My hair is getting so long! I can't even. Also, I promise I wear more than just red/white/black (and this skirt!) every day, but it's definitely an easy combo when you're running late for work. Ahem. Also, you already know this Internet, but I love my brother. Edited to add: I meant to post this last Friday but totally forgot. Hence the non-tattooed hands. Oh discrepancies!

Today was really long and busy and all I want to do is sit in front of my sewing machine, but I'm waiting on some fabric, so sad day. Mad Men and crocheting? Probably. Mainly I just wanted an excuse to show off this amazing cardigan because I'm in love with it. 

Everyone's really excited for Mumford's #Babel today, but mainly I'm just excited about this red polka dot cardigan I'm wearing.

Yep. Wasn't kidding. I picked up this beaut on a late night Target run with The Boyfriend. He was looking for 'slacks' that turned into denim khakis. They're a little too long so I have to take them up a bit and if they accidentally turn into skinnies in the process...whatever (;

PS doesn't that jumping picture look like I'm being carried away by a handful of balloons or something? That would be amazing right about now, haha. Also, I'm not actually glaring. That just kind of happens. It's my blank stare...so I should probably work on not looking like I'm going to shank someone and learn to "smile with my eyes" (didn't they used to say that on Next Top Model or something? I only saw two episodes. You tell me, because I obviously haven't mastered the skill either way). 

But hey it's almost Wednesday! And I don't really watch tv very often but did any of you guys catch some season premieres last night? I didn't, so I'm already behind, but Castle and 2 Broke Girls are on my list.

I was getting ready for work this morning trying on cardigan after cardigan to go with this outfit, aaaaaand...

It hit me! Polka dots on polka dots?! Yes I doooooooo! I love the way the black/white dots of the cardigan contrast the black/yellow of the tank. Wait...am I going for a double faux pas here? Is black and yellow a no-go? Maybe not...Wiz Khalifa doesn't seem to think so, ha. PS this outfit totally reminded me of miss Kara Haupt's late great fashion faux pas series! Those were so awesome.

What I take from today: I've always loved clashing prints, but I'm going to work on more 'dramatic' print mis-matching in the future. It's way too much fun! Also, I'm dyyying for a pair of wedges. I've wanted a pair for years and never got around to buying them (so lazy about shoe shopping). So. They're now at the top of the buy list...ahem.
