Heartbeats

So this weekend was the date. I actually ended up going on a spur-of-the-moment blind date on Friday as well, and it went alright. I had fun. However, I did not really feel any connection with the guy. So it was a good practice for the next date.

Sunday's date was a slightly completely different story. If you follow me on Twitter, you probably saw that the guy ended up being great on the outside but was actually a total creep who could not keep his hands to himself. Ew. No thanks, honey. I'm classy and such.

After feeling a full-on bottom grab, I ended up pretty much telling him how inappropriate he was and storming off. I kept thinking of that Monica song "I don't get down on the first niigghhttt..." ha :)

Here is the outfit I wore for Friday's date...I really loved it for a night of walking around a swanky outdoor mall and going out for a nice dinner.

Dress: Old Navy, $29.50 before coupon

Leggings: Old Navy, $6

Belt: Lane Bryant, $2oish I think....

Jacket: Avenue, $35 after coupon

Boots: Target, $29.99

I love this purpley/gray cowl-neck dress from Old Navy. In the reviews on their site, quite a few people seemed to think it was too short, but for those of us who happen to be vertically challenged, it fits fabulously. Not to mention, the price point is fantastic. Old Navy has really been stepping up their game lately...anyone else notice this?

I apologize for this post's obvious lack of detail and effort. My sleepiness is completely to blame. I feel like I have needed to catch up on sleep for the past week and a half. I sort of wish I could sleep through a day.

I have other outfits from this past weekend that I want to show you, but since I'm feeling lazy, and have a feeling that other outfits this week will not be super fun, I will save them for another day this week.

I hope you are dragging less than I am! And I hope you're having better dates ;)

I'ma Get More Shine In A Little Bit

I can't help it. I LOVE the song "Whip Your Hair" by Willow Smith. She is just so stinkin' cute.

Here are photos of my outfit from yesterday. Sorry I look so pathetically sleepy. I was.

Dress: Kohl's, 3 or 4 years ago

Belt: NY&Co, $1.99

Leggings: F21, $5.80

Boots: Torrid, $48 before coupon

In other news, I've been talking to the "date" guy all week, and I can't really seem to get a clear signal from him. Sometimes he flat out annoys me and other times he's super sweet. We actually skyped the other night and it was a good time. We will see what this date on Sunday has in store.

PS- What should I wear on a DATE?????? In case you don't remember, this is all new to me! Eep! Any advice would be much appreciated.

All my ladies if you feel it, go on do it do it, whip your hair! ;)

Ahoy! Happy Halloween!

Typically, I don't really do much for Halloween- I've never really gotten into it. However, this year I am single so I wanted to dress in a cutesy costume and go out and be flirty! And let me tell you- it was a GREAT time! I had so much fun getting dressed up with my friends! It was a great excuse to put on insanely long eyelashes and glitter EVERYWHERE! We had a fabulous evening!

Sailor Costume: Torrid, $55 (I splurged...)

Knee-Highs: Torrid, $4 on sale

Shoes: Target, $24.99

oh, and PS- I have a date next weekend :)

I hope you all had a Happy Halloween with no tricks but lots of treats!

Coolest Dress I've Ever Seen

Upon many hours of perusing of the Internet, I have come upon SWAK Designs several times. Each time, I find myself drawn to hunting down a particular dress that I have seen several bloggers and models pictured in...The Anastasia Interchangeable Wrap Dress...and holy cow, this is the coolest dress I have ever seen in my life. If I had just stumbled upon this dress on the website, I may not have been too impressed. I mean, it sort of just looks like any other dress. However, I saw this video (and for the life of me I cannot remember who posted it on their blog...sorry!) and I could not believe that a dress like this existed! This dress is seriously SO versatile that you can literally make it into pretty much ANY dress (or top) style you can think of. It could be the ONLY dress you own and you could wear it a million different ways so that it never looked like a repeat! I am amazed. I would LOVE to try this dress sometime. Perhaps the next time I am shopping I will have to pick it up.

I mean...if this is not thee coolest thing what is?

Have you tried this dress? Have you tried SWAK Designs? I am dying to! Let me know what you think!

All Eyes On Me When I Walk In

Last week, in this post, I talked about my newfound love, my red cardigan. Last week I wore it with stripes. Today I decided to try it out with animal print.

I know the black leggings paired with the black skirt is kind of strange looking, but in order to get away with a skirt this length at work I have to pair it with leggings...and any other color just did not work. So alas, I decided to add my red peep-toes since the weather was semi-warm and I could tie them in with the red cardi.

Tank: Wal-Mart, $3

Cardigan: Target, $18

Skirt: Old Navy, $14.50 before coupon last spring

Leggings: Target, $6

Shoes: Target, $24.99

In light of specific recent events (cough*marieclaire*cough) I also have to share this song with you (took the title for this post from this one)...every time I hear it my self-confidence just goes through the roof. I love it- it makes me feel gorgeous. Definitely a girl-power song.

All my ladies- do the pretty girl rock. ;)

Down on The Farm

Today a group of friends & I (including S&S) went to a pumpkin farm! I wasn't sure what to wear but I figured there was most definitely no better time to break out my new plaid shirt and a pair of jeggings! I felt farmer-chic ;) I am so in love with the plaid trend. I'm glad it has been sticking around for awhile. This is actually my first plaid button-down and I can't even begin to describe how comfy I feel in it.

It was a very windy day, but we had a great time!

Shirt: Old Navy, $14.50 on sale

Jeggings: Old Navy, $24.50ish on sale

Boots: Avenue, last fall

Sunnies: Ray-Ban prescription

And just for fun...me jumping into a giant pile of straw!

Needless to say I had a lot of straw in my jeggings after this!

I totally wish I had a DSLR camera. I could have taken some really wonderful pictures today with one. Guess what I'm asking Mommy & Daddy for for Christmas? ;)

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Paris: You & Me.

Hello darlings. Today was a pretty relaxing Saturday for me. All I really did was get my eyebrows threaded (which if you don't do, you need to- it's the best way to keep brows tame in my opinion) and went to see Paranormal Activity 2, which was good for a few jumps.

Blazer: Old Navy, last fall $34.50 I believe

Top: ASOS, gifted (the only ASOS item I own!)

Skinny Cargos (which are totally rad, by the way): Old Navy, $19.80 on sale

Booties: Avenue, $8.50 on a super sale

Earrings: gifted from Vi

I love these pants. I just got them from Old Navy last week. I feel super trendy in them, they're super soft and comfy, and my hot neighbor even commented, telling me I looked great in my outfit today. Sweeeet.

Let's run away to Paris, lovies ;)
