Shoulder Situation

As a defense mechanism I tend to shop when I am stressed. Thankfully though I tend to only sale shop and just look at the savings.

So I was inspired by the following outfit:

Cute right and perfect for walking around on campus. So I headed to my favorite spots and picked up the following and huge discounts.

This shirt in cocoa (which is not really brown but a mauve color) for $8.99 (WAS $58.00)

These navy pants $17.99 (WAS $49.00) and of course I had to get a pair of shoes!

I got this pair because I am not really sure about the men's trend that's going on right now and I can sorta ease into it with this shoe. I would have loved if they came in a luggage color though. The shoes were 24.98 (WAS 55.00) with free shipping.

List now look later

So for this year I have made a conscious effort to really be organized, and for the most part it's working. After I almost lost my David Yurman white and yellow gold (not silver) bracelet and gave myself a heart attack. I told myself I needed to stop being so lazy when it came to my personal things. I now organize my jewelry and makeup collection on a weekly basis. When it comes to closet and must haves I always use my iphone notes.




Here I tend to jot down things that need replacing and must have items. My list for the year is just about done.

Black Turtleneck - Done. Picked one up from Old Navy since they had a promotion on free shipping for $50 dollars worth of merchandise. This is a staple since it tends to fade every season with frequent washings.




Boyfriend Jeans (done) - I was also on the lookout for a pair of boyfriend jeans so I headed to the Gap online. Since Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic and Piperlime are all connected the free shipping on $50 or more extended to all sister stores.




I can wear the outfit with my Burberry trench, my inspiration was this.




I still have on the list:

Camel Top

Leopard Scarf (saw one at Zara the other day I will probably pick it up)

Arm warmers - I want a pair of really nice ones nothing to pricey since I will be losing them most likely.

Schoolhouse rock

Yay for the outlets, since my job will be being a student for the rest of the year I no longer need a conservative getup. Not only do I not need it (right now at least) but I think of all the money I will be saving. Seriously a suit from Jcrew (my usual suspect) was about 400. Then I had shoe costs and other outfit needs. I am glad that the money can be used towards other things like handbags haha, or more books :( and hair supplies.

My hair has been growing my goal is to grow out the dye and try to be natural for at least one year. No lie its work, my crazy hair routine is as follows:

Sunday - deep condition with my heat cap then wash and either braid or twist my hair.

Monday night - retwist at night using Ms. Jessie curly pudding and shea butter. Always sleep with scarf or satin bonnet.

Tuesday night - Bantu knots at night using spritz of all natural oils and Carols Daugthers.

Wed - deep condition with my heat cap then wash and either braid or twist my hair.

Thursday - retwist at night using Ms. Jessie curly pudding and shea butter.

Friday - Bantu knots at night using spritz of all natural oils and Carols Daugthers.

Saturday - two strand twist in eight sections


When my hair gets a bit longer I will begin putting it in buns and ponytails. I am addicted to Qhemet Biologics Burdock Root Butter Cream and Alma Cream (heavy winter cream). I apply the cream to my hair as soon as I step out the shower from washing.




The only thing when you order from them you have to make sure you put insurance on your item. I ordered something and somehow the postal service misent the item. They to this day have no clue where it is, I have a feeling though that someone from the post office is walking around with softer hair.
