.: odd summer :.

What a weird weather here in SoCal. It's overcast, rainy and humid. I got fooled yesterday, looking at the gray sky and thinking it might be cold. Oh wishful thinking... I found this pair of jeans at the clearance section in Nordstrom Rack. Petite sz 32/12, for $39. Gotta love the Rack. It's still a tad too long for me, so I will need to alter it. I'm starting to love jeans & pants now :)

.: And the Oscar goes to... :.

Someday someone may ask me what I'm wearing and I will shout out a major designer name. But that day is just a fantasy and in reality here's what I'm wearing for Oscar-watching dinner. I haven't worn a pair of jeans for 2 years because it only leads to heartbreak. I finally found a good pair on sale at the ever-so-reliable American Eagle and learning to love jeans again.
I got the fun Oscar ballot from Jessica Jones' blog. She's been so sweet and sharing the ballots for a couple of years now.

.: dots :.

They said full-figured gals are not supposed to wear polka dots. They said silky dress will clung to your body and highlights your flaws. I said throw a denim jacket over silky polka dots dress and be done with it.

.: Here's to the 90s! :.

I got pretty excited when I found the 'perfect' denim jacket *because everything I found was either studded to death and cropped like mad* and was telling my friend all about it when she cut me off and said, "Ew, I can't believe you bought that! It's so 1990! I threw mine away a long time ago! Why did you buy something that is so out of fashion?" Obviously said friend have never even heard the magical place on the internet that is Pinterest. So here's to the 90s and whoever lucky enough to find the 'perfect' denim jacket!
