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?

This week started off nice and easy but yesterday some garbage happened at work and I had to stay late...so annoying! Oh wells...that's what happens in the real world. I wore a lot of red this week, so funny how that happens, do you ever end up wearing the same color scheme for a few days. So far I have no plans for the weekend apart from going to my Grandma's on Sunday for our weekly lazy day. I might go see Beauty and the Beast in 3D with my mom and sister but we haven't decided yet.
And my roommate has people coming over tomorrow (including my other best friend) so that should be interesting...something crazy always happens when she goes out. I've been woken up at 2am plenty of times to her jumping on me saying she loves me, ha ha...gotta love drunk people. I personally don't drink, but that's mostly because I hate the feeling of alcohol...it burns, ha ha.

Why do I always seem to pick the days where it is FREEZING cold outside. I'm not totally in love with this outfit, it didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it, but I decided to post them anyway so me freezing my butt off wasn't wasted.
The shoes I wore were a little tall for these pants since I've grown quite a bit since I first bought them so that bugs me a bit...but I enjoy the general look I was going for. I also decided to accessorize a lot more than usual with a snake necklace, turtle ring and some smaller rings I inherited from my mother/grandmother (I can't remember whose they were now...) One is a spoon ring, does anyone else have one of these babies? I LOVE them, they're made from old spoons and you can resize them easily. Its cool to think that my ring could potentially be from the early 1900s, sadly I don't know exactly what year it's from.
Sweater: Madewell via ShopBop gift card, Jeans: Mudd (circa ~2001), Coat: DKNY $75, Watch: Michael Kors, Purse: Mulberry won from The Flower Girl, Clog Sandals: Target $12, Cobra Necklace: Vanessa Mooney won from Sterling Style, Turtle Ring: Forever 21 $5, Other Rings: used to be mom's/grandma's
And here is a blooper shot from when I was trying to get a shot of my rings, but I like it anyway.
Aaaand here is where I sit every morning before work. I get up at 7am and comment on blogs until I'm ready to get dressed or take outfit pictures. Then I leave for work at 8:20, so I pretty much spend an hour doing blogging stuff instead of sleeping in. See what I do for you guys? :p

This week was going pretty well until yesterday [minus the rain]. Let's just say that it was the worst work day...ever. First of all, my boss was out because his kids were sick, so that meant I was in charge. Then all hell broke loose. I had a ton of work to begin with but then, two of the movie theatre sites we manage decided to have issues with ticket purchases for the Twilight midnight shows. That just makes me hate Twilight even more than I already do (which is a LOT). So that meant I had to stop doing all the stuff I was originally supposed to do to try and fix that. So today is going to be a rush to finish what I should have done yesterday...oh the joys of being a web programmer :p
Anyway, enough about that unpleasantness...here are my outfits for the week! I didn't take today's outfit because I usually do those on Thursday night and I was dead after not getting home until 7...I quite enjoy all of these! And look, I went 2 days without wearing purple (not counting my purse...haha...) This weekend I plan on relaxing and watching movies. I also need to clean up the leaves in our yard and my roommate and I are hopefully going to Target tomorrow to get a fake Christmas tree for our house [one is on sale for $50, hopefully there are some left]!
P.S. My lovely blogging friend Nora attended a Harry Potter event in Sydney, Australia on behalf of my site Magical-Menagerie, check out her report here, more photos are coming! (she will probably do a blog post on it soon, too!)

Here is what I wore yesterday, it was a rainy, dark, nasty day so I decided to wear something really bright and happy! I threw on my bright red Madewell sweater over my purple Marc by Marc Jacobs dress and finished it off with brown boots and a leopard scarf! For some reason the color of this sweater never photographs properly, it is really red, not orange. I took photos of my Monday and Tuesday outfits too, but I'll save those for a, if you'll pardon the pun, rainy day [aka when I'm too lazy to shoot another outfit ;) ]. I'm getting sick of all the rain this week, quite annoying! On the plus side...one week until Thanksgiving!! WEEE!

I mentioned on Friday that this week I was going to try to recreate a different bloggers outfit every day of the week! I started off yesterday with an outfit inspired by Jen of her waise choice! I had actually been meaning to wear this sweater with this skirt for a while anyway so it worked out great! I probably won't do dedicated outfit posts for each outfit but as usual I will post them on Friday (next to the outfit I recreated!) Not all of them will be this dead on sadly, ha ha. Click all the photos to enlarge (as usual)

A couple weeks ago I was contacted by Woolmark to ask if I would like to participate in their Fashion by Feelings campaign! Of course I said yes, and this past week I was finally able to take some photos for it. The campaign was started to educate people about wool as a natural and renewable fiber. Participants are asked to upload a look to the Fashion by Feelings website and choose what "feeling" their look has. I chose my new Madewell sweater which is 100% Merino wool and "happy" as my feeling since my sweater is so bright and cheery!
Also, if you guys could, could you "love" my look so I can have a chance at the grand prize?! You don't have to but I would really appreciate it, click here to like it!
Now be prepared to see a ton of photos because I couldn't decide which to post.

Since I got my new Madewell sweater [free because I won a gift card] I decided to come up with a fun outfit for it! Obviously I can't afford these pieces but this is an ideal way I would wear this sweater come Fall. It can also be worn very simply with just jeans so be prepared to see that a lot over the coming weeks.
