Le List (from makeup and beauty blog) 1. Mood: Like the weather, mostly cloudy. I'm not sad. I just feel pretty blah. Just like outside. It's so blah outside. 2. What time did you get up today? 7:00am. Later than usual, my phone was dead so K-Swiss's alarm woke me. 3. Are you dressing up for Halloween this year? I'm dressing up as a mean old lady who doesn't have candy. Basically the costume consists of placing a SORRY NO CANDY sign on your door, since your outdoor light is on auto, and sitting around the house with your boyfriend and two cats, ignoring all the doorbells. 4. What are three things you absolutely love about yourself? 1) I love that fact I pretty much have what I need to be happy now. A great boyfriend. A great car, apartment and computer. Disposable income. As soon as my car and student loans are paid off I'll be solid. 2) I love the fact 5. On average, how much time do you spend on the Internet each day? Oh. Lots and lots. Between 4-8

Black ribbed turtleneck tunic - Xhilaration (Target) - $11.98 Chain and beaded necklace - Forever 21 - $8.50 Gray skinny trousers - Celebrity Pink (Dillard's) - $29.99 Black beaded flats - Shoe Carnival - $7.50 Purple argyle sweater - Banana Republic - $8.00 Silver bow earrings - Claire's $1.58 ($9.50 for six pairs) Beaded bracelets - Tiffany - gift (or stolen. I don't quite recall) Total outfit cost: $67.55 I really loved this outfit. It was comfy and cute and fun. I also had on nails that were the same hue as the trousers, just a darker shade. Pulling my hair back to show off the makeup and earrings was a mistake. I realize that.

I totally altered something. I bought a dress from Goodwill that was an XL. I bought an XL on purpose so that I could try to alter it. And it was goodwill so if I messed up-- no big. Well it's only sorta messed up and not really noticeable :D I already had a version in black. I love this dress. It's kinda of like a ponte knit cocktail dress. It's a comfy and fitted LBD. Great for wearing with cardigans but looks pretty smashing on it's own. I also like to wear it with thin knit sweaters or tee-shirts underneath. This one is purple. You'll see it today. I'll either wear it with a printed cardigan or a navy turtleneck. Jury's still out.

Well, I know what I'm doing on December 6th!

Forever 21 black babydoll dress - Goodwill - $3.99 Forever 21 gray cardigan - Forever 21 - gift Kirna Zabete for Target pink and gray scarf - Target - $9.98 Xhilaration pattern gray leggings - Target - $4.50 (clearance) Charlotte Russe black over-the-knee boots - Charlotte Russe - $19.98 (clearance) I had so much trouble getting a photo of this outfit it's not even funny. The resident "photog" needs to make a tutorial on how to take decent outfit photos of yourself with a cell phone. In the bathroom. With crappy lighting (it's not like I can balance my phone on the stair railing outside). I even stood on my vanity chair (a basket with a cushioned lid) at one point to try and get a full body shot. But it's a CLEAR fail. Whatever. It's not like I'm one of those bloggers with several dozen people waiting to see their outfits. I don't think I even have several follows waiting to see my outfits.

I find this completely offensive

I think it's because I once bought socks for my brother from a shoe store via ebates. But if they're sending me deals for shoe stores, why can't it be something like Aldo or Zappos?
