20120924-203005.jpgHow excited am I about finding this polka dot sweatshirt? So excited that I’m erupting in random fits of laughter, as seen above. When you’re all cozied up in a sweatshirt but, at the same time, you’re managing to not look like an obese couch potato who buys generic Cheetos in bulk and eats them while watching the Maury show, it’s hard not to be a good mood. (Man, Cheetos sound really good now…Moving on…)

‘Twas a chilly but sunny fall day yesterday, the perfect excuse to wear a scarf and boots. It’s outfits like this that make me happy even in the midst of political ad season. And that’s saying something.

I’m happy to announce yet another successful fulfillment of my fall shopping list: wedge ankle boots. I originally had my eye (both of my eyes, actually) on the new TOMS boots, but I found these very similar ones at Target for less than half the price. Although, when you think about, with TOMS you’re actually buying two pairs of shoes, and you’re helping someone in need. However, I have several big-ish ticket items on the list, so I wanted to save where I could. Don’t worry, I’ll donate some money to charity around Christmas or something 😉

This is what I wore to class on Saturday (it’s been 4 weeks but “class” and “Saturday” still don’t sound like they should go together). The boots were super comfortable and I didn’t feel like I was wearing a heel, which is definitely important when I’m carrying around all the extra weight of books and a laptop. And can we talk about how the color looks so great with mustard yellow? Because it does.
