Buffalo Skirt: my design (find it here.)  Turtleneck: Forever21. (best, softest turtleneck ever.) Denim Jacket: Old Navy. (similar here.) Tights: Loft. (best opaque tights I’ve ever owned.) Boots: Hunter kids. (adult version here.)  Umbrella: Target.

Okay, first off.  How amazing was that Seahawks win yesterday?  Holy cow.  I thought all hope was lost and then nope.  Just inspiring.  I know this sounds completely stupid, but it felt like such a metaphor for life.  You know, all that “not packing it in in the last few minutes, going that extra 10%, not giving up on yourself…” etc, etc.  I know that sounds really cheesy, but there it is.

We had such a rainy weekend, (shocking for Seattle, really) and you guys, my hair.  Frizz city.  My skin loves this weather and my hair hates it.  Time for a keratin treatment.  I’ve been putting it off and putting it off, partly because it’s so expensive, but mostly because the last time I went to get my hair done I came out looking like Joan Jett.  Black hair, bad bangs, fringe, the whole she-bang, and I’m just a little bit apprehensive about going back, especially because my bangs are finally, finally(!) starting to get some length again.  Please tell me I’m not the only person who has post traumatic hair disorder… because seriously.

Also, I feel like you should be the first to know that our buffalo skirt dropped in the shop today, and we’re doing a very limited number of them.  This skirt is so good you guys, and it’s got pockets… It also pairs really nice with this turtleneck which I loved so much I bought in two colors.  You know how nuts I can be about stripes. ;-)  Also, if there ever comes a day when I get tired of mixing prints, wait, who am I kidding?  There’s no way that’s ever happening.

Happy Monday everyone,

let’s kill it this week!
