map it!

Agggh, sorry for the late return! I completely lost track of time this weekend and, well, didn't get around to writing up the Trendwatch Saturday post or anything. Is it just me or did this weekend seem supremely short? I felt like my head hit the pillow Friday night and when I woke up, it was already Monday morning again. AHHH. That's like horror movie stuff right there!

Coming to a theater near you... THE MONDAY THAT WOULDN'T DIE!

Awful. But, there is good news! For me, anyways, haha... I trekked over to J.Crew and Anthropologie this weekend and scored two fabulous things, both of which I'm wearing!

stone tee, j.crew
cartography cardigan, anthropologie [x]
ankle stretch toothpick twill jean, j.crew [x]
'new hope' nest ring, etsy seller yakarina [x]
liv flats, j.crew

Can you guess what's new? It's the pants and the cardigan! I had tried on all the various "Minnies" at J.Crew before I decided to try on the twill jeans. The Minnies just didn't work on me because of the side/back/diagonal/zig-zag/cosine-shaped zippers (okay, the last 3 were made up) which gave me a weird v-crotch. Not a fan of the v-crotch. But the twill jeans feel amazing and were just what I was looking for! They ran small on me, though, so I had to size up -- get this -- 2 sizes. But the end fit is perfection! The "ankle" length fits like regular pants on me too, which means no tailoring! Woo hoo!

I tried on the cardigan at Anthro and reluctantly (very reluctantly) decided to wait for my birthday coupon to come in the mail before buying it. But then Boyfriend decided to get it for me! Hooray! And not even as a birthday gift, but just because. How sweet is that?! The cardigan is seriously sweet. The map print is perfect and I can see it working with a lot of things. I'd say it fits TTS, though I didn't button it. You'll see me wearing this a lot more often, readers.

So, I'll be catching up on blogs now! Ta-ta!
