Well if you couldn't tell by the expression on my face I was not exactly feeling these pictures. It had started to rain,I had to bribe SSBF with a frosty (yes from Wendy's) to even take the pictures,oh and it was Monday. However, I was determined to take them because I was wearing my new jeggings from Gap. Now to be honest I hate the word jeggings, but there is no other way to describe these things. They are like butta. I haven't loved a pair of jeans so much since my Juicy Couture ones I splurged on 4 years ago (which are now relegated to around the house use thanks to holes in the legs that are slowly and surely creeping northward.)

Random thought-You guys must get sick of seeing the top of my head. My extremely well-defined part can not be of much interest to anyone, unless they have a scalp fetish. No offense to anyone with a scalp fetish but, thats weird.

Oh, and I love the mini mid summer obsession thats happening with military inspired pieces. Apparantly  Grace from the Flip Side of Oz and Calivintage sported similair items this week. Actually my outfit was eerily close to Calivintage's. Ok it was basically the same. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw her blog after I had taken my pictures. I feel included now, like when everyone wears the same Jeffery Campbell shoes.

I hope you are all having a good week. I have to say all the nice comments I've received over the last couple days have been amazing. You guys are too awesome. Now if only that awesomeness equated to me passing my final that is tomorrow. :)

True Story

So that makes four... four outfit posts in a row that involved stripes. That has got to be some kind of record! I promise I wasn't even doing it on purpose, it just kind of happened.

A couple weeks ago my cube mate at work wore a great dress that reminded me of this bolero I have had in my closet for years. I think this is only the second time I've worn it since I moved to Maryland. Which is just crazy. My problem is I put too much thought into styling it which ultimately took the fun out of it. Today I threw caution to the wind and used it to dress up my cotton tee and cut off shorts. Speaking of my cotton tee I love this trapeze tank. I bought it from Martin & Osa at 50% off. Up until the minute I bought it I thought it was a red striped shirt and then I realized the color said orchid purple! Either way, this is the closest thing I have to red and probably one of my favorite articles of clothing right now.

Random true story: four years ago around this time is when SSBF and I started "seeing" each other. It sounds so silly. We were both so hesitant to put a label on anything we had it took us until August 22nd to become "official". I love him though, pardon the mush, but I've loved him since the moment I saw him.

What's on the agenda for you all this weekend? SSBF and I will most likely be laying low. He has a summer gig at charter school that starts on Tuesday so he has a lot of planning to do. I (unfortunately) will have some school stuff to finish also. Only two more weeks until its over... until September. Hooray!

Have a happy holiday weekend!
