cheaters never prosper (but they dress well)

Okay so I'm a cheater. BUT I am not a liar or a thief, so I've still got my self-esteem and a clean police record. My striped top underneath is actually a bandeau/bra top so really if you count it as my underwear, I didn't cheat at all. Whew, now I feel better.
Only 2 more outfits!! I'm jumping for joy right now. (Seriously, I'm on a trampoline.) Not that I haven't enjoyed this challenge -- I have. But boy have I got some outfits planned. I mean don't get your hopes up or anything. In fact aim low with your expectations. The lower you aim, the better I'll impress you. (That's always been my motto.)

let the sun shine...

High waisted jeans, a floral crop-top, and a romantic ruffly vest have all the makings for a fashion feat of hippie proportions... one love.

big and tall

I think that I'm getting bigger. Not fatter (well maybe a little) just bigger in general. My desk at work feels like it's getting smaller and smaller. My legs keep falling asleep because I have to fold them up to fit underneath. I kept hitting my head while getting in and out of my car. I heard a young child whisper "Sasquatch" to her mother and then started to cry. 
And then today in the mail I got a postcard notifying me that a local retailer in my area will be carrying larger shoe sizes for women. It's official -- I'm a giant. And apparently everyone knows it and I'm just now figuring it out. It's just like that movie The Truman Show, except I'm not Jim Carey and there aren't camera's following me. Or are there...
Paranoia aside, can we officially start a count down now? 3 more outfits and 1 more day until my shopping ban is lifted. I'm already fake shopping online. I've got shopping carts full all over the internet. Truth is, I never stopped. (except for at work, because that's wrong, right...?)

look of the day...

Street-chic at it's finest...

In love with clogs

Ich habe jetzt schon auf so vielen Catwalks oder Street Style-Bildern Clogs gesehen und wurde nun auch von dem Clog Hype angesteckt. Wenn ich nächste Woche wieder shoppen gehen werde ich mich auf jeden Fall auf die Suche nach coolen Clogs machen. Hoffentlcih finde ich welche, denn die meisten Sachen, die mir gefallen, liegen fast nie in meinem Budget.Hier sind mal ein paar Bilder von Clogs und wie man sie cool kombinieren kann. Würdet ihr euch welche kaufen?

desperate housewife

I talked to my mom today. She said that she almost named me "Weekendi". See? Things could have been much worse. She also told me I was born with an extra thumb. But I couldn't find any scars so I think she just threw that in for good measure.

So I tricked you guys. You thought that my black pants were jeans the last time I wore them, but they aren't. They are basically really thick tights that are sturdy enough to wear as pants but too expensive to sleep in. (Did I just use the word sturdy to describe something in my wardrobe?) Anyways, I was channeling a little bit of 50s housewife for this look. Slutty 50s housewife -- did you see that tummy peeking out? Scandalous.

In other news, we leave for Seattle in 1 week. Thank you all for the wonderful tips!! I don't know if we saved up enough money for all of the restaurants you listed, but I've got an empty credit card and some elastic waist pants that I'll be wearing for the duration of the trip. You know what they say...when in Rome (or Seattle) wear loose pants. That way you can eat more.

that makes scents!

As a longtime lover of nail polish, I'm super stoked about Revlon's Fruitful Temptations, a limited-edition collection of** OMG** scented nail polishes! That's right my friends, get ready to kick it old school with an array of 8 shades that smell deliciously like tropical fruit when dry! I myself am super stoked to experience lightly perfumed digits and the sense of nostalgia that they evoke... Back in the 8th grade I bought a vanilla scented top coat from Claire's that I applied religiously until my little flower-adorned bottle ran dry... I remember being heartbroken to discover that my beloved enamel had been discontinued, and cursed my wretched fate when I couldn't find a suitable substitute. A good decade or so later, and my prayers have finally been answered! In such tantalizing shades as Coconut Crush, Mad About Mango, Pretty In Papaya, Sublime Strawberry, Raspberry Rapture, Mon Cherry, Passionate Fruit, and Not So Blue-Berry, the 13 year old girl inside can finally have her scented nail polish and wear it too...
