Beward the Ides of November?!

Boy did that sinus stuff really catch up to me! I've spent the past two days covered up w/a fever and blowing my nose. Fortunately, the fever broke mid-afternoon yesterday and I'm on my way to feeling much better. It's amazing how the body works, you know? The fever worked hard to kill the infection I have going on and by just letting it run its course, I'm well on my way to feeling back to normal.

Today's outfit is a great example of dressing to make you feel better. I missed the past two days of work but HAD to work today (the weekend) so I dressed in bright colors in hopes of perking up. It worked!


Cardi: NY&Co.

Birdy graphic t: Old Navy ($2.49!!!!!!)

Wide-leg jeans: Old Navy

Green Heels: Ralph Lauren

horseshoe necklace: gift


Old Navy recently had their 30% off friends & family event and I snagged this shirt off clearance for $2.49! I've not usually a fan of tshirts because most are crew neck and that's just not a good look for me. However, this is a v-neck so I couldn't say no.

I also picked up a Party Cardi at Old Navy and a cute top for layering. Keep a look out for those in the next week or so! I can't wait to wear them. What did you get at Old Navy with your 30% off coupon?

Headless horselady

Ever have one of those days when you just want to remove your head from your body? That's the kind of day I had. My sinuses are killing me and I look like a goofball. So I removed my head :)


Ikat print top: dressbarn

lime cardi: Target

Wide-leg jeans: Old Navy

Peep-toe heels: Cole Haan


Not a whole lot to say about this. I liked the outfit and was really comfortable in it. I wish I had a dozen more shirts like this. It zips up - no buttons to gap or be wonky. Brilliant!

Cheap Beauty Goodies: Avon Bent Eyeliner Brush















I absolutely love my Bobbi Brown Gel Liners. They are a splurge that I'm willing to pay for. They go on easily and they last until I take my makeup off at night. I own the black ink, black mauve ink (love), bronze shimmer and hunter ink. So, after you've blown your makeup budget on 4 eyeliners, what do you buy to apply it with? Behold the Avon Bent Eye Liner Brush for the magic price of $1.99! Sure, you could buy Bobbi Brown's eyeliner brush for $25, but why would you? The Avon brush is fantastic and the bent end makes it easier to use, at least for me. I am makeup challenged!

I'm really thinking I need that caviar ink liner next...
