The weekender


One of my best friends from college came to stay with me at the beginning of the week and we decided to head into Providence, RI, which can be a very fun city to go shopping in.  They have some good stores and it is not super expensive.  I hadn't been in an Urban Outfitters in quite some time and I generally shy away from there simply because I find many of their items to be overpriced.  Five minutes into looking around, however, I spotted this bag.  I. had. to. have. it.  No questions asked.  It wasn't terribly expensive and I knew that it would be the perfect carry-on bag for our trip.  So here it is, with a tunic that I also picked up there off of the clearance rack.  I think that this may be another example of a dress that just isn't a dress on me.  With a pair of leggings, however, even the shortest dress can be made somewhat modest.  But who cares?  Everyone is just going to be looking at the bag anyways...











I couldn't resist the green manicure for Ireland...


Damien got me this wooden polaroid necklace a few years ago...

  2. Love the bag and the tunic/dress. Although I'm 5'1" and rarely have an issue of things being too short on me I love to put leggings under a dress, then I feel like I can sit however I want and still be modest.
