Hot Pants

These technically aren't hot pants, but they are HAWT pants.

From here I changed my lens to the 50mm one that I haven't even had much of a chance to try using! Do you notice anything different?  Hmm, maybe that it's a tiny bit out of focus.  Also, I noticed it takes the picture a lot faster (faster shutter speed somehow?) and the pictures were more true to the colors.  I always end up having to edit and lighten my photos, these I didn't touch.

boys christian dior blazer- thrifted ($3)

mustard j crew shirt: thrifted ($8)

j crew cords: thrifted ($12)

fiona brand shoe (payless?)- thrifted ($7)

Oh, this color j crew shirt I have been wanting FOREVER! I went to j crew in the mall and it was on "sale" for $30. Best believe I turned my self around and walked out that door empty handed! Shoooot.  The next day I went to Mustard Seed in Bethesda- (which is a more expensive thrift store that I still love because they are fair for their prices) which unfortunately for my pocket, is right across the street from my job.  I frequent it way too often, but especially when I am specifically looking for something in particular, then I go several times during the week.  But anyway, I went and they had it for $8 and I was thrilled.  I'd been wanting it for a while!

So that's that!  I'm proud of myself for my color combos the past two days!  Tomorrow is Friday, I might take a super comfortable route.

Saturday Monday

I wanna leave here in a minute for work and try to get there early.  Dev has been SUPER sick.  He has a bronchial virus called RSV, and needs to be on a nebulizer at night :( It's the saddest thing ever, but he seems to be getting better.  He was in bad shape this weekend, and especially Sunday and yesterday (Monday). 

On a happier note, I had some great thrifting buys this weekend!  I got a bunch of stuff for $19 at this hospital thrift store (meaning the funds go to the hospital), and then this amazing jacket from a vintage store called Venus on a Half Shell in Frederick MD.  More about this later, I want to share some outfits, and I'll update this post later today.  For now, here are the pics:

Be back later!

From What I Can Remember

Ok, so it's no secret that I suck big time!  But last week was HORRIBLE!  If you are in the area, you already know what type of day/evening was for anyone in the DC area.  There was a sudden snow storm and everyone that needed to travel from work to home, was stuck in their car, or bus, or wherever, for a minimum for 4 hours.  It was 5 and a half for myself, and that's ONLY because I read a map and found a different way home after my only two main roads to my house were stopped for hours.  I was only 5 minutes away, but I knew if I tried those ways, I would have been there for probably two hours, no exaggeration! Everyone was mind f'ed, if you know what I mean.  It was a very crazy experience. Hell, I could have been to NY and halfway back!  Crazy.

Anyway, as soon as I got a chance (today), I threw on outfits I could remember from last week as well as today's.  I hope it makes up for the lack of posts recently!
