a few new finds...

while i was away at convention, we had a short break the day

of arrival that a few us spent shopping at the Galleria mall in Dallas.

oops. and last Friday on my day off, i hit Ross too.

double oops. this shopping thing is OUTTA CONTRO'!

but i look good so it's okay, right?

pants: agaci too

shirt: newport news

vest: windsor (i had never heard of this store before

seeing it at the Galleria mall)

broach: vintage (gifted from momz)

shoes: Joey (purchased at Ross)

upper halfness:

vest detail (love those colors!)

broach close-up:

earrings (only God knows where I've gotten any of my jewelry):

ooolala! shoes! which are quite easy

to walk in i might add

(I assume because they are clunkier near the front):

Ross was having their shoe sale last week.

I woke up from a nap hearing a commercial about a shoe sale

at Ross and knew I had to go.

another day without eye makeup!!

actually.

i'm kindof getting used to it!

aside from looking more tired than usual,

i don't look half bad.

in other news, my dog was diagnosed with arthritis

yesterday. i'm still a little shocked. clementine

is stoic, active, playful, and silly. she doesn't

whimper or act sensitive to the touch. i just

noticed her missing a jump recently and noticed

her not greeting me at the front door a few times

like she usually does. she's now on medication

and a special diet. the vet said she needs to get

and i quote "skinny skinny." that freaks me out

because i've never seen her that thin before. but i

promised her i'd go on a diet too. no extra

treats for me until clementine starts feeling better!
