National Wear Something Gaudy Day


Today was National Wear Something Gaudy Day!

For some of you, celebrating might not be that difficult, but I didn't have too many gaudy things in my closet to choose from. However, I did find some old costume jewelry that I think fit the description of "gaudy" quite well!

I wore this ginormous ring around all day, even to a football game!

Also, just for your information, according the the official rules of National Gaudy Day, if you already dress gaudily most of the time, then you are supposed to dress like a normal person on this day.

So dig through your closet, find your gaudiest clothes, and wear them with pride today!

Sooo... I sort of failed in my celebrations this weekend. I was out of town and away from my own stuff, my own opportunities to be super gaudy. But I did wear something ridiculous!

I went on a four wheeling adventure with my friend Jonny. I was strongly advised to wear boots, but all I own are Converse! Pulling up on the bar to shift is hard on unprotected footsies. There happened to be a pair of boots in my friend's apt that were about my size... but they were snowboar
ding boots!

It was like walking with giant weights on my feet. The boots were a total disaster; they were too fat for me to slip my foot under the bar to shift, so Jonny had to reach down and shift with his hand. In addition, I totally bruised my tailbone on a jump. I bruised it bad! It was pretty epic.

And now... my boots, as I posed on the new bike. Oh my! They looked much funnier when I was waddling around on foot.
