Is this blazer ablaze, or what?! Man, I crack myself up. I also can’t stop, won’t stop with my love of “rorange” this summer. This blazer is red enough that I think it counts as repping the ol’ red, white, and blue just in time for the Olympics.

Is everyone enjoying the Olympics so far? It’s crazy how fast these people can swim. And I bet it’s even faster than it looks on TV. I wish I could go to the pool with Michael Phelps just to get a true sense of how fast he is. I’m pretty sure he would get to the other end and back, and I would still be standing by the edge. Granted, that’s because I would be pouring a margarita. I mean, you can’t go the pool without a pool-appropriate beverage, right? Right. So by the time I prepped, poured, and sipped my marg, got in the pool 2 inches at a time, and swam halfway across, Michael would’ve burned 1000 calories and I would feel like a complete joke. Still, I think it would be a cool experience. I’m going to go ahead and start carb loading in preparation.

A couple weeks ago when it was negative a million degrees, I assumed this “polar vortex” thing was a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. Apparently it is a twice-in-a-month occurrence. Awesome. The first time around, I was lucky enough to be able to stay safely inside. This time I actually have class and other things to do. In addition to what you can see above, I’m also wearing tights and socks under my pants. (Let me tell you: it makes a big difference!)

And because I’m amazing, I managed to pile on all these layers without wearing any black! That’s right, no polar vortex is going to stop me from completing my challenge. Who else is doing the Black Out challenge? Be sure to share your outfit photos on Twitter or Instagram and tag it #BlackOutStyle. Nicole and I will share the names (and links for bloggers) of participants at the end of the week!
