This is my “I wanna look nice without dressing up” outfit.  I believe a scarf can a bit of oomph to an ensemble.  My mom got me this one from The Loft and I’m pretty sure it was on sale (yay!)  Everything else is from Old Navy and it was all cheap (double yay!)  I’ve had these boots for years and I wanna get those insulated inserts to put in them to keep my feetsies warm.  Maybe Santa will bring me some.  Please excuse my sloppiness, but it was a rainy nasty day.

By request, here is a list of things I would really like to see on Christmas morning:

• I’m still waiting on that emerald ring, or any ring for that matter.  There are some lovely ones here:

The Kenneth Jay Lane crystal twist ring, the Alex Monroe 22-karat gold-plated sterling silver ring, the Isharya filigree ring, the Marc by Marc Jacobs Hematite-plated embellished ring, or the Daisy Knights set of three sterling silver ring

• Daisy by Marc Jacobs perfume or Lola by Marc Jacobs perfume
• A nice purse, of course
• A shopping spree to Indy at H&M

And that’s all I got right now…

Can I just say I love my flares.  I will keep them forever sacred and inviolate.  On another note, I’m pretty sure everything I’m wearing is something I got on sale or was given to me…booya.  The jacket was on sale at The Loft last Christmas it’s a petite size, which I don’t see that often.  Those boots were given to me from a co-worker and they’re awesome.  They’re knee-highs!  So that means I will be getting a lot of use out of them this winter.  I just have to find some good insoles so I don’t walk like I have a stick up my butt.

Presentation day!  Oh how I hate giving presentations. Yes, I’m a total spaz.  Looking nice makes getting up in front of the class a little easier.  I feel confident when wearing dress up clothes.  I had to go for flats because heels make me so much more nervous when I’m already stressed.  I’m carrying a white purse after Labor Day?  Is that like a fashion sin?  Eh…oh well. 

Last day for flippy floppys….boo…but the up side is wearing boots…woo!  But bye-bye tan.  I love this jacket, but it’s not very insulated.  What happened to Fall anyways?  The weatherman said there was a chance for snow flurries.  Really?  C’mon…I like to get good use out of my in-between hot and cold weather.  I got this jacket and tank on sale…oh yes.  The tank has some embellishment with a little tough girl flair, although you can’t see it because the lighting’s bad ha.  Also, this bag is one of my favorites…classic and long straps make it easy to carry.
