Do they only serve breakfast at this McDonald's?

Happy belated birthday to my friend Ainhoa (pronounced I-Know-Uh, she's the one who found me the great deal on the pants in the last post). It was her birthday this past weekend and we celebrated by dressing up, eating sushi, and going out to the bar. Loved the shoes that she wore that night (I helped her find them!! If you know her, this is a very big deal..) - they are by Shoemint and style is called the Jolly. She looked adorable in her red and white sheer polka dot blouse. I wanted to put ears on her and call her Minnie.

I ended up wearing a 90s looking turtleneck, black, sleeveless body con dress that I got from American Apparel. I posted the cropped version over the summer which you'll most likely be seeing on my Ebay soon because frankly, I love the dress version a whole lot more. I added a tiny bit of color to my all black outfit with Tarte Lip Stain in Amused which is a nice bright pink lip stain that doesn't dry your lips out.. one of my favorite make up products ever (this is saying a lot because I don't usually wear makeup).

I can't be the first woman who's ashamed to be with you.

My friend texted me a photo of these jeans last weekend while she was at Marshall's telling me they were my size and meant for me. I specifically went this weekend to find this pair of jeans in hopes that they were still there for me to try on (I figured what are the chances people bought a metallic pair of snake printed denim leggings..).. but after searching a while, I thought someone had snagged them. It must have been kismet because eventually I found them and tried them on.. and they did fit quite well. What sealed the deal was they were only $59.99 (which my friend pointed out to me originally), and I found them on Shopbop.com where their original price is $242! They'll be a good going out casually pair of pants to throw on.. or if I'm daring, I'll just wear them casually in the day time.
