getting my mad men on. kind of.

Blogger has a new set-up and it's freaking me out, you guys. I DON'T LIKE CHANGE.

hold me.

Anyhoodle, since work has been kicking my tail this week so that all I want to do when I get home is avoid the computer like the plague, posting has been nigh impossible. Luckily, I finished my lunch a little early today so I can finally hunker down and update this sucker.

Remember all the hoopla that was surrounding the Mad Men collection at Banana Republic? Well, a few weekends ago, I went on over to my BR and snagged this fun little pencil skirt from the collection with an extra 30% off. Not bad!

shirt, j.crew
cardigan, j.crew
skirt, banana republic
belt, j.crew
shoes, steve madden
bangle, kate spade



Excuse the stomach pooch there. I was feeling especially bloated the day this picture was taken. I promise I didn't just buy the skirt in a too-small size. 

Also, excuse the box in the background. It was a remnant from the bar I told you all about in the last post. And the balloons, which are a remnant from Boyfriend's birthday bash. You know what, just excuse everything.

    K, so I have been having a supremely awful week, and just reading the first two lines of your post made me burst into peals of laughter.

    :) I love that pencil skirt! I've tried it on in stores, and now I'm just playing the waiting game for a good BR promotion. I know that the skirt is fully lined, but I thought it was a little itchy... thoughts on that?

    I really love the pencil skirt! And at 30% off, I guess its time for me to scan for some deals at Banana Republic! And I can't figure out which I adore more the nails or the gingham shirt!

    You look fantastic! That looks like a great tweed!

    I didn't like the new blogger layout and am sticking with the old...

    Love the skirt! The orange belt is such a fabulous pop of color, too.

    And I agree with Tara...thanks for the chuckle!

    caffeinerd -- Aww, thanks girl!

    Tara B -- Oh, I'm so glad to hear that! :D

    Jane -- Yeah, I found the waistband a little itchy as well, but as I wore it, it wasn't itchy anymore? It wasn't itchy anywhere else, though.

    Michelle -- Aww, thanks! And don't worry, you'll get it! Have you tried it belted with a closed cardigan?

    Anon -- Thanks! My little cousin (who's not so little anymore) made that blanket for me a few years ago. :)

    fshnonmymind -- Haha, thanks!

    Jenni -- Who doesn't love an orange belt? ;)

    Anne -- Awww, thanks! I'm glad that you find me somewhat humorous, haha!

    Tabitha -- I admit that I've never watched it. I'm afraid I'll get sucked in....

    dotty -- Yay! We're skirt twins!

    Pamela -- Aww, thanks!

    Jenn -- Haha! The nails are "For Audrey" by China Glaze if you're interested!

    eek -- I think I'm going to switch back to the old one too... the new one freaks me out!

    Dana -- Thanks! That wall was actually empty for a long, long time before I decided to finally fill it with prints. :)

    modernmom -- Aww, thanks for the warm welcome!

    JewishGirlBlog -- You're welcome! ^^
