1.01.2009 // happy new year!

Haha yes, it's the cliche HNY post. But I'm ok with that.
Let's see, yesterday I wore this to mass...

Skirt & top - old navy. Boots - DSW. Jacket - JCP.
And this to Michelle's party...

Top - old navy. scarf - orchid lane. Coat - target. Boots - payless. Clutch - old navy.

Yeah sorry for the crap pictures, I've been having trouble with that lately. But whatever.
I've been cleaning out my closet all day - I should've taken before/after pictures, it's quite dramatic. But now I can finally use the other half for clothes instead of junk! (Mostly. The bottom part is still dedicated to pillows & stuffed animals - I'm down to 2 bins now. Thank god. It would've been one but my mom came in a made me keep some "sentimental" ones.) Well I'm going to clean a bit more, shower, then go over to Megan's. Ciao!

Oh, check out the BWchic blog, there's a post on Essentials for 2009.

12.24 // christmas eve & blazer

I got this blazer at target the other day (I always end up shopping for myself while I'm christmas shopping!) for about $11. I've had a bit of difficulty getting together a good outfit for it, so i figured I'd just put it in with this just so I could post it.


jacket - target. scarf as skirt - orchid lane. shoes - ?? target?

The weather is *so* messed up. It's been about -12 degrees for the last two weeks, and suddenly - on christmas eve, no less - it's 35 and raining. Sleeting. Whatever.
It sort of sucks.
Our new cat should be home soon - will post some pictures, I promise. He's so cute, his name is Chess :)

Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah/Happy Holidays,
