awkward & awesome thursday - v.2

{Top: Express, Skirt: the Limited, Shoes: Gianni Bini}

Happy St. Pattie's Day to everyone, I am not wearing green in the above photo, {it was actually taken on Sunday!} I am a little behind on my posts.

I fell in love with this skirt when I was at the Limited a few weeks ago, the girls were actually setting up the display when I saw it on the merchandising rack. As much as I wanted it, I thought that it wouldn't be a wise purchase since its such a bold color. Then I read this post by one of my favorite bloggers, J's Everyday Fashion and was motivated to go back and try to find the skirt again.

Luckily it was on sale this time, so I not only was I able to find it in "my size" but I saved a little bit by waiting. Now... as you can see I put handy-dandy quotation marks around the words my size because I typically wear a size zero, but this skirt looks a little big on me and the other day, while in the Gap, I tried on jeans and had to go to a 00... NOW WAY! What is up with sizes being so much bigger this season. I want TRUE to size fit!

Mkay... enough complaining... on to the good stuff, Awkward and Awesome Thursday!!

Awkward

• Last Friday night I had the worst stomach ache that literally immobilized me... turns out it was most likely a "air bubble" - yes I just admitted that.
• I woke up on Sunday with what felt like a bruise on my cheek, only to get out of bed to brush my teeth and see the biggest zit ever! Thank you mud mask! That sucker got zapped.
• Vehicle maintenance - yuck, that money could have bought shoes!

Awesome
