TGIF! Even If It Feels Like Wednesday...

My whole week has been messed up due to the snow day the kids had on Wednesday. I'm in disbelief that tomorrow is Saturday, but the weekend is welcome nonetheless. I currently have a massive migraine and am looking forward to sleeping in as long as possible tomorrow morning.

I was laughing in most of the pictures I took tonight because my daughter told me that my eyes were closed in all of them. I'm very naive, so I believed the little prankster! Laughing with her reset my mood (which wasn't great, due to the migraine) and relieved some of the stress I've been feeling recently. My kids all have great senses of humor and time and again they save me from taking life too seriously. :)


Cardigan: Anthropologie Dwarf Quince Cardigan - $31.00
Dress: Anthropologie Vappu Dress - $50.00
Belt: Anthropologie Buckled Cummerbund Belt - $20.00
Tights: George brand from Walmart - $5.00
Boots: Vince Camuto Fivvy Boots - $126.00

Please forgive my wrinkly dress. I have a terrible, terrible habit of taking midday naps with the husband and wrinkling my pretty clothes. With the migraine today, I was completely couch bound until my Advil kicked in a minute ago, thus adding to my wrinkleage.

Bonus picture!


Me petting a cat with LASER EYES! I wish I'd lint rolled that thread off my booty, but oh well...

Acting Workshop OOTD

Today was a pretty mellow day filled with the much of the usual. I did go to Walmart, which I've decided is more enjoyable than I was previously willing to admit because no one cares what kind of language you use there! Walmart is were I go to vent, use expletives, and buy laundry detergent (and tights apparently). On this day, I was shopping for my oldest son's birthday and much of my week will entail cleaning up for his Sunday birthday party.

About a month or so ago, I thought I would try acting. Tonight was the second night of a four part acting workshop I'm attending. FYI: I'm not a very serious person. I don't think I could ever call myself an actress. I'm just a normal person who is trying to act basically.  :)

This is what I wore:




Dress: Anthropologie Vappu Dress - $59.95
Shirt: American Eagle (circa 2006) - $17.00
Sash: J. Crew (circa 2008) - $10.00
Tights: Unknown brand, purchased from Walmart in a two-pack - $3.50
Shoes: Charlotte Russe - $10.00


I got a request from a reader for me to list prices of the things I wear. I didn't realize until I started this blog that I am a rather thrifty shopper. I've gotten a lot of encouraging feedback about my "personal style" (again, I am too silly to view myself as a "fashionista" of sorts, much like I'll never call myself an "actress") and the blog in general. I thank every one of you from the bottom of my heart!
