Puzzling over.

Can't seem to stop wearing these jeans, they're just so comfortable! I've been meaning to wear this top. I bought it a few weeks ago at a store that was practically giving stuff away because they were closing. I'm not realy into big patterns, but i fell in love with this one. And the fact that it was black and white made it even cooler.

Don't you love it when you find stuff that you really like at a really low price? Sometimes i don't mind paying full price for clothes, but only as long as they're worth it. In some case, they don't, so i have to wait until they go on sale to buy them. The good thing about bargains is that you're not looking for them, they happen to be there waiting to be bought. Like today, Pat and i went to this store that still had some stuff on sale from the summer season. He ended up getting a pair of jeans and two tees for less than what a pair of this season's jeans cost.

It's Thursday! YAY! For some reason i love Thursdays more than Fridays. The feeling that the week is about to be over is definitely something to feel good about. And keeping the good news coming, i don´t have school tomorrow! 

Are you planning anything exciting for the weekend?

A veces uno va a comprar ropa con algo específico en mente. Otras veces pasea por los locales para ver si hay algo que le guste. Uno de los sentimientos más copados, creo que tiene que ver con encontrar cosas que a uno le gustan, en lugares inesperados y a precios inesperados. No por rata, pero si porque creo que a veces las cosas no valen lo que valen. 

Esta blusa la encontre en un local que tenía todo super rebajado porque cerraba en unas semanas. Entré para chusmear, y salí con tres prendas y una sonrisa en la cara.

Splash.

I was feeling pretty lousy yesterday because i had a rough day at school, so today i thought that incorporating a punch of color to my outfit would make me feel better. Guess what? It did! 

I've had this jacket for a year or so, and this is the first time wearing it. I was kind of unsure about the color, but i'm glad i gave it a chance, it's a really fun color. Remember the cute plaid shirt one of my brothers got me for my birthday? Well, i ended up exchanging it for these jeans. They look an awful lot to my BGDs, but they're one of the most comfortable skinny jeans i've tried on, hands down.

My class was cancelled today, so Pat and i went to have breakfast and work on some projects we've got going on. I looooove big coffees!

I'm feeling kind of guilty for my lack of posting. This next few weeks are gonna be crazy, i'm gonna be really busy with school and other stuff, but i'll try to post whenever i get the chance. Having a place to come and relax for a bit, it's awesome :)

Ayer fue un día pésimo. De esos que la pasas mal y queres volver a tu casa y dormir todo el resto del día. Y así lo hice. Dormí hasta las 8; comí y a la 1 ya estaba de nuevo en la cama; hoy amanecí mucho mejor. Obvio que no tener clases y poder irte a tu casa antes, siempre ayuda.

27th.

Remember that i went shopping a couple of weeks ago? This dress is one of the things i bought, and i couldn't wait to wear it. I was gonna buy it in black, but then i thought that the majority of my dresses are black, so why not try incorporating some color. It's crazy that i was able to leave the house wearing anything but what you can see on the pictures... the temperature reached the 82F degrees today, crazy!

Hope you can see it on the close-up pic, but the fabric is super shiny and it almost feels like it's been treated with wax. I highly doubt it was actually waxed, but at least it looks like it.

Daily rant: i hate busy weeks. They make you feel like you don't have enough time to do everything you have to do. It's important to be able to stop at some point, take a deep breath (and deserved break), and recover your energy to keep on going.

I also wanted to wish a wonderful 22nd birthday to my girl Icee from The Shapes of Things. Hope you had a great day, you deserve it :)

PS. For the ones who were asking about the dress' fabric, the tag says it's 100% cotton ;)

Nunca tuve prejuicios contra ciertas marcas. Puedo entrar a cualquier local e irme bastante contenta si encontré algo que me gustaba. Así pasa que no discrimino locales y cuando salgo, entro a casi todos los que cruzo en mi camino.

Me pasó el otro día cuando salí de una casa dirigida más a un público tween, de la que salí totalmente feliz con este vestidito. Estaba por comprarlo en negro, pero cuando me di cuenta que la mayoría de mis vestidos son negros, elegí probar con algo de color. 

City tour.

I'm gonna admit it, this week i didn't wear anything 'exciting'. So having all your extremely sweet comments, made my days. This is me on busy a day/week; comfortable, simple, functional, practical outfits. So i hope i'm not boring anyone here! 

Since today's outfit wasn't anything fancy, Pat decided to take the pics on different locations. He's to blame for the picture overload people! ;) If it wasn't for him, i wouldn't have any pictures, so thank you Pat. I posted his outfit too (second time this week...) as a way to saying 'thank you'.

I overslept like half an hour this morning, so i had to get dressed in like ten minutes. Jeans? Check. White tee? Check. Cardigan? Check. Comfortable sneakers? Check. Did i say that it was freezing cold when i left my house? Oh, luckily i had picked the perfect and coziest knit.

Today's lunch: quick stop at Starbucks.

BDG jeans; Gap long-sleve tee; Abercrombie & Fitch cardigan; Vans shoes. 

Early call.

Not too much to say about today's outfit. I tried to keep it really simple because i had to wake up extra early to finish some school stuff that was due today.

This picture has been on my computer for a long time, and i always loved how simple yet cool she looked. Guess that she served as inspiration today since i was over than half asleep when my alarm rang at 5.30AM.

Luckily, tomorrow is Friday. I have a ton of things to do this weekend, but let's see if i finally learn how to manage time wisely.

Tener que levantarse temprano y coordinar lo que uno se va a poner mientras piensa en las mil cosas que no debe olvidarse antes de salir de la casa, es una tarea complicada. Sobre todo si ese 'temprano' se corre a más de una hora antes del horario al que uno suele despertarse.

La foto de esta chica la tengo guardada hace mil, era cuestión de tiempo que un día sirviera como inspiración.

Red ambition.

Funny fact about today's outfit: it happened to be color coordinated with Pat's. Before heading home, we stopped to take these. They deserved to be showcased  to the world :)

PS.I love these jeans, but i'm starting to have doubts about how good it looks on me :/

Post especial: Pat y yo, coordinados por color :)

Capetown.

It's finally cold(er)! When i woke up, it was freezing! At least for me. I've got to admit it took me a bit longer to get out of bed. But it seems like i'm gonna be able to flaunt my winter clothes.

I was really waiting for the weather to cool down so i could wear this coat/cape. I'm not really a big fan of red, but i fell in love with this coat as soon as i saw it. I never bought anything else than body lotions/underwear/loungewear from Victoria's Secret, but this coat deserved a chance.

I had a test today. I'm 99% there's not gonna be a happy ending there. The thing is that i have so many things to do, that there's not even time to feel bad about it; i have to get over it and move on. That's half bad and half good. On one hand, i can just let it go and worry about something else; but on the other, it feels like the process isn't complete. Ugh. I hate venting about school, so i'm gonna try to be quiet for now :)

Pat to the rescue! To lighten me up, he took me out for lunch. **Not trying to turn this into a food blog, but i'm really into food porn ;)

Club sandwich for him.

Mediterranean salad for me.

Cuando todo sale mal, tener alguien que te haga ver que las cosas siempre pueden mejorar es algo que no cambiaría por nada del mundo.

Day off.

Bought this top yesterday, among a few other things i can't wait to wear. It's so light, comfortable, and it has sort of a hippie vibe that's soft enough not to look like you came out of the '70s.

It must come across so weird that one day i'm wearing tights and long-sleeves and the next one i'm in shorts and a flowy top, but i'm not gonna try to understand weather... i just try to go with it.

Today Pat and i skipped school, but not to waste the day lounging around doing nothing productive. We got up early, had scrambled eggs and french toasts for breakfast; then we were ready to start working on some stuff for school. I even took a break to cook these tuna + tomato + cheese sandwiches for lunch. Days like today are my favorite days ever :)

A veces está bueno tomarse el día. No hace falta que sea viernes y saber que estás alargando tu fin de semana. Pero hoy nos levantamos con pocas ganas de seguir la rutina, y con más de aprovechar el día de una manera diferente. Sentir que tuve un buen día, como el de hoy, me hacen realmente feliz.  Y eso que recién son las 5 de la tarde.
