Almost a time traveller

I'm not quite a time traveller but I do belong to the best cult in the world. Clint really surprised me when I had the latest Chuckie P. (my monkier for him, not his given name) waiting for me when I got home. Clint knows I don't like surprises but Clint REALLY knows that I DO like surprises & he knows how hard it is to actually surprise me with something. Needless to say, he's done good & I've done better by having the best boyfriend in all the worlds of all the places of existence in all the eons of time to the power of infinity (plus one).

And I was really stinky (sweat, sun, & dogs) when these photos were taken so be thankful that smell-o-vision computers haven't been invented yet.

Another Forever 21 top (what can I say? They're cute & so inexpensive), the ole' reliable Vera Wang jeans, end of last summer clearance at Payless for these really awesome turquoise fringe sandals, turquoise filigree cross necklace (gifted by Clint's parents at Christmas)

Not quite so fat Tuesday

I promise I would have uploaded these last night but I was in a serious funk after Detroit lost in overtime. It's not looking good for the Wings & if they lose the next one, they are out of the playoff's completely. On a good note, I'm glad I took these before the game or else we would have hard proof of my disappointment-induced tears. On a more fashion sided note, I got my DIY Red Wings jersey in last week & it's super cute!! I'll even wear it if my guys don't make it to the playoff's just to spite Sidney Crosby.

Yesterday's outfit was pretty casual but I knew I was going to be hauling files up & down all day so I wanted to be comfortable & wear something that would protect my tootises from the inevitable falling of 20 pound 3-ring binders. As always, the Chucks save the day!!

Fuschia tank - Forever 21 (I stock up on tanks every summer), black bolero with fuschia stitching (ebay), Vera Wang jeans (Kohl's super sale), black Chucks (seriously, who doesn't have at least one pair of these?), & funky fish necklace - Forever 21 (keeps me entertained because it wiggles on its own)

Monday a la Xiom

So, yes, here's part one of five for this week's fashion blog & I'm totally channeling fraggle rock frugal frox on this one. I'm already learning lots about doing fashion blogs. As in, don't take pictures after a 10 hour work day (with a dog park meet & greet afterwards) then expect to look as cute as you did when you left the house 14 hours prior. Speaking of cute, Clint's idea of me looking cute is not the same as me looking cute. Frustration will be very clear after about 10 minutes of doing the same pose over & over & over (& nope, that's not a bruise above my left eye, just bad lighting) And, always, thank your photographer with super hot sex after the photo session. Ok, maybe not, but be sure to show some gratitude. I'll do better tomorrow!!

Here's the breakdown: Forever 21 necklace (super cheap), sheer ruffle blouse (thrifted), polka dot button up (gifted), Vera Wang jeans (50% off at Kohl's), & Merona flats (Target clearance)
