What a Wreck!

Good news is, the remixing is going rather smoothly, no major meltdowns. Saturday I said I'd give you outfits 1-3 and now you shall have them. Plus one. Not so good news is, I almost had a heart attack finding my camera cable after forgetting to put my memory card in and work has just been hectic with the training I've been doing. Also, I may or may not have fallen asleep almost immediately after eating dinner last night due to sheer exhaustion. So for you, I guess there really is no bad news...besides the blubbering...

Moving on to the outfits!

 Not only is this a test of my creativity when it come to making outfits, but also how much I am able to conceal my inner goofball, as is apparent in Day 2's photos.

Today's outfit had a bit of a nautical theme - my favorite - as today is the 35th Anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Not only a catchy song, but a tragedy in Michigan history, as 29 lives were lost. According to 9&10 News,

It took less than ten seconds for the ship to sink more than 500 feet. It happened off Whitefish Point in the upper peninsula. A violent storm blew over the lake with waves reported as high as 30 feet. The ship's captain radioed in saying it was the worst he had ever seen.

To this day, no one has been able to figure out why the Fitzgerald sank, and we probably will never know...

To commemorate the anniversary, I decided to incorporate the bracelet I made this summer. It was quite the coincidence that upon waking up this morning, I awoke a thick blanket of fog that prevented me from seeing across Lafayette Park. It actually wasn' t until I was checking the weather online that I realized it was the anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. I just find it amazing that with advances in technology today, they are still unable to identify the cause! Memorial services are beign held at Whitefish Point Shipwreck Museum and also at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum on Belle Isle.

And on that eriee historical note, I am off to bed! I will post details on what exactly I wore tomorrow...and hopefully be able to check out and comment on my other Remixer's blogs!
