1 Button-Down | 3 Days | 3 Ways ~ Day 1

Hey y'all! Today kicks off the One Button-Down | Three Days | Three Ways event! Plus it's Awk+Awe Thursday! Woo! 

 Awkward:

• Being able to get most of your to-do list done and still be in your pajamas. I try to not do that, but I could. 
• When you look up the lyrics to a song and you think either, "I've been listing to THIS?!" or "Woooah I love this now!"
• Considering yourself a pretty strong person... until customer service tries to talk to in to staying another month. *sigh*
• Having a completely full-blown freak out session last Friday. I couldn't breath in between ranting about a million things and flopping all over beds and pacing and arms flailing and shaking with excitement over things to come. I hope y'all are getting as pumped as I am for this skirt line. 
• Getting a numb mouth on April Fool's Day thanks to my dad putting baby orajel on my toothbrush. 
• When dreams mix with reality and you start typing on your phone at 1 am... not good. 
• Walking around a strange town and not being used to the weird friendly people like the residents are. 
• Arriving home hoarse from singing at the top of your lungs for 4 hours trying to keep yourself awake. 
• Being asked to speak in front of the church... and not really having a plan. 
• Doing all my skirt line lists/numbers/information on lined notebook paper instead of on the computer. I can stay better organized and focused that way somehow. Plus it means I can take my work into the field (literally) with me. 
• Realizing you're wearing two different flip-flops as you're on your way to lunch with someone. 

 Awesome:

• This warm weather! I didn't think about it being in the 80's when I chose this shirt. :P 
• Friends who take time to help you brainstorm about names or crunch numbers or visit factories. I could not do this without their support. 
• The power steering fixing itself.
• This quote, which is working its way to being my life's motto: "Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls." ~Mother Theresa
• Driving around with no place to go, arm hanging out the window singing at the top of your lungs on an absolutely GORGEOUS day to clear your head and revive your spirit, sipping alternately cold coffee and warm mandarin orange soda. Cured.
• Bell Tower Boutique! 
• Not being nervous as I head to a business meeting. Seriously, the grace of God is amazing because I was once the shyest girl you'd ever seen. Finding confidence in Christ is the best feeling ever. 
• Watching storms blow in. 
• Getting to take a factory tour when I met with my manufacturer on Monday. It was such a beautiful, friendly place. 

This is the only outfit I had thought of when I picked this shirt for this challenge! It'll be interesting to see what I come up with tomorrow. :P Because of the warm weather, I rolled the sleeves up as much as I could. To show off the button detail on my skirt, I tied the button-down, which also helped make it more flattering since it's so loose on me.
