Swapped, Part One

worn on April 30th, 2011

This week I will be swapping a few items with Kathryn of Kitsune-kun. First up - this adorable yellow dress! I could not wait to get my hands on this thing. When I first saw Kathryn wear it, I absolutely fell in love. Sunshine yellow! Tie dye! bows! Seriously, where can I get one of these babies?

Its a bit wrinkly. But after a horrible, horrible incident with one of the other swapped dresses ( and my worst nightmare), I didn’t dare try to iron it. Note to self: don’t ever, ever attempt to iron another persons clothing while in your possession again. It will end in disaster. ( Soooooo sorry again Kathryn :( ). 

So, yeah. After my meltdown, this outfit was actually worn for mine and Boo’s 6 year anniversary on saturday. It involved a picnic lunch, seeing Water For Elephants (which I enjoyed), and a yummy steak dinner at The Palm. Mmm Mmm Mmmmmm.

Theres Zebras On My Skirt

Worn on April 21st, 2011

My posts are all sorts of crazy out of order. This is actually what I wore Thursday when we drove home. I was originally going to try and save this post (I have something pretty cool lined up soon), but I couldn’t help it.

When I spotted this skirt at Goodwill, I literally squealed. BEST.FIND.EVER. It may be hard to tell, but those are little zebras all over it. I’m a sucker for anything with safari animals on it.

skirt: thrifted

A Simple Pairing

worn on April 23rd, 2011

These shoes may not be the best paring for this dress. But I was in desperate need for some comfort. We had our engagement party earlier this day, and I wore my polka dot tights and Chanel flats with this dress. But when we got done, it was so warm out, and my feet were killing me from a very bust past few days. So I figured it would be a good time to debut my new Toms. Everyone was right - they are soooooo comfy! Exactly what my feet needed :)

Its my b-earth-day

worn on April 22nd, 2011

Hey- Its my birthday! Woot Woot! I accept gifts in the form of shoes and money :)

Anywho, it was a pretty laid back birthday. We did view our first venue for the wedding (and booked it!!!!! yay!). Next on the list was lunch with my momma and Boo, visiting some family, and then my momma made me the dinner of my choice - tacos. Of course. I love tacos. Now… just relaxing and watching the Sabres game (duh). Simple, but I like it. 

Oh, and happy Earth day!

P.S - it was sooooo cold when we took these pictures. Can you tell?:

Another Day

Sorry folks, not much to say today. Monday was a another easy, simple day. 

And how many times can I feature this bag in outfit posts? I should start keeping count. Or maybe I should do a ‘whats in my bag’ post. Hmmmmm.

Dressed Up Sunday

worn on April 16th, 2011

Ok, not really dressed up, but considering I believe sundays are for sweatpants or jeans and tee shirts, this was an accomplishment for me. The reason - we went into Boston in the morning to meet my BFF and her boy for a little brunch. It was fantastic to see her, and my breakfast was delicious!

And I can finally cross a jean jacket off my wish list! Boo thinks its funny. He says it looks pretty 90’s-ish. I say…. cool. I do think I might take it in on the sides a bit. It might be a little too boxy for me. But I’m happy I finally got one! Good ol’ Goodwill :)

Project ReStyle #2

worn on April 15th, 2011

You may not be able to tell from the before picture ( I really should’ve photographed it on me), but this dress was actually floor length and you could’ve fit 3 of me in it. It was huuuuge. So not only did I rework the shape and length, I also turned it all around so the little cheetahs were right side up. And cut out the orange leaf-y stripes. I didn’t like them. Overall, I like what it is now. It ended up being shorter than I originally planned, but thats what I get for cutting without measuring. And I guess thats what little lacey slips are for :)

I wore it for our friday date night. We went to the new Max Brenners on Boylston and got our butts kicked by all the yummy chocolate-ness. Soooo yummy.

Anthropologie and Hockey

worn on April 14th, 2011

I recently received a 15% card in the mail from Anthropologie for my birthday, and you know I wasn’t going to wait long to use it. I ended up getting this sweater and skirt full price, and two more items on sale - but we’ll get to them later. Before now, my last few trips there have been…. eh. But I had handfuls of so many pretty things this time around! It was hard to narrow it down, But I’m pretty ecstatic with what I ended up getting. Happy (early, again) birthday to me!!

P.S - don’t forget to enter the giveaway over at The Daily Fashionista to win one of my bow tie necklaces!

Of course, I had to show some Sabres love. I actually show a lot more Sabres love on a daily basis than I show on here. But today is special. Its game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quaterfinals. Its playoff time baby!!! This is my playoff dance:
