~ blues and greens and polka dots ~

I've always loved polka dots, yet I don't wear them that often.  Probably because they can be a little hard to style.  But I found some inspiration on pinterest this morning and decided to give them a shot!

{gap shirt, shoes, and scarf, old navy pants, target belt and purse}

I ended a day of working with chinese food and watching A Room With a View.

And happy Throwback Thursday everyone!

~ day 02 ~

Today after breakfast we literally shopped until we dropped (the dropping part happened in IKEA, but I think that would happen to anyone).

{scooped up these Anthropologie pants for 7 bucks - major score!}



{Anthro has the pretties dresses}






{amazing falafel for lunch}

After lunch we braved the two story IKEA and I fell in love with everything I saw...

{I freaked out when I saw all the fabric!}

Such a fun day!

~ merry and bright ~

So far this weekend, I've been to two holiday parties.  One last night (food, drinks, dessert, and all my neighbors) and one this afternoon (cookie baking/decorating, hot tea, and a bunch of my friends).

And remember!  You don't have to have a crowd to have a party - small dance parties are the best, anyway!

~ mint condition ~

Today I took my new Gap skirt out for a test drive.  I love it!  The last one, in my size, and on sale.  Score!

After running errands, returning last semester's textbooks, and mailing some packages, I picked up some goodies from one of my favorite local shops: The Other Side Vintage.

{super excited to wear my new 1960s two-piece skirt/top, and vintage sweater!}

I finished the day with hot tea and chinese food.  

Definitely a good monday!
