Monday Funday -- Ally

I have a personal love for 80 degree temperatures before 8am. *rollseyes* My office doesn't like to cool off (AC issues) so every day that it's hot outside, it's scorching in my office too. Yay!

Sweater: Merona

Skirt: Mossimo ($6 on the clearance rack @ Target!)

Wristlet: Devi Kroell for Target ($9 on clearance rack)

Shoes: Sofft via Zappos outlet (I think I paid $45)












I love the pockets on this skirt! They're not on the seam so they don't add unwanted bulk to my already-bulky hips.
















Leslie already mentioned the Zappos outlet and I'm here to profess my love as well.

I love shoes. Love love love. I have some pairs I hold delicately like a newborn and others I wear and abuse. Most get abused :) I'm very hard on shoes and walk a lot for my job.

The Zappos outlet was once a very closely-kept secret but now it's advertised and there are even coupons. That's great and all, but I liked it best when everything was $29.95 and the store was small. Now it's HUGE (10K sq. ft) and prices vary and there's always a complicated color system for the sale prices. Hell, they even give you a reference guide to carry w/you in the store. Just mark it all cheap and let me give you money. I promise I'll spend more than I should regardless!

This was a real after thought. Tracey had sung the praises of this line but none of the bags really spoke to me except this one. By the time I decided I had to have it, they were out of the stores. Magically, they appeared at one of Target stores in a less-desirable (yet loved by me) neighborhoods in town. FYI - all the good stuff is at that Target! I snatched it up @ $9. I love how you can put your hand through the strap on the side to carry it also. That's usually how I carry it, but today I left on the strap.




I'm thinking I need a haircut. I'm fortunate and have bone straight hair. I rarely use a blow dryer and never need heat styling. That means I get a haircut/trim about twice a year. I got a hair cut in late January and let her cut some bangs. To most that's not a big deal, but for those who remember 1998, y'all know I had some serious bangs. Fortunately, I bought a vowel and grew those suckers out. Amanda, my hair goddess, gave me cute sweepy bangs. I loved them at first, but after the first week, they began to grow out and poke me in the eyeball. Now they're long enough to go behind my ear.

I keep wanting to do something different but I know I shouldn't bother. I am FAR too lazy to commit to a hair style that will require anything other than combing out the tangles after I shower. I will not flat iron, dry, curl, condition, treat, color, or do anything to it. I guess it's good b/c it makes for healthy hair, but seriously. It's kinda boring.

Any ideas/suggestions?
