Lunch break...

I blink. Once. Twice. I stare at the empty soup cup in front of me. I turn and note, with a shock, the time. One hour has passed. How has a whole hour passed? I was just sitting here... and...

I'm so tired. I haven't been sleeping well. I haven't had time to go to KSW. Thesis is stressing me out because I'm finding it extremely challenging to get data from my target group and also to find applicable information. It's so hard to work once I get home because I'm so tired. I've completely stopped cooking. I bring something to microwave for lunch -- today was Campbell's Select Harvest New England Clam Chowder. Delicious. I eat whatever Kevin makes, or I eat bread, cheddar cheese and pepperoni (I am actually quite fond of this).

I unwind by reading or blogging. And, then, it's time for bed. What? How did that happen? I get lost in time and have to go to sleep. And I'm still stressed out.

Start of the drive! It's about 5am.

I love this building. I don't know what it is, but I love it.

A tunnel in VA or MD. Somewhere.

I need a travel kitty.... Someone buy me one for x-mas

How much sleep?

Shit. I'm going to sleep from midnight to six thirty from now on. That's an extra 1.5 hours in my day!

Next to the Value Village on Independance, there is a Goodwill that sells by the pound. $1.39/lb, I think. You can get a pound of clothing for the price of a drip coffee.

Last time I was there, I picked up a long pink and cream Victoria's Secrets robe. It's a large, so it's pretty big on me. And it didn't have a sash. That's what Boyfriend's tie is for! I absolutely love this robe. It's huge and silky and wonderful.

At Just Cuts, next to Bi-Lo, BAC students can get their hair cut for $9.00. My hair is straight across and I'm getting tired of it. So, I'm going in. Wish me luck.

Ex-heifer

I was driving home, wearing my cream and black dress and printed black tight. Dresses have a tendency to ride up quite high while I'm in the car. It can be embarrassing when getting out if you're not away.

I looked down while at a stop light and realized that I didn't have heifer legs anymore.

I looked down and thought: "Damn, my legs are hawt."



You know you think so, too!

Thank you, Oprah!

Would you like to know why blogs are so awesome? Yes. Yes, you would. Blogs are awesome because they let us know about freaking sweet deals. Such as getting 50% off your entire purchase at Payless. Or Free Beauty Rush Lip gloss. Yes. Blogs are awesome.

So, Oprah put out a coupon for everyone to get 50% off of EVERYTHING at Payless. I should've taken better advantage, and dude! I totally wanted to! But they were sold out of slouchy boots by the time I got there. So, I just picked up a pair of black knit legwarmers.


OMG so cute.
Me: "What do you think?"
Boyfriend: "Cool."
Me: "They're cute, huh?"
Boyfriend: "You look kind of like a goat."
Me: *stamp my feet*
Boyfriend: *uproarious laughter*

No, but he was teasing. I can see the goat bit. But, they're so very cute. You can also throw them over ankle boots. Or in ankle boots to look like knee high socks. Or you know, leg warmers inside boots. You can toss them in tall boots.

I just tried this. Just now. I'm wearing it. And, it looks pretty cool. wait.... Okay, I put on a white knit mini dress think. Okay. Yeah, this is hot. I'll take photos of this. I think I'll do a post of pix of different ways to wear leggings and boots. Well, you know, I'll mean to, but I'll probably never get around to it.

Anyway, today's outfit:
The first picture shows you why I have to put my hands on my hips. Otherwise: no waist! I look like a fatty again.

Legwarmers from Payless

Aqua. Aqua aqua aqua. Funny word.

I cannot express to you how well my outfit came together on Wednesday. The aqua of the tank was an amazing exact match to the aqua in the print on the top! It's such a great fit, because there is very little aqua in the top and the tank accent pulled it out nicely. The greens and browns in the top coordinated with my shoes and my pants. All in all, a very nice outfit. I'm fond of it.

Also, my Walmart has some George and NOBO tights on clearance! Check it out!
The first photo is of George trouser socks (but I have them pulled all the way up (knee high), and cropped the photo so it looks like hose! I'll just wear them with pants though.)
The second and third photos feature polka dot tights by NOBO. The color is "Mercury." Super cool. I lurve these tights.
Cost? The trou socks were $1, the tights were $2.50. I also got some black printed tights, will show you in a later post.


Hope you like! Ta

Black, black, and more black.

Sometimes I feel like I wear too much black, but I'm a big fan of this outfit. It could've been improved with one of those wide stretchy belts, but I don't own one. I'd like one in red, to go with this, though. But black would go with so much more.

I think this dress is super ridiculous hotness. (Boyfriend thinks so, too).

Obligatory AM bathroom shot


Took a few pix during my lunch break. Same sweater from yesterday. I really mostly wore the sweater all day. My desk is right next to a window and it's chilly. Also, the middle pic is me not realizing that my camera was taking two shots.

Not sure why I thought this pose was a good idea. I'll keep my hands down from now on. Although, with the sweater, that would make my waist invisible....


Purse was lent/given to me by Mama. I don't know if she'll want it back at some point. SEXY BOOTS. Actually, the look a little funny in this pic. But trust me, they're sexy.

Sweater Dress, Target, $14.00
Black Leggings, Forever 21, $2.99 (seriously. On clearance)
Black Tall Boots, Off Broadway, $40.00

Saturday, what a day....

Saturday, I did a test run in my skinny jeans.

This is me, sassin' the boys, as I am wont to do (click for larger image)

(these aren't posed, I actually was sassin')

Obligatory bathroom photos, which I fail at. (come on, how hard can it be?)


A couple close ups

CAN I DO THIS? Can you wear skinny jeans with ankle boots??? Well, I did it. There it is.

BTW (bee-tee-dubs, there's another one for you, Tiffasaurus), my socks matched my tank, though the former is completely hidden and the latter is partially concealed. I did that on purpose.

Indigo Super Skinny Jeans, Forever 21, $9.50
Basic Black Scoopneck Tee, Forever 21, $3.99 (clearance)
Basic Blue Spaghetti Tank, Forever 21, $2.50
Black Leather Ankle Boots, St. John's Bay, $20? It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure I got them on serious sale.
Pink and Black Scarf, Mama, FREE

Earlier that day, I was sporting this:

That second photo is totally in honor of Tiffasaurus. I think there is a nigh identical pic of her somewhere.

Heather Cardigan, Forever 21, $6 or $7 on clearance
Black Fans Trendy Tee, Steve & Barry's, $3 on closeout sale (damn, I wish that store was still open)
Blue and Purple Braided Scarf, Mama, Free!
Jackie O Sunglasses, Walmart, $5?

Daddy said I looked "stylish." Keeping in mind, my dad isn't real into fashion, but, you know, I felt pretty trendy.
