Very little known fact about me:

I used to be the host of Germany’s Extreme Home Makeover. Don’t believe me? Just watch this…

I’ve been thinking, it’s not really fair that only athletes get to compete for gold medals. I propose we have an Olympics for the average Joe-schmo. I call them “The Olympic Alternatives”!

Events will include:

-Arm Wrestling

-Extreme Dishwasher Emptying (this will be my event)

-Kite Flying

-Puzzle Completing

-Synchronized Rollerblading

-Freestyle Sledding

-and more…

If Race Walking can be a sport, then why can’t the above?! Do you feel you excel in anything that could become an event in my Olympics? If so, what would you get a gold medal in?

This past weekend, I went to a shower to celebrate my best friend becoming a bride. Because it was a girly party, I wanted a cute, classy and comfortable outfit.

I recently purchased this green skirt from veryjane.com and couldn’t wait to wear it. Since this was the perfect opportunity, I looked on my Pinterest style board for inspiration. I found this picture and decided to pair it with a chambray shirt and belt.

I have been wanting to wear a scarf around my head, as inspired by my friend Hannah’s instagram (I’m desperately trying to get her to do a guest post). I picked a blue green scarf I own and tried to wrap it around my head, but it was ultimately too long and looked weird, so I switched to my white scarf with green polka dots. I attempted to tie it in a knot like this, but had a hard time.

I couldn’t get a nice knot, so I just decided to keep it as a bow and wear it on the side of my head. Then, I settled on simple pearl earrings, since the scarf was so busy already and paired it with a simple white ring.

For the shoes, I chose a gray suede pump to give me height, since the skirt hits me below my knees, causing me to look shorter. I considered wearing sandals, but the pump matched the dressy vibe I was going for.

Finally I topped it off with some bright red lips because it makes any outfit girly in an instant.

And THIS is the final product.
