Birthday Girl

Yea! It’s my birthday!

Oh, and that rhymed. 🙂

Have you ever noticed when you have money and are looking to spend it you can never find anything worth spending it on, but when the allowance your husband gave you is gone, you find so much! Ugh! I hate that. That is what today was. I basically made Bob go shopping with me all day. We had a brief break for lunch, and then back to shopping. We must have shopped for 5 hours. And Bob got more than I did. Seriously? I can’t believe how many clothes look bad on me. Or just plain mediocre. But I did get some boots! And I have money to spend another day.

However, yesterday, I got this fabulous bag and top. I’m pretty happy with the sequins for day and this bag should go with my boots that I’m getting on Friday. EEEEE! I love new clothes.

How was your day?

Summer into Fall

One thing that I am really bad at is layering. I need to take a class on layering. Do you know where I could go to do that?

My friend Gertrude is amazing at it. And Kendi is so good at it, it freaks me out! See below.

I mean seriously.

But I’m trying to get better and this is a strong attempt.

Von Maur, Lake St. Louis

by //

We just got a Von Maur right by our house. Do you have one? I had never heard of it before. It’s really close to my house though, so I’m sure I’ll be going there often and stalking the sale racks for good deals! He he he!

So anyway, Von Maur is basically a high end department store. They had some great stuff there too! I got a pair of huge fake diamond earrings for only $7! Pretty good deal. They sold real diamonds there too, but I decided I’d rather have a pair of huge fake ones than tiny real ones. For right now anyway. 🙂
