purple for tolerance

Just a quick post! I'm so tired! Tomorrow I should be able to update from my bed (and be lazy) because my macbook is scheduled to come in the mail! Yay! No more crappy 10lb PC laptop! Anyway, today I wore my purple for tolerance for spirit day. And so here goes:

(sorry I keep wearing my booties! I'm just hooked on them right now since it's not cold enough yet to wear full-on boots and I'm tired of wearing flats. I have more shoes! TRUST.)

Tomorrow, I should also get my ModCloth grab bag in the mail! Yea! This Thursday is already shaping up to be a good one! Although, it's going to be hard to get home from work with my new stuff and not play with it, and instead, go the gym first. Discipline!

And that's that! ♥

train tracks

I lied. I said I would update with pictures of this weekend yesterday, but I didn't. Forgive me!!! But I am updating today with an outfit! Chris and I rode our bikes to the train tracks in the neighborhood across the street from where I live. It was a nice, leisurely 2.4 mile bike ride. And the weather is perfect for it. Could be a little cooler, but as long as the humidity is low, I'm a happy camper :)

Tomorrow: workout Wednesday + Moe's! I've been slacking off a bit on the diet. BAD! But at least I've kept up on my workouts. I will be better for the rest of the week! (except for date night, which is Friday, celebrating 5 months together with Chris <3) I think I'll update tomorrow!

modcloth grab bag

So, just a quick post because I'm bored @ work. I'm so excited because I just ordered this Purple for a Purpose grab bag from ModCloth.com!!! $30 for $90 worth of accessories!!! I got an email about it around 2, ordered it (after PayPal was being a butt) about 3:15, and before I even blogged this, it's already sold out.



Things go so fast on that site! I still have yet to order anything from there that wasn't an accessory, but money was the main reason why (I have a giant wishlist... *ahem, Christmas is only a few weeks away! Just sayin' ...). I'm also such an indecisive person it's extremely difficult to purchase something when I can't physically see it or try it on. And I HATE having to return things from online stores. I recently ordered a pair of booties, each with zippers down both sides from Forever21.com (from this post, actually), and they came to me with one shoe having a broken zipper (note how I didn't show the broken side, ha). So, totally excited about my purchase and impatient and in no mood to have to wait to send them back and have them returned, I simply sewed up the broken side. Totally bo-bo, but totally faster than returning it.

Anyway, tangent.

So I also hate buying accessories. It just seems like such a daunting task. There are so many necklaces and rings and earrings and bracelets and scarves and all them go with so many different things it's hard to see a necklace and build an outfit around like I can do with shoes or a skirt or a top or a dress. Ugh, I always feel so overwhelmed when shopping for accessories, so the fact that I'm getting a $90-worth bag full of them by someone else's choosing, makes me totally excited. Most of the accessories I DO own were either gifts or hand-me-downs.There is the the rare occasion that I see something I just have to add to my repertoire, but it is rare, indeed. The only exception: headbands. I have always loved headbands as a child, and I still love them and I buy them impulsively. Shoes are (sometimes regretfully) the same way. I have returned many a pair of shoes that I purchased to quickly and bought the wrong size or just simply had nothing to wear them with.

So, yea. I plan on doing an update with some photos once I get home tonight and get some photos off of my camera! 45 more minutes of work... hope I can make it!
