Being sick is no fun

I'd rather go to Target and buy a dress for 17.99 and shoes for 19.99 :) I love sales.

Who am I kidding? I would probably just go to sleep... if I didn't have to work!

Cargos & Heels

Top: LOFT
Cargos: LOFT
Heels: Target
Sunglasses: Walmart
Necklace: Forever XXI

I've been having some comuter problems, it seems that an iBook G4 just can't last forever. I baught my laptop my freshman year in college and it was a pretty big deal at the time. I guess it was worth it if its now going on 7 years old. Now the question is, do I buy a camera and share the macbook with my husband? Or do I get a laptop and painstakingly edit my pictures with a nice new laptop? I should probably wait... but I want both. This is boring, I'd rather buy clothes.

Beading

 Top: Eddie Bauer
Skirt: Made by me
Shoes: Nine West
Earrings: Forever 21

Seriously, I have been finding the most awesome deals lately! Last weekend I went to the Limited and bought pants, a blazer and a top for $58! I had a 50% off coupon for the pants, the store was giving $100 off if you baught a suit and I had a coupon for a free shirt with the suit. Crazy. This top I'm wearing? I got it for $5, the shoes were $20 with free shipping and the skirt, well I made it with fabric I got in Korea... I think it was approx $8.

Oh, oh and these earrings:

They were $1.50 at Forever 21, and that's the regular price! They're pretty cute huh? And I got another good price when I went thrifting the other day... but I'll tell that story with pictures another day.

This weekend I'm going to (drum roll) try fake eyelashes for the first time! Such excitement and I haven't even told you about my fake tanning lotion adventure (honestly, I don't think you can tell) Speaking of my pictures... there is seriously something wrong with my camera, my pictures are all grainy and the color is no good.

Sweaterdress

Sweaterdress: Target
Necklace: PB&J Boutique (you can't see it, but I won it on blogfashion's blog!)
Tights: Street vendor in South Korea
Shoes: Nine West

Is sweaterdress one word? Hold on, let me go check with google...no, ok sweater dress. I keep wearing this dress thinking, "this will be the last cold day this year and I can't wear this without tights!" This is the third time I've worn it since the first time I had that thought. Whats up Texas? This time I decided to change it up and wear a belt, now that I see the pictures I'm not so sure I love the good look.

This is the balcony of our new apartment. The only time I spend out there is for pictures (and I've taken pictures twice now so looks like I'm on a role!).

Two Stores...nothing to buy

If you like, head over to A Ladies Guide to Thrifting in Big D and read my post on thrifting... and not finding anything. I visited Recovery Resale and B&B Resale, and while I didn't find anything, I am determined to keep trying even when some trips are unsuccessful.

 

And because I think pictureless posts are boring for everyone, here are a few Spring dresses I'm wishing for:

Scarves

Tank: New York & Co.

Sweater: Banana Republic

Jeans: White House Black Market

Shoes: Target

Scarf: Gap

Necklace: Eddie Bauer

A few years ago I bought a whole bunch of these skinny scarves at the Gap. I tried wearing them in my hair but they always slipped out. For some reason I kept them even though I tend to get rid of things prematurely and I think they look good worn as a belt. I love the way the wedges look, too. I got them for under $8 after Christmas. The funny thing is that I still see them at Target for regular price, which makes me think there must have been some lucky mix up. Lucky because they are terribly uncomfortable and not worth more then I paid. The jeans however, are my favorite in the whole world. They have 26% lycra and are wonderfully comfortable and slimming. 

Forgotten

Sweater: Martin + Osa
Pants: Kohls
Shoes: Nine West

Here's proof that I took a few pictures while I was on my break (can you take a break from sporadic blogging?). I got this sweater from the short-lived Martin + Osa. American Eagle's attempt at a "Banana Republic" type store. When they first opened they had free shipping and returns, which later changed. I guess it was a sign that they were dying. According to Wikipedia they closed with a loss of 44 million... now there's a useless fact. All I know is, when I was this thing it loses a ton of dye, so naturally I wash it as little as possible.
