This Week in Fashion

What is up with this week? Not to brag but I think I look extra good...and the funny thing is I did nothing different this week. Oh well, I won't question it, I just hope it continues. Besides my hair and makeup cooperating, this was a pretty standard week: work, blogging, posting Potter news and watching tons of TV (Sailor Moon, Gilmore Girls, Sex & the City, The Big Bang Theory etc.). As you can see I live a VERY exciting life...not!

Funny story about my Jason Wu dress from Monday: I was returning it along with the kitty tee and pink striped dress (because I've spent too much money lately) and i had noticed previously that they charged me twice for the tee so I was going to mention that, but then something awesome happened. The woman told me  the dress wasn't on my receipt...meaning they accidentally charged me the tee price ($19.95) for it, so I decided to keep it...SCORE!

This weekend is a 3 day weekend, YAY! I have no plans for Monday, but I don't mind. I like lazy days, they are rather enjoyable.  Sunday I'll probably go to my grandma's and Saturday I am going to make these biscuits (based on Ruby Tuesday's biscuits), but without the cheese because cheese is gross. Do you have Monday off?

Monday: Dress: Jason Wu for Target $20, Sweater: DKNY Cozy (TJ Maxx) $20, Heels: Forever 21 $25, Watch: Michael Kors, Purse: Mulberry won from The Flower Girl

Wednesday: Top: Express $35, Sweater: Kohls' gift, Jeans: Free People (Gilt Groupe) gift card, Booties: Alexander Wang (The Outnet) gift, Necklace: Kara Ross ring giveaway win, Watch: Michael Kors, Purse: Mulberry won from The Flower Girl
Thursday: Sweater: American Eagle, Skirt: Ruche gift card, Heels: Target $20, Scarf c/o Fashion Flirts, Watch: Michael Kors, Purse: Mulberry won from The Flower Girl

  4. I agree - you looked pretty good this week - but then again, I think you always do a great job and your hair is just super awesome - still a little sad that you cut it, but i know it will grow back...lol

  5. Cheese is gross? No way gurl! Let me know how the HelloCotton thing goes...I've been seeing it pop up lately, but I hate to get used to another new thing if it's no good.

    You do look good this week! I'm extra intrigued by Thursday's outfit because it's more of a springtime outfit, only with black tights. I would have been apprehensive to have worn those, but I'm glad you did, because they look fine together. Inspiring!

  26. Ahh I'm so jealous of that Jason Wu dress! I tried to get it, but it's too small in the chest on me, and the next size up was comically large. Sigh.
