I am dead tired from work so I don't really have much to say...I tried to pep up my spirits by wearing awesome shoes this week, but by Thursday I was too tired to do anything so I just threw on clothes, ha ha. You may not even get Friday's outfit if I'm too tired to take it and update this in the morning. [Update: Added Friday....]
Also, don't forget to enter the 31 Bits Necklace giveaway!
In other, more happy, news, my mom is awesome! Remember those amazing OASAP jeans, seen in my Karl Addict post? I love the jeans, but the button (a pair of lips) was a bit odd for me, so I went through my Mom's buttons and found a cool, more edgy ones and she changed them for me.

This past Sunday I went to another blogger meetup, this time with Lydia, Courtney and Christine! I had already met Lydia and Courtney but this was my first meeting with Christine and she is awesome! We met up in Milford at Stonebridge Restaurant (which is literally 5 minutes from my house) for brunch. I had a delicious plate of French toast and the other girls had some form of eggs. After we were fed and watered we headed to my house so we could walk to the beach and take our group and outfit photos! That was easier said than done, as it was SUPER windy. Our hair was blowing everywhere as was the sand, but it was fun and we all enjoyed ourselves. I just love blogger meetups, I'm always nervous beforehand because I'm so shy, but I loosen up and enjoy myself pretty quickly. So here we go with our photos, as you can see we all look pretty amazing!
Courtney: Shorts: H&M, Tights: Target, Top: ModCloth, Cardigan: Urban Outfitters, Boots: Aldo, Cuffs: F21, Jacket: Urban Outfitters, Purse: UO
Christine: Coat: American Eagle, Cardigan: Banana Republic, Blouse: BCBG, Jeans: F21, Boots: Rosegold, Bag: H&M, Scarf: thrifted, Sunglasses: gift
Lydia: Striped Top: Old Navy, Coral Jeans: TJ Maxx, Moto Jacket: Express, Booties: Madden Girl, Clutch: Zara Jewelry: Towne & Reese, Taken for Granite, House of Harlow, Kie & Kate, Anjolee, Sunglasses: Halston
My outfit: Jeans: Free People (Marshalls) $30, Sweater: Tahari (TJ Maxx) $20, Tank: Forever 21, Wedges: R2 (DSW) $35, Bag: Chanel, Bracelets c/o 31 Bits, Alligator Pin: Laila Rowe, Coat: DKNY, Watch: Michael Kors, Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs Shopbop gift card
Here are some more details of my outfit, this is a blog about my style after-all. ;) I feel very exposed on top in this outfit (and I'm not even exposed), I'm not used to wearing such low cut tank tops with nothing over them...you all know how I'm always covered up, ha ha.
After photo taking we headed to Plato's Closet where I found an amazing pair of leopard flats that I used to have but loved too much and ruined them. I was going to buy them, because they were only $14, but I resisted and let Courtney have them ;) Then we went to Marshalls. I bought 2 things that are slightly too big but I don't care, they were too good to pass up. I got an amazing Michael Kors skirt for $10 (regular $80) and gorgeous Franco Sarto maroon boots for $15 (regular $80?). The boots are a size 9 and I'm usually an 8 or 8.5 but I'll just stuff something in the toes and they'll be fine. Theoretically the skirt should have been too small or just right (since it was a 2) but it was a little big...so weird!
Christine, the amazing woman that she is, brought us all little gift bags with some handmade items and other fun things! How weird is it that I got a cute knitted owl?! She didn't even know I was obsessed with them, woo! You can buy your own owl, or many other adorable items at Christine's Etsy!
And here are two amusing photos to demonstrate the wind and craziness that ensued while taking these photos.
Photos by me, Lydia and Courtney!

We’ve combined successful development approaches with current design and fashion to create an innovative program for our women. We purchase jewelry from each woman on a monthly basis, providing them with an immediate, consistent, and fair income. Each piece of jewelry is handmade using 100% recycled paper and other local materials. By selling these products in the international market, we are able to generate a profit that is used to continue purchasing jewelry for our beneficiaries, as well provide them with numerous development programs, equipping them to develop a career and attain social equity on a local level. We are committed to working with each woman until she has graduated from our program and attained a sustainable means of income within her own community.I am always a fan of companies that support a good cause so I will definitely be sure to keep checking up on 31 Bits to see all their new products. Their Spring collection, entitled Chasing Daylight, is amazing. I love the color scheme, especially the fuchsia. They were kind enough to send me a few bracelets to style, so here we go with an outfit! I tried to go for a modern hippie look, not sure I succeeded though...

Last week I decided to wear every color of the rainbow because I'm a wacko. This was the first time I've worn these orange tights and it wasn't too bad. They were a bit bright for me and they aren't even bright...that should tell you something. I couldn't wait for Spring to wear this Jason Wu for Target dress so I decided to layer it over my super comfy French Connection turtleneck.
Have you ever donned a rainbow outfit or do you feel like its too clowny? I personally think it worked this time (except maybe the tights) but if any of my pieces were brighter it would go WAY off the mark and be a disaster.
Dress: Jason Wu for Target $40, Sweater: French Connection gift, Heels: Marc by Marc Jacobs net-a-porter gift card, Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs Shopbop gift card, Watch: Michael Kors, Purse: Marc by Marc Jacobs
[ignore the fact that I look pregnant in my jumping shot, ha ha]

You only get four outfits this week because I spent Monday in my pjs...perfection! I love short weeks, don't you!? Although, this week wasn't the best week to have only 4 days because we had something due to a client today and we're totally not done, but it isn't my fault so it will be okay. (still panicking a bit though.) This week was also strangely warm, I didn't have to warm my car up before work or wear a real coat...WOOHOO!
This weekend is going to be fun. I'm going to a blogger meetup tomorrow with my lovely Connecticut girls (and meeting a new one!) and then Grandma's on Sunday. Other than that I'll be relaxing and watching movies. I may have a Disney Classics marathon (abc family is having one but I want to watch more AND with no commercials.)
Friday Addition: I think I jinxed the weather...woke up to snow on the ground this morning. Normally I would enjoy this...too bad I have to go into the office today...darn, I hate driving in the snow!
P.S. Check out this exclusive interview net-a-porter has with Michael Kors, I will be posting my favorites from his Fall 2012 collection soon!!
