What is up with this week? Not to brag but I think I look extra good...and the funny thing is I did nothing different this week. Oh well, I won't question it, I just hope it continues. Besides my hair and makeup cooperating, this was a pretty standard week: work, blogging, posting Potter news and watching tons of TV (Sailor Moon, Gilmore Girls, Sex & the City, The Big Bang Theory etc.). As you can see I live a VERY exciting life...not!
Funny story about my Jason Wu dress from Monday: I was returning it along with the kitty tee and pink striped dress (because I've spent too much money lately) and i had noticed previously that they charged me twice for the tee so I was going to mention that, but then something awesome happened. The woman told me the dress wasn't on my receipt...meaning they accidentally charged me the tee price ($19.95) for it, so I decided to keep it...SCORE!
This weekend is a 3 day weekend, YAY! I have no plans for Monday, but I don't mind. I like lazy days, they are rather enjoyable. Sunday I'll probably go to my grandma's and Saturday I am going to make these biscuits (based on Ruby Tuesday's biscuits), but without the cheese because cheese is gross. Do you have Monday off?

This week started off nice and easy but yesterday some garbage happened at work and I had to stay late...so annoying! Oh wells...that's what happens in the real world. I wore a lot of red this week, so funny how that happens, do you ever end up wearing the same color scheme for a few days. So far I have no plans for the weekend apart from going to my Grandma's on Sunday for our weekly lazy day. I might go see Beauty and the Beast in 3D with my mom and sister but we haven't decided yet.
And my roommate has people coming over tomorrow (including my other best friend) so that should be interesting...something crazy always happens when she goes out. I've been woken up at 2am plenty of times to her jumping on me saying she loves me, ha ha...gotta love drunk people. I personally don't drink, but that's mostly because I hate the feeling of alcohol...it burns, ha ha.

Since last weekend was the last one in January I decided to be bad & blow the rest of my budget instead of being a good girl. Saturday I went to DSW and Marshalls with my Mom and sister. I must have had Tahari on the brain [you'll see why]. On Sunday I was supposed to go shopping with my friend, but that didn't happen so I did something else... You can click all the photos to see everything larger :D
Saturday: We stopped at Marhsalls first & I found this awesome leopard print Tahari sweater for only $20, normally $178! It's a little big since its a large & I'm usually a S/M, but I figure I'll mostly wear it unbuttoned or belted. AND I can wear it as a dress too, a short dress...but a dress ;)
They happened to have 2 so I picked up both & am selling the other on eBay, so if one of you lovely ladies would like it you can bid/buy it now HERE! :D Here's the deal: if there are no bids & you want to make an offer (at least $20 + $5 for US shipping/$15 international), I'll take it off eBay so you don't have to worry about bidding...the perks of being a follower ;) To make an offer email me at aclosetfashionista-blog[at]yahoo[dot]com.
*It starts at $29.99 so I at least make the $20 I spent after all the stupid fees, the buy it now price is $59.99 so I'll make $40 so its like getting the one I bought for myself free ;)
Then we went to DSW and there were lots of cute shoes on sale. I found these Tahari 'Travis' Oxfords for $79.94 & they were 70% off so I paid $24. I'm guessing they are normally around $110 since that's what DSW says... I'm not sure if I want to keep them though...what do you all think?!
On Sunday I did some more damage. I was supposed to go shopping with a friend, but as usual the plans fell through. I get very annoyed when people don't plan things properly. She texted me on Sunday morning to let me know that she couldn't go anymore... *rolls eyes* but that's better than on Sunday afternoon like I thought she would. So I decided to treat myself to a Chanel nail polish...I got the Limited Edition Riva shade, it was $2 more than the normal ones at $27 but whatever...I also got free shipping and 2 free samples [Chanel N°5 Eau Premiere and Inimitable Mascara (Noir Obscur)], yay!!! This was a big splurge for me, it took me like 5 hours to press the checkout button...I'm so crazy.
So all in all i spent $71 this weekend. (I'm not counting the $20 on the second Tahari sweater since I should break even selling it or I'll return it, haha)
