Cardigans are all the rage this season, and I found this one at MTS (my thrift store) for just $3. I’m loving the long sleeves. I don’t know why, but that is something that always makes a long sleeved shirt just that much better.
Tunic/Dress: Vintage Saks. {MTS} Seen here with boots. Free!
Pants: Express. {MTS} $3
Shoes: Mia {Endless.com} $40
Necklace: Can’t remember for the life of me!

Ugh, I was so sick all weekend. At first I was sure it was the swine flu and I began to ponder just how wrong it would that my fabulous life was about to end by something called Swine Flu. It just didn’t seem right.
And then Jimmy suggested I go with him to the mall to get my new computer, and even though I was on my death bed, I took one for the team and headed out. I didn’t even put mascara on. I was that sick.
And then something miraculous happened. At the Mac store, I began to feel better. So I went to Forever 21, and I felt even better! So, I took my chances and decided to test Charlotte Russe. And what do you know? I just about felt like a normal person again.
Two statement rings, one nail polish, and a pair of leggings later I began to believe that just maybe it wasn’t quite yet the end of my life.
And then we got back into the car, and as I put my seatbelt on, my skin started to hurt, my bones began to ache, and all I wanted, once again, was my warm and cozy bed.
Thankfully the kids were gone for the weekend, and as much as shopping can heal, apparently so does sleep. Because when I woke up at 9 the next morning, all symptoms of death were gone, and I felt normal once again.
Only….now that the kids are back….it’s weird. I ache once again. Hmmm…something’s weird about this.
Might that mean I should always put the kids in childcare and spend my days shopping?
I’ll get back to you on that.
Enjoy your Monday peeps!

Seriously….maybe you are allergic to the kids. It could happen.
PS I need to go to your thrift store. I’m absolutely in love with it and I may never have the joy of shopping there. It saddens me.
I covet your thrift store. I think to find things like tha you have to live in an area where fashionable people get rid of their clothes. Here in RI I find nothing good ever at the thrift store. :o(
I think you’re on to something there Miss. Hope you feel better!!
Glad you’re feeling bette. 🙂
I can’t wait until I’m skinny again. Hubby’s gonna need a second job to make his wife look good agian. 🙂

Love the tunic/dress! Funny post – I can see the headlines now: “No need for Flu Shot – Just do some shopping – fight the flu and help the economy!”
The mall cures all!

You look adorable and trendy as usual- I swear if I wore that outfit I would look like an idiot.
You just have “It”.
That’s a whole new definition of retail therapy. Bahahahahaha.
I hope you feel OK now!
Forget the chicken soup for when you’re sick. Replace with shopping 🙂
Shopping always makes me feel better. Even if just for a few minutes! 🙂
Hmm…I’ve heard of selective hearing. But selective illness? That’s a new one to me.
Who doesn’t feel better when shopping?! At least you have an alternative to popping some pain killers.
I had a serious brain fart last Fashion Friday and didn’t know what to wear. Can’t believe how amazing you look always!
