No red or pink...

I did that on purpose.  I hate Valentine's Day.  It's especially painful when you're single.  Seeing everybody laden with flowers, candies and chocolates while others are left empty handed just doesn't seem fair.  But who says life is fair anyway.  I had a mostly crabby day and I think it was partly due to the overwhelming sense of loneliness Valentine's Day produces for me.  Anyway, enough whining.

Here's my Monday outfit:

Jacket from Kohl's, pants from Wal-Mart, tank from Target, necklace Payless and shoes Fergalicious.

Here's my inspiration:

I actually do have shoes very similar to those but I didn't feel like wearing them.

I hope you had a better day than I did.

Happy day!

Today was the VNSA book sale.  I've been going for years (can't remember the exact number).  Today I got a lot of Japan and Japanese books.

On a whim we decided to stop at the Japanese market (Fujiya) on the way home.  To my surprise I found these:

February More and cheese Kit Kats (I got the last box on the shelf if you believe that).  They smell powerfully like cheese but I don't think they taste much like cheese.  I think they taste kind of like coconut.  Weird.  Add cheese to the interesting Japanese Kit Kats I've tried.

Cheese
Almond
Ramune (nasty)
Berry Pomegranate
Apple Vinegar
Peach
Green Tea

Is that it?  That doesn't seem very impressive.  I'll have to see what they have in June.

Oh Japan, you're so funny!

And now the rest of the week...

So I guess it didn't really matter what I wore on Wednesday.  No one looked at my outfit as they were too busy complimenting my hair.  Apparently it was the best hair day of my life.  I wish I had taken a close-up.  Oh well.

Wednesday:

I guess the drab poof I was doing with my hair while waiting for the bangs to grow out was just a ho hum hairstyle.  I love Japanese magazine featuring dark tights with light shoes.  I always forget I want to try it out.  Well, while paging through mags I saw it again and decided to give it a go.  I think it turned out pretty good.  Sweater Forever 21, skirt & shoes Target, tank Goodwill and necklace Zizibeh.

Thursday:

So this outfit received stares, gasps, a fan club and loud exclamations.  In addition one person took a photo.  She was trying to be sneaky about it but I saw her.  Oh well, maybe I'll be famous.  Boots from Payless, leggins Kohl's, top from Japan, necklace from 109 and sweater Delia's.

Now to veg the rest of the night.

Big busy post...

Happy new week!  (Though this one didn't start off great.)

Monday:

The first pic was the outfit I didn't like (and stand up straight geez).  The second one I liked better.  Top from Wal-Mart, leggins Zizibeh, skirt Target, boots eBay and the rejected vest from XI.  (Cute but most uncomfortable boots on the planet.)

Monday night I picked out Tuesday and Wednesday's outfits.

So productive!

Tuesday:

Sweater from Goodwill, skirt Kohl's, shoes Wal-Mart, the tights and scarf came from my trip to the UK a couple years ago.  Unfortunately about 2:00 I was really sweating in this.  :/

I was inspired by this J-Style outfit:

Tonight on "Glee" Brittney wore some definite J-Style inspired outfits.  I liked the pink one but I only managed to sketch out the black and white one.

Don't judge me for my messed up foot and arm.

That's all for today!  Busy busy!

It's been a long week...

So long that I haven't updated all week!

Anyway, here's my week in fashion.

Monday:

Top/dress made by me, bunny necklace from Zizibeh, boots eBay.

Tuesday:

This is another version of an outfit I wore a while back.  Boots eBay, sweater Goodwill, skirt Target.

Don't know what happened to Wednesday and I was sick on Thursday.

Friday:

Professional dress for our competition.  I hate that the belt loops leave unsightly bulges.  Sweater from Goodwill, pants from Target and shoes from Wild Pair 100 years ago.  :)

So that's my week.  Sorry it's so late!

Late winter...

Regarding the magazines.  I think February is considered late winter.  Around here the weather is quite weird lately.  It will be really cold in the morning sometimes as low as 2°C.  Then, in the afternoon it gets around 21°C.  It's really weird.  Anyway, I wanted to share some late winter loves and post the only other outfit worth posting from this week.

I think I wore this on Tuesday:

Tank from Wal-Mart, overshirt & necklace Zizibeh, skirt Target, boots & leggins eBay.

Weekend + Monday...

So Saturday, we all went out for my friend's birthday.  I wore this:

I know it's kinda hard to see.  Boots from Overstock.com, hoodie from eBay, tank and shorts Goodwill.

Monday:

My camera battery was dead so this is a phone pic.  If I look tired, it's because I am.  Mondays and I don't get along.  Top from eBay, leggins Kohl's, boots Zizibeh.

That's all from me!  Off to bed.

Late update...

Um, so I guess I didn't update this week.  Oops!  Here's what I wore this week. 

No work Monday!

Tuesday:

Tank from Goodwill, boots eBay, skirt is from Wal-mart but I dyed it dark, overshirt from Zizibeh and necklace from Lia Sohpia.  My face looked horrid so I had to crop it out.

Wednesday:

I guess I'm growing out my bangs.  Shrug.  I guess I'm doing it out of laziness.  Tank from Japan, sweater Goodwill, leggins Wal-mart, boots Kohl's and I made that skirt.

Thursday:

Tops from YesStyle, necklace from Zizibeh and boots eBay.

So that was my week.  How was yours?

Saturday wear...

So I went out of Saturday and since it wasn't so cold I wore this:

I took the Japanese style bathroom mirror photo.  Hoodie from eBay, top from YesStyle, shorts from Goodwill, bag from Kohl's, tights from Claire's and boots from Zizibeh.

We went to Kona Grill.  It has a cool sink:

Anyway, that's all.  I have a terrible headache.

Week in review...

I think I've mostly kicked the sick (or at least the antibiotics did).  It's been and exhausting snotty week and I can't tell you how glad I am to have Monday off.

Anyway, here's Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

This is me winterizing a warmer weather outfit.  Though by the end of the day it was much too warm for all this.  Top from Wal-mart, boots and legwarmers eBay.  Tons of hair compliments.  :)

Ugh, I hate my hair in this pic.  There are a number of problems with the above outfit aside from my paperdoll stance.  This tank, from I can't even remember where, sags and can be revealing at times so I spent the day with my hoodie zipped up all the way.  The other problem is the Target skirt is so faded.  It's time to buy some Rit and break out the dye pot!  Other than that I guess it's okay.  :/  Leggins from Wal-mart, jacket and boots from eBay, necklace is from Kohl's.

Went out with the girls on Friday and wore this:

Shorts from Kohl's, shirt and tights from Target, boots Zizibeh, necklace Lia Sophia and the hoodie from YesStyle.  Love it!

That's all for now.  I have to go get ready for dinner tonite with a different set of girls and one very very hot guy.  :D
