First thing’s first: Don’t forget today is the last day to enter the $25 Magnolia Boutique giveaway! So far there are 42 entries, and you have the option to enter up to 3 times! So your chances of winning are…um…cross multiply, do a permutation, multiply by 10,  solve for X, divide by Y squared. You figure it out.

Now. I know what you’re thinking. This is supposed to a blog about “real life” style. What normal person gets this gussied up just to go to the mall for some Christmas shopping? The answer is almost no one. But when I’m in the middle of finals week and I’ve spent 2 straight days in the same t-shirt and sweatpants and I’m starting to go cross-eyed from writing SIX essays for a take-home exam, I tend to go a little overboard. To make up for the 2 normal outfits I would have worn if I left the house those days, I wore 1 extra sassy one on day 3.

And I know what else you’re thinking. How am I not freezing in these flimsy little pants when it’s 18 degrees out? Never fear friends. I snuck some leggings under there. 🙂

To my fellow college/grad school/law school friends who aren’t yet done with finals: may you stay sane and warm. And may you like my blog page on Facebook. Thanks.

She’ll Be Comin’ Round the Mountain

I felt like a mountain climber in this outfit. I mean, I’ve never climbed a mountain before, but I imagine this is a typical outfit for that activity. I’ve got the flat boots for handling rugged terrain. I’ve got jeans, because that’s what you wear for doing things outside. I’ve got a puffer vest, which is practical for when it gets cold at night. I’ve got a ponytail to keep my hair out of my face and to swat away bugs.

Finally, I’ve got a bright blue polka dot cardigan. That’s the most important part of my mountain climbing outfit because I’m sure to get lost, at which point I can call for help and tell the helicopter pilot to look for the girl in the bright blue polka dot cardigan.

Or I could just not go mountain climbing because I have no idea what I’m talking about. Yeah, let’s go with that.
