so close to the weekend that I can taste it

Oooh it is so close to the weekend! I can't tell you how relieved I am that tomorrow is Friday. FRIDAY! You know what that means? Drinks, no gym, and sleeping in the next day. That sounds glorious to me.

This was my first time wearing this dress, which I found last month, tucked away in one of those huge messy piles that Forever 21 seems to believe is an apt method of organizing merchandise. I was originally worried that I wouldn't be able to transition it into my fall wardrobe, but tights and a jacket did the trick. I actually kind of prefer it this way - without the tights, the dress looks a bit too twee. And the fact that I look like I'm still 13 years old doesn't help that, either.

Thanks for the input on the dresses from the last post! Unfortunately, the Lulus dress is now sold out in my size (grrrr...), so I plan to visit Anthropologie this weekend to scope out the Monochromatic dress, and I already ordered the Modcloth peplum one. I waste no time!

And I forgot to add this when I first wrote this post, but the wonderful Pamela over at Ginger Girl gave me this:

The rules are:

1) Thank the person who gave this to me: Thanks Pamela! I've only been blogging for a little while and it makes me happy that you thought of giving this to me!

2) Copy the Logo and place it your blog: Done.

3) Link the person who nominated you: visit Pamela at Ginger Girl!

4) Name 7 things about yourself that no one would really know: See below.

5) Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers: See below the other see below.

6) Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate: See above. (confused yet?)

7) Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know you nominated them: Soon to be completed!

Now, the 7 Things You Probably Don't Know About Me:

1. I am obsessed with all things "old." I have a collection of vinyl records (record player included), I still write snail mail letters, I love Frank Sinatra and Bobby Darin, and I hope to own a great big inconvenient typewriter one day.

2. When I was little, I wanted to be a whale trainer.

3. But now I'm in my 20s, and I still can't swim. So there goes that ambition.

4. I have two tattoos: one on my forearm that you can see in most of my photos (I'll post on that some other time), and one on my back by my left shoulder. That one is rarely seen just because of its location. It's of an Andy Warhol painting of two koi kites, which I got done when I was a mere 18 years old.

5. I can't stand the sound of crinkling cellophane, so whenever I get something that's wrapped in it, I need someone else to go into another room and unwrap it for me.

And I nominate...

1. Sharon from Sharon Loves This
2. Rosemary from Booking it Bus Style
3. Goldenmeans from Goldenmeans
4. Marisa from According to Moi
5. Tastymoog from Commonwealth Girl
6. OneFashionistaDiva from Once Upon a Fashionista
7. Summerilla from Sum Sunshine

I know a lot of the people on my blogroll have been deservedly nominated before, so I tried to give this to the wonderful people who haven't. Thanks for the great reads and keeping me sane at work!
