Thanks to everyone who helped me out by taking the survey I posted yesterday. I’ve put a lot of work and thought into this blog over its relatively short life, so it’s nice to find out whether what I’m doing is resonating with people. And of course thanks for the support and encouragement you’ve been giving me all along: all the comments, tweets, likes, follows, or just plain old reading. You sure know how to make a girl feel special.

I’m keeping the survey open indefinitely so if you didn’t get a chance yet, please take a minute (literally one minute) to give me your feedback.

This was my outfit from Monday, the first day of class in the new semester. I decided to open with a bang: an orange sequin sweater and matching orange lip.

It’s Always Chilly in Indianapolis

I have a cold (I guess it’s better than the flu…or AIDS), and it’s been so bitter cold outside the past couple days that my face practically freezes immediately so I can’t even feel the snot running down my face. My sex appeal is through the roof this week.

Luckily I’ve found a couple pieces of clothing that are incredibly warm and make me feel like I’m wearing pajamas but without looking like I’m wearing pajamas. These leggings have fleece on the inside, you guys. They’re amazing. And they were only $8. They’re “one size fits most” which usually kind of scares me because I’m on the small side. These fit me just fine though, and they’re very stretchy. I should mention thought that they just barely reach my ankles and I’m only 5’3″…so if you’re tall they might be cropped. And for the record, I’m not getting any commission on these leggings…it is out of the kindness of my heart that I want your legs to be as happy as mine.
