Wacky Wednesdays

Today was Wacky Wednesday.  I haven't talked about this yet, but me and my bestie started this...I guess you would call it...MOVEMENT at work.  We dream up an unusual theme for each week, and then dress that way on Wednesday.  Here was the first one, pink tights day:
We work in a rather boring office, so you can imagine the reaction we got!  Everyone LOVED the outfits, though.  And yes, my tights were more purple than pink.  Sue me!  Next week was 'mix patterns' day:
I have to admit, I was in love with our outfits that day.  Mine is hard to see, but it's a graphic patterned top tucked into my favorite Banana Republic skirt.  (I haven't been able to fit into that thing for over three years!  Can I get a whoop whoop?!)  Today was 'homage to the 70s' in honor of Earth Day this Friday, which was started in 1970: 
You have to see us 'fashionable ladies' lounging in our office conference room....I think it's hilarious that I totally match the chairs. 
The idea is to wear things that people wouldn't think to wear, or would be afraid that they 'couldn't pull off'...we're proving that you CAN wear mixed prints, loud tights, a necklace charm shaped like a sneaker, and polyester shirts with attached neck bows.  Just not all together, and always with a good dose of neutral, black, or similar colors.  Check out our Facebook page if you get a chance, we are hoping to get on Good Morning America (or at least our local news) and start the 'Wacky Wednesday' movement all across the country! 

ps - Wacky cofounder Jean (my adorably petite friend that makes me look like a giant in these pictures) has declared that for the week of my wedding, the theme will be: 'Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed and Blue Eyeliner.'  The club office can't even handle us right now!!

  13. This cracks me up! Every time I wear knee high boots or colored tights, I get odd looks. But, it's worth it. Live it up! I'm feeling inspired to try wacky Wednesday in my conservative office. ;)

    (PS Do you have to wear tights/pantyhose, too? We do here, and no open toed shoes, and I was thinking we may be the last remaining office with the rule.)

  19. That's one sassy bow you've got in the 70's outfit. What's next week's theme?

  20. In the 1st pic your hair looks fab (although it looks awesome wavy, too)! Did you blow it straight yourself or have it done? Loving the Wacky Wednesday theme :o)

  21. This is too awesome! I support the Wacky Wednesday movement!

  22. Kim - we can have bare legs, I'm not wearing any hose or tights in the second pic. We also can wear open toed shoes, but no 'thong' style sandals. That sucks about your work being so fuddy duddy!

    Lisa - Next Wed is 'complementary colors' day - as in, opposites on the color wheel. Red and Green, Yellow and Purple, Blue and Orange!

    Kat - I straighten it from time to time, but never have to fully blow dry it. I will wash it the night before, sleep on it wet, and it's usually ready for the flat iron in the morning after a quick blow dry.

  28. I might be able to give you the hook up on getting on the news in Milwaukee. You're in Milwaukee, right? I dated this guy for like five minutes when we both lived in Rochester, MN (we went on one date and found out we were way better friends than lovers)....anywho, he has since moved from the area (so have I) and is now a news reporter in Milwaukee. He is my FB friend. Want me to send him your way? Your fun idea is totally newsworthy. At least I think it is. Makes me kinda wish I could pull it off with the group of nannies I work with. Stop over to my blog if you want me to put you in touch with Tom, ok? Stop over to the blog either way, though. We love visitors. And comments too. (yes, that was a shameless blog plug)

  29. Awesome! Your Wacky Wednesdays remind me so much of a school where I used to work. There, every Wednesday day was an early dismissal day, and they had "fun days." Each Wednesday was a different theme, and since the school was for grades K-8, you can probably imagine some of the silly themes that the students came up with. It was also my favorite day of the week.
