coming clean :: my skinny valentine

Dear Skinny Jeans --

Thanks for coming to the rescue last night. You were already nestled so comfortably in the hamper, but I thought you might want to join me for one last outing. After a huge plate of sushi, we came home content. I was so happy with the way you were wrapped around me. So tightly, as you had been when we first met.

We haven't known each other long. We found each other and fell in love this past Thanksgiving. You moved in with me and found your niche right away. We've shared a lot of good times since then.

But... I think it's time we move on. We don't mesh the way we used to. Even when we snuggle, you seem distant. Don't you feel the eerie space between us, too?

No, I haven't found someone else. I still love you, Skinny Jeans. I always will. I just don't think we were meant to be together... forever.

b&w vs. color

Color won this round! Next to the 'Purple Drama' dress, 'Black' was looking a little too formal. And how could anyone resist such cute, colorful shoes?!!

I did consider keeping both outfits, but on the 'Grey' shoes, the distressing on the light grey part looked more like scuff and dirt. And, more importantly, I really didn't need another pair of black work shoes!

buy one in every color!

Pens, tees, post-its... Stocking up has always been a bad habit of mine. "You just never know when you're gonna need it in another color!"

I first spotted this dress on Old Navy's website, but couldn't decide which color combo to get. Could I rock 'Purple Drama' at work? Would 'Black' be too boring?

No time to waste! Order both & decide later!

Up until a few weeks ago, I had never been on DSW's website. What could their website have that their ginormous stores didn't? How about these perfectly matching shoes?!!

The shoes arrived earlier today! But I knew I couldn't keep both. So I skipped my evening workout to decide...

The winning 'outfit' will be revealed "after the commercial break"!
