Little Teacup

 I'm pouring my apologies out. 

Skirt: Target, Tank & Sweater: Express

Accouterments unknown

I'm back! I'm sorry for the extended blogger absence. Truth be told? I haven't been dressing very nicely in the past few weeks. A regular outfit of mine has consisted of jeans, a sweatshirt and tennies. See the thing is, I can't really dress nicely at my job for several reasons. I clean on the job, play tag on the job, and really have to desexualize myself on the job. It's put a damper on my skirt and dress ways. I've been attempting to adjust my style, which may or may not be working. The outfit above is one that I wore to the interview for said job. 

In an unrelated and completely distracted note, I currently have water in my ear. It's been there since yesterday and I must say I'm getting tired of looking at the world at an angle.

Sunshine, Sunshine

"Sunshine, sunshine is fine I feel it in my skin, warming up my mind." -Atmosphere

I think that pretty much sums up how I feel about the day. 

I soaked up the suns deliciously warm rays while walking along one of the local rivers. 

 

In celebration of the beautiful day I wore the loudest and perhaps most questionable down coat in my collection.

 

Dress: Anthropologie Hello, Good day dress

Just for you, my dear readers, I braved the cold. 

The sun may have been shining but the temperature was still quite cold.

 

 Top: Target 

Belt: JcPenney

As you can see I'm stronger than any silly wind or below freezing temps.

 I'm a regular Minnesota Hulk.

I mean, if I were green, angry, and made by a gamma blast we could be related. 

(I feel like hulk needs a little love today, I mean he does represent for St. Patties day!)

I borrowed this necklace from my mother, she has the best accessories.

 

These shoes were absolutely not weather appropriate, but were absolutely needed for a pop of color to my outfit (available at Target)

Ivory bangle: World Market

 Gold: Marketplace in Greece

You can see the gooseflesh popping out of my arm along with two of my favorite bracelets.

True confession on the dress. This was the first time I wore it. I'm just not in love with it. I purchased it online last year and really disliked it on. I lost 20lbs and like it a little more, but now there are some fit issues up top. I not sure I know exactly how to style it either. I like the mustard yellow color with it, but don't own anything but the jacket in that color.

So I ask you, if this was your dress what would you do?

Procrastination Nation

Today I procrastinated in the getting dressed arena. Due to this, my outfit is a little crazy. 

I'm a fantastic procrastinator. If you could get a job as a procrastinator I would be hired in an instant, promoted to head procrastinator. I had a meeting at 11, and started getting dressed at 10:55. I live incredibly close to campus so I wasn't worried about getting there on time (also my group members are often late as well). I postpone things all the time. In fact I currently should be getting ready for a Minnesota Wild game. Am I? No. I'm writing a post instead. I have priorities, you know? 

I was about to fall off that slippery little bench, it can be treacherous when you lack athletic grace.

Sweater: New York and Co

Dress: Target (ok it's my nightgown)

Pants: Anthropologie Cadre Noir Leggings

Shoes: a.n.a.

Coat: Collection by Gallery

Scarf: Anthropologie Floral Jumble Scarf

 

Green, Tan, and Red all over

Hallelujah! Finally we got a dishwasher. Prior to this the only dishwasher we had was me. To mark this auspicious occasion I busted out two never worn dresses. I wore them together due to their lightweight nature. I also wore a scarf that I had almost forgot about until I saw Sarah over at That Damn Green Dress in this amazing dress.

I also attended a class put on by our local chapter of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness). It was a first person account of one family's experience with mental illness. It was such a heart wrenching story. As difficult as it can be to deal with individuals who have mental illness, it is 10 times more difficult to be experiencing mental illness, sometimes I forget that. 

On an unrelated note. I have a special place in my heart for jersey shore. I happened across a re-run and rekindled my love affair with the show. How can you not appreciate the fist-pumping, GTL, insanely gelled hair that is the jersey shore?
