day 38 - Boston thrift store Gap shirt for $1. I love it!

Day 39 - ADLS game 2. Go Rays!

Day 40 - Breast cancer awareness Friday. Go pink!

Day 41 - Casual Saturday at work. I only have 2 pairs of jeans left. Pair #1 are kind-of skinny. I don't think I can pull those off right now. So pair #2 it is!

Laundry Strike - Day 34-37

Day 34 - Almost 12 hour day at work. Just the day for a purple shirt that's pretty much made out of paper. I *heart* you H&M!

Day 35 - I had every intention of leaving the house, but then I never did. So I wasted one of my favorite t-shirts for nothing. I got it in (guess!) Hawaii in 2005. And it's a little chilly in Florida (low 80s!), so I'm rocking the fleece socks.

Day 36 - Yikes. Why didn't somebody tell me my pants are too tight. Gross!

Day 37 - Happy Skirt Tuesday! I don't like this white shirt, but that's kind-of the point of the laundry strike, to wear stuff I haven't worn in forever. And yet another Gap $3 thrift store skirt. What's the deal with Gap skirts and people giving them to thrift stores?!? I guess I shouldn't complain.

Laundry Strike - Day 31, 32, 33

Day 31 - It's Hawaiian shirt day at work. So I borrowed a shirt from my co-worker. I offered to wash it (thus breaking my streak!), but he took it home instead. Whew!

Day 32 - I was planning on wearing a purple cardigan over this shirt (it's not super duper work appropriate) but it's just so darn hot at work! So I saved a cardigan for another day.

Day 33 - Cardigan time! Today was a Friday in October. It was 'wear pink day' for breast cancer awareness. But October kind of snuck up on me, and I pretty much wore the opposite of pink - black!

Laundry Strike - Day 27-30

Day 27 - Lime green (man, I love that color for some reason) t-shirt and Doreen ... one of the original Mouseketters!

Day 28 - It's a billion degrees outside, so it's skimpy blue tank top day. (I'm in the front row, left side. The moronic girl with her eyes closed).

Day 29 - Again, it's a billion degrees outside, so it's another tank top day. Side note: the black shorts I'm wearing used to be capris. I cut off about 4 inches, made a hem, and wa-la - instant shorts! Capris on a short person like me look ridiculous.

Day 30 - Back to work, and it's Skirt Tuesday again! I thought it was "wear your Hawaiian shirt to work day", but it turns out that wasn't the case. Oh well, I was looking forward to giving this dress I made a 'test run'.

Wow - I'm one month into my laundry strike, and I still have a closet full of clothes. That's actually kind-of pathetic. Although, that 4 day cruise where I wore a uniform all day really helped out.

Laundry Strike - Day 24, 25 & 26

Day 24 - Back to work on Monday. Blah, blah, blah day. Perfect for a blah brown on brown outfit.

Day 25 - Skirt Tuesday! I changed at work before softball, so no exciting live photos. I love a good $5 Gap skirt from the thrift store!


Day 26 - It's 'fat pants' day. Every girl knows what I'm talking about.

Laundry Strike - Day 16-23

Wow - a whole week has gone by, and I still haven't done any laundry! This week was quite easy. I was on a business trip and wore a uniform for 4 days in a row! I actually had to wash the uniform over the weekend, so the washing machine got a little bit of work.

Days 16, 17, 18 19 & 20

Here's me in my snazzy uniform shirt. And that's Joe Rhode - super awesome Disney Imagineer! He created Expedition Everest (among many things).

Day 21 - Back to work. Since I just got off a cruise (for business - awesome huh!), I wore my fat pants. If you've ever been on a cruise, you know what I mean.

Day 22 - "I traded my boyfriend for a Yeti". Classy.

Day 23 - Headed over to my friend Kelly's house. Her house is always chilly, so I took a chance on wearing a long sleeve t-shirt (even though it's 90 degrees outside). My gamble worked out, I was quite comfy!

Laundry Strike - Day 13, 14 & 15

Day 13 - lazy day off ... never left the house. (man, I really need to change my habits)

Day 14 - Football jersey day at work! I'm all about wearing un-dress code related things to work. However, this worries me. If there is a football party during my laundry strike, what will I wear? I guess I can probably wear this shirt 1 more time with out washing it first.

Day 15 - I wore my 'fat jeans' to work again. So now they have to be washed. I hope I still fit in my 'non fat jeans' next Saturday! Yet another cardigan ...
