Day 27: Hunter Boots Once Again!
OK, so this outfit is admittedly very casual, especially since I'm meeting a new client today- but when the weather includes rain and stomping around yards you have got to sport the Wellie boots!
Day 26: Zoobilee Try On Day 2
Day 25: Zoobilee Dress Shopping Day 1
Day 24: Tacoma Pride!
My "Free Advice" Booth at Tacoma Gay Pride was a huge success. I gave away lots of advice about bankruptcy, real estate, getting out of the friendzone with that girl you like, how to do something nice for a stressed out pregnant friend, and how to stop dating guys that treat you like poop.
It was fantastic and I got lots of sun!

Day 19: Summer Dresses! BECAUSE IT'S STILL SUNNY OUT!
Friends from sunnier climates who may be reading this blog might be wondering why I keep talking about how nice it is. "It's JULY for crying out loud," I hear you say. "Of COURSE it's sunny!"
Au contraire, my friends from afar. This year has been a la nina or something and Western Washington has been way chilly and antagonistic to sun dresses, but it is totally 75 degrees today and I am totally wearing a sundress. With POCKETS.
Yes.
Day 18: Celebrating Freedom on the Campaign Trail!
This 4th of July I celebrated by visiting Freedom Fair on Ruston Way with my friend Erik Hanberg- or as I like to call him "Commissioner Hanberg."
Erik is running to keep his seat on the Metro Parks Board and we passed out buttons and stickers to the park going citizens of this great land.
USA!

Day 15-Summer is here and it is GREEN SUNDRESS time!
It's 70 degrees! EPIC HEAT WAVE, everyone! I know that this green sundress does not scream, "Intimidating Power Suit" but I could think of no better way to finally welcome summer. The dress is from Old Navy and the shoes are (GULP!)

Day 10: Night and Day!
This next shot is 45 minutes after the fundraiser ended, painting my friend Rochelle's new house before she moves in next week. The color is very bold. As are my favorite pair of painting jeans. It felt very strange to have my hair and makeup all fancy and paint a house- but in a good way!

Day 6: Last Time I Wore This Top Was For A Britney Spears Concert
I am hearing that I could be bringing it a bit more. The jeans were a laundry based neccesity this morning, but the top is from the back of the closet. The last time I wore this baby was Britney Spears' Circus Tour at the Tacoma Dome, which was like 2 years ago. Let us all remember the glory that was the circus tour...shall we?

Day 3: Community Service Day Chic
My my my, aren't YOU ALL being so honest with your feedback. Good thing I read all those self esteem books! Well, it's not all POWERSUITS and SPIKE HEELS, People! Today is Windermere Professional Partners Community Service Day and my look is set to sweat. Workout pants, cotton tshirt (FROM ROSS DRESS FOR LESS!) and Silver Sneakers as my piece of flair. Rake accessory.
So I get a pass today because it's Community Service Day, but I hear you loud and clear (the turtlenecks suck, I get it!) and I will be stepping it up next week, ya'all!

Day 2 Realtor Outfit: Doesn't This Jacket Inspire Total Trust and Confidence?
When I first got my Real Estate License back in 2005, I was very worried that I didn't LOOK like a Realtor. I had been working as a commercial carpenter for a year, and frankly, was looking a bit burly. My theory back then was that if I had some BIG JEWELRY and a few BOLD LONG JACKETS- people would KNOW I was a Realtor! They would assume I knew what I was talking about!
Nowadays, I DO know what I'm talking about and I have experience and confidence, but I notice that whenever I'm meeting someone new, wanting to project confidence, or distract from the fact that I'm wearing jeans- I bust out the big jewelry and the long bold jacket.

Day 1 Realtor Outfit: Comfortable Stripes?
Wait. Is there an issue with my Realtor outfits?
Last week I had the honor of being on the cover of the Weekly Volcano for their "Sexiest" issue as "Sexiest Realtor" which was obviously flattering and awesome. Shortly after it dropped, someone looked at my outfit (jeans and a turtleneck) and said, "You don't dress very sexy. You better start dressing better." Really?
I shared that on Facebook to find out if I really do have a dressing issue and discovered in the comments that (strangely enough) people do have opinions about my Realtor Outfits. It is true that I've never rocked the Red Power Suits and Leopard blazers more customary in my line of work. I've told myself (perhaps deluded myself) that I'm a different kind of agent and I have my own style. Perhaps I am mistaken.
So I am launching this blog. It will be 30 days of my Realtor Outfits for you to rate and comment. See those stars? That's the rating system. Let's do this.
