I wanted to wear my 1950's dress in dusty rose and champagne for Easter but since I didn't do anything fancy, there was relatively no point in doing so. Therefore this newly-purchased jumper with my gift certificate was the perfect choice. I tried on the jumper at least four times in the dressing room after stalking it online for months, trying to convince myself that so much money spent on something so impractical is ridiculous. I ended up walking out with it since merely putting it on makes me happy. Tim hates my "granny sweater" but he knew I was going to end up with it even before he watched me put it on the cashier counter, whispering to him "...don't judge." 
As my very last semester as an undergraduate nears (more school ahead!), it seems so very frightening to tie up loose ends. I am glad that some things will stay the same for just a little while longer; I will be paid to continue research at my lab for at least this summer. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that in addition to the university salary, I will get the $5,000 funding for 10 weeks of research as well!

  4. I've been oggling this jumper for ages. The $90 pricetag is something I can't justify for something I can't wear a lot. But it looks nice on you, love the colours.

  5. Gazel: BuyWithMe had a deal of $100 gift certificate for $50 for AA...and Jenny tweeted that there was a coupon code that made it $35 for $100. That's how I got this jumper!

  14. So you are going to grad school--are you staying at UT? I think it's harder than ever to make these decisions right now. Just go with the flow, I guess.

    I'm leaning towards another type of post-college education but not 100% sure yet so I don't want to break the news... :)

  36. Not only did you mix it up, you
    MIXED
    IT
    UP.

    I love the sweetness of this outfit is only outshined by the daring/bold mix of textures of the crochet and 3D mesh of the jumper. I have toyed with the idea of getting one of my own... but my every day budget begs me not to.

    I'll have to get cheap ass pieces from Causeway Mall instead.
