emotion is a virtue. for you, it is the one fatal flaw.

This is how I looked on Nov. 15, 2012:
11-15-12-pullover
11-15-12-coat
pullover: Forever21, gift from Kim.....top: Walmart.....jeans: Forever21
boots: Payless.....coat: H&M

I love this wool coat even though it is way too big. I bought it back in February on super-clearance, and I just can't part ways with it. Well, it does come in handy wearing it over my work suits.

I met up with Becca in SF to see Susanna Hoffs at Red Devil Lounge on Polk St. 

Susanna Hoffs is amazing.

love was surely made for fools like me

This is how I looked on Nov. 7, 2012:
11-7-12
jacket: Wilson's Leather.....cardigan: Nordstrom Rack.....top: Walmart
jeans: Forever 21.....socks: Target.....boots: Avenue

The fog earlier called for a jacket. So, I got out my trusty leather jacket. 
It's my only leather jacket.

say my name and every colour illuminates

This is how I looked the night of Nov. 4, 2012:
11-4-12-black
cardigan: Nordstrom Rack.....top: Target
skirt: Odille (Anthropologie), thrifted
boots: Aerosoles

In the previous post, I mentioned Savers in San Jose. At this same location, I scored this Anthro brand skirt for $4.99. I was looking for a black skirt with a little bit of a twist, and this textured cotton skirt fit the bill.

Anyway, this is what I wore to dinner at our favourite Sunday night spot, Firehouse No. 1 in San Pedro Square.

just keep the following the heartlines on your hand

This is how I looked on Nov. 4, 2012:
11-4-12-floral
cardigan: Nordstrom Rack.....top: Target
skirt: Nanette Lepore, Crossroads Trading Co.
shoes: Seychelles, thrifted

11-4-12-heels
I posted before that I was scouring thriftstores. 
Well, there is one store in particular that I love going to: Savers in San Jose. 
That is where I scored a pair of Seychelles heels for $7.99. Ridiculous.

11-4-12-floral-detail
A store that I should definitely frequent is Crossroads Trading Co., also in San Jose. 
That is where I scored this Nanette Lepore silk skirt for 16 bucks. Again, ridiculous.

I dressed up for a special occasion. My niece's music school had a recital. She did such a great job playing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" on piano. :)


please, please, tell me now. is there something i should know?

This is how I looked on Nov. 3, 2012:
11/3/12
hoody: gift from Kim.....jeans: Forever 21.....turtleneck: Target
socks: ?.....boots: Bakers Shoes

This green hoody was given to me in 2011. My friend Kim was pretty sure that it would suit me well, even though at the time I couldn't fit into it. Being the hoody hoarder that I am, I kept it and waited and waited and......waited. It now fits.

Sunday, I'll be wearing an outfit that does not consist of a hoody and jeans tucked into boots.

this fix is more important than you are

This is how I looked the night of Oct. 31, 2012:
10-31-12
hoody: PacSun, gift from Mom.....jeans: J. Crew, thrifted.....hidden tank top: H&M
socks: Target.....boots: Avenue

The best part about losing weight is shopping my closet. I've awakened my addiction to hooded sweatshirts because I can now fit into the ones I already own.

Because I'm being very cautious and kinda pessimistic, I haven't really entertained the thought of buying a whole new wardrobe. It could also be because I'm a cheapskate who'd rather scour thriftstores.

my reflection, dirty mirror

This is how I looked on Oct. 26, 2012:
10-26-12
green brocade coat: Anthropologie, gift from Emily.....sweater: Nordstrom Rack.....top: Marshalls
black coat: Gap Outlet.....denim leggings: JC Penney.....scarf: H&M
flats: Sam Edelman, gift from Whitney.....boots: Charlotte Russe

It's Breast Cancer Awareness month. The company I work for let us wear jeans and pink to the office. I wore my coral cardi because that's how I roll. The bejeweled flats are so lovely.

It was very cold this morning, so I got to wear this green beauty for the first time today.

I wore my trusty black Gap coat for happy hour at Firehouse No. 1. And why not? Teal boots.
