GIVEAWAY? Funny you should ask. Why yes, I am doing a GIVEAWAY. And if you click on one of those little obscenely big links right there, you can learn all about it!

And now for an outfit post! Remember that shirt that I showed in my post yesterday, that everyone seems to love, at least according to the comments - I hope you tell me the truth in my comments, otherwise I would feel very sad ^^ - well, here it is!

 Hope you love it on as much as you did in the photo! Because I do, so you may be seeing it a lot more. It's really, reallllly long, so it's actually probably the only shirt I tuck in the front and the back (normally I just blouse the front and leave the back untucked) but I like it anyways! And it was perfect for a day of work at the mall.

This is weird guys, I'm actually wearing color! And today while I was at Old Navy, I bought myself a lavender tank and a yellow tshirt dress. What is my wardrobe coming too!? Well now I'm just being melodramatic. I'm actually pretty excited to be branching out and trying some new things, saves me from getting into a wardrobe rut, you know? I even bought these adorable lavender skinny cords from J. Crew, and they are just love. Why am I buying so much clothing, you may ask? I honestly don't know. Don't worry, it's a phase. I have them some times. Once I'm back in school it'll all blow over. The perils of working in retail, I tell you! You work around all this clothing all day, and all you think about is how this piece would look on or how that piece would go great with that pair of pants you own, etc. etc. Sigh. Now, I need to have some food, as with the exception of the piece of cake I had this afternoon, I haven't eaten since lunch. Which I ate at 11. Oh goodness... good night!

sweatshirt

 

The title of this post will serve as my explanation as to why I'm posting a collage instead of an outfit. I know, I know, I said I would take actual pictures today. But it was so cold! I wore an old sweatshirt all day and literally almost froze to death. I haven't seen the sun in days. Basically things are looking bleak weather-wise in Minnesota. Apparently we're supposed to get sun tomorrow? I'll believe it when I see it.

In other news, I had my day of shadowing at the carousel today! For those of you who haven't read my blog before, I mentioned previously that I'm volunteering at this historical carousel at a zoo/park in St. Paul. Despite the cold it was really fun! I spent a normal shift (3 hours) following around some of the women who were working the carousel today, learning the routine and all the safety regulations. And let me tell you there are a lot! I spent most of my time on the carousel stressed some small child was going to fall off or some teenager was going to break the leg off a horse. Thankfully none of those things happened. Also, getting on a moving carousel is difficult! I know, they don't move that fast, but still! There are poles everywhere, the horses are moving up and down... needless to say my first few tries were quite graceless. But I think I got the hang of it! Hopefully I can sign up for a shift on my own soon.

  I have a busy day tomorrow! I can't make any promises, but I should be wearing something cute (and if its hits 70 that should make it a lot easier!) Good night :)
