This weekend we went to Old Navy and I got a crazy deal on a bunch of stuff for Dave and myself. This blouse was $3. It has bright orange butterflies on it that match my alarmingly orange sweater perfectly!
All this for $48. 3 blouses for me, skirt and 2 sweaters and 2 shirts for Dave.
I got such a great deal I had a moment on insanity and smiled with teeth. Don't worry I am over it.
Makeup. Naked palette on eyes, Hervana from Benefit on cheeks and Philosophy Pumpkin muffin lipgloss.
Does anyone know who is on these earrings? It isn't in English. I am guessing they are a blessed metal (medal?) I remember going to Saint Anne de Beaupre as a kid and getting some. I am not Catholic though so my knowledge is limited.
All this was in my bag. Including the lunch. This honestly is packing light for me. This bag is SO heavy on it's own I don't like to carry it.
Bag L.A.M.B, library books. collapsible Tupperware (this was a gift probably 7 years ago it is actual Tupperware and we adore it. It gets a LOT of use) frappe, water bottle, ww calculator, baggie that used to have crackers, camera, house and car keys, work keys, ginger oil, pill box, korres lip balm (it is the bomb diggity) headphones, sunglasses, wallet.
Mini book review. Eh. That is what I thought about it. eh. Dave kept asking how it was and I kept saying eh. Then he would say "why keep reading?" I dunno. eh. I owe .50 cents on it too because it took me so long to finish.
What did you do this weekend?
We went to a party on Friday (more later) hung at home Saturday and shoveled snow! Sunday we went to Ulta (more later:) ) and went to Olive Garden for the first time in 12 years! And Dave worked on a project. I will give you a hint.
Comments
I've been sick all weekend and reading would have been a great idea, but I just watched cartoons instead. Of course being sick is not an exemption from snow shoveling which I got to do several times on Saturday. Fun!
I love the flowers on your sweater! The whole outfit is very cute. (Ignore the link from my profile--the blog was a class project several years ago, and I just use this account for blogs that require me to sign in to comment now.)
Totally jealous of the butterfly blouse. What a sweet steal!
I'm gonna guess Dave's project is a cat tree. I took the carpet off our old tree and need to get some replacement. But in removing the carpet, I learned that they used those fiber-board cylindrical concrete footer forms. They just cut it into 1/4 circle sections so that the sleeping platforms are gentle arcs that cradle the kitties. Actually, I think they did it because the forms are cheaper than plywood. Of course, I write all this and will learn that a cat tree was not the project.
Anyways, you look great. That orange is a wonderful color on you.
We saw the concrete footer forms but i got worried about cutting them.
funny so we were pricing out the project and it was getting way to expensive and we don't have a saw anymore. I decide to buy dave a new saw because the one we lent we wil never see again. he had this $20 piece of plywood and he was trying to figure out how to cut it so we could get it in the car and have the maximum usable. this guy comes up and says "you need anything" dave said no, typical male response. I know what I am doing. I said NO WAIT do you have cut pieces of wood?
the guys SURE WE DO. Takes me to the back and they had a big pile of cut off bits people left for .50 a piece! We got all we needed for $2 instead of almost $28 for just the wood!! We got the good 2 by 4 with rounded edges even.
So awesome that you found the remnants pile. I know that some big box DIY stores will make X cuts free, then charge you some small amount after that. I did projects for years like that, so that the wood would fit in my car like you point out.
I also love this look. It suits you perfectly, the cardigan is fantastic, the skirt is adorable... I am officially tempted to buy some orange (saw a really lovely orange button-up the other day on steep discount, but didn't buy it because the colour kind of freaked me out... Really, though, the best time to buy colours that freak you out are when they are on steep discount, so now I'm doubly motivated, thank you!).

HA!
