Another week, another weekend. Ours was busy, which seems to the the current theme of our lives right now. We had my best friend over for brunch yesterday morning and tricked her into babysitting while Daniel and I went to grab groceries for a dinner party we were to host in the evening. We have a group of friends, consisting of three other couples, that gather together for a meal every other month. We call ourselves the Supper Club and we take turns hosting in our homes; it’s always a great opportunity to catch-up. It was our turn to entertain this weekend and we decided to throw a murder mystery party! Everyone was given a character in advance and arrived in costumes with props (there was a saxophone!). It was a lot of fun.
I digress.
We’re starting into our first week of our Project UrbanSimplify March Challenge. We’ll be choosing 30 items to wear for the duration of the month. Our wardrobes will look a little something like this:

There’s nothing in there to walk down the red carpet or anything nearly as pretty as Lupita Nyongo’s pale blue Prada, but at least my picks will last help last me through these 30 days.
A work uniform makes my life so easy – I’d really have too much choice for the evenings and weekends I think. As I do live in house clothes about 80% of the time, it feels like!
Who needs PJs?!
My sister stays with us 1-2 days a week. She insists we wear PJs.
