you sly thing you

dress: Target clearance
cardigan: GAP gift
wedges: Target sale
necklace: Unpossible Cuts
lips: Bare Minerals Pretty Amazing in Strength

This dress is an example of the sly, devious nature of Target. I go, with a mission. One thing to buy. This is rare for me as I usually go into Target with every intention of going buck wild. So, for once I am on a mission, buy work shoes. Plain, black, sensible, work shoes. Somewhere between not buying work shoes and the checkout I end up in the clothes section, try this on, and decide it must be mine. (sigh) I have no self control.

At least it was on clearance for $10.

tired but fancy

Tired doesn't even begin to cover it. I wanted to get this up though. This is my "I'm going to the city to get my hair cut" outfit. I felt fancy :) Also, a few different bloggers like Kendi of Kendi Everyday and Katy of Kansas Couture have done this orange, pink, red look. I've been wanting to give it a try.

Tada!

I hate seagulls

Saturday my little sister arrived from Texas to visit. We had a fun filled day in the city. her main thing was going to Fisherman's Wharf for chowder in a bread bowl b/c when she came last time we didn't get to do that. Not only did she get her bread bowl but she got something even better! A seagull straight up flew into my head! It didn't just buzz me. This insane seagull flew into my head. i think it's plan was to knock me to the ground and get my calamari. Had I been a small child it no doubt would have succeeded. As it was, we took cover with our food and had a story to tell over and over all day.

I was aiming for comfort and warmth with this outfit. I am not much of a hat person but they really do keep you warm. That combined with the 3 shirts, 2 skirts and tights helped me not freeze too much in the city. Such a great day!
