This Week in Fashion

Goodbye insane week number 2, this week wasn't as bad work-wise but health-wise it was worse! I had to stay home on Tuesday because I wasn't feeling well and then on Thursday I was sent home early because my back was DEAD...it hurt so bad (probably from all my work stress). And it is still hurting so I am off to my Aunt's house tonight for a massage. Thank goodness I'm related to a massage therapist! After my massage we're going to have dinner and then I'm spending the night.  Enough complaining though, I hate that all I've been doing lately is ranting on about annoying things, so on to happier thoughts:

This week the weather was BEAUTIFUL! We had temperatures in the 50s and low 60s...that is amazing for this time of year! We've barely had a Winter, it's so weird. I could have used a nice big snowstorm but a few little ones will suffice.  I also wore my hair straight for the first time in a while this week (unless you count the blogger meetup). My hair is naturally straight but I'm lazy so I usually put it in a bun right after I shower and sleep with it that way so its wavy in the morning.

And yes, I wore the same pants on Friday as on Thursday, and I'll wear them again tomorrow too...stress is killing me so I'm resorting to comfortable favorites.  Nothing I was picking out was good so I gave up.  Does that ever happen to you?

  1. I hope you're feeling better soon!

    We haven't had much of a winter either - it's now in the 50s and 60s ... in Wisconsin! It's bizarre, but I'm not complaining. I'm not a fan of winter after Christmas.

    I love the color of your Thursday sweater with the purple bag. Pretty!

  2. Great looks this week! I like how successfully you layered colours in the same mauve tone. For Wednesday's look, your maroon tights do a great job at showing off your animal-print shoes, but without looking overwhelming.

  3. Aw, that's terrible about your back. Definitely let fashion take a back seat (no pun intended) as you get better. And give those mega-heels a rest!xx

  4. Sorry about your back and all the stress - that really sucks. At least you had another fashionable week and nice weather though.

  5. Ugh, sorry to hear about your back and all your stress at work. It is no fun to have to work through the day when you are in such pain.
    Hope your massage helps and you have a restful weekend.

    Love the wednesday look -- I'd probably love anything with those heels!

  12. back problems are the worst. I wish I was related to a massage therapist. I swear my back is always giving me problems. Sometimes I just lay on the floor for awhile and that kinda helps but a massage would be so much better. I suppose I could make my husband do it but then he would ask me to massage his back and I dont want to.

  19. Lucky you having a family member that is a massage therapist...my back is so bad right now the knots are giving me headaches! I love the combo of the purple dress with the blue tights!

  20. Sorry about your back pain. I get a massage once a week or every other week. It keeps my body healthy to do all the crazy acrobatic stuff I do. I highly recommend.

    I look forward to Fridays to see your week in fashion recap. That red top with the gray scarf is my faves. They are all great, though.

    xo,

  22. I was wondering how your week was going...not so good eh? Thank goodness it's the weekend. I feel ya about stress - but once it starts affecting your physical health...that's no good!!! Hope you get to do some relaxing this weekend. By the way - the leopard print sandals are killer - but how the heck do you walk in them? The boots!! are gorgeous! I might have to take some ebay pointer tips from you, girl! Have a wonderful and stress free weekend!

  29. definitely don't feel bad about wearing pants more than once or twice or even more than that! I've been known to wear the same pants for like a week straight. Am I gross? I might be. But we can justify eachother!
