H’ween Gift and Outfit Chatter

Received a cute Halloween care package! Daiso love! Black cat hat & pail, hair tie, and bean bag owl plus an ANAP catalog~ AND she sent me TWO boxes of the cookies I had bought when visiting a supermarket in Saitama Prefecture COUNTRY MA’AM! This is a set of the 3 “Best Hits” with Strawberry Cheesecake flavor, Vanilla, and Darjeeling (tea) flavor! DARJEELING IS THE BEST! I can’t even describe how strange & amazing it tastes!

Been busy the past few evenings. I feel REALLY tired too. The other night I shut my eyes to sleep & when I opened them at 6:00am it felt like I had only blinked!! Horrible feeling D: But at least work was fun Friday. Had a meeting that went well & there was a surprise party for my boss in the afternoon with double cakes.

I ran to h&m the other day to grab a gray knit poncho. I liked the large turtleneck & cabling because it reminds me a little of this EMODA piece~

I said a little!! LOL , OK, so it’s barely the same but I still wanted it It’s sorta a cheat too. I can just throw it on with some jeans or khaki’s, slick back my hair into a ponytail, slap on some boots and still look “presentable” in as little as 5 minutes. The 5 minute situation happens more often than I’d like. So lately I’ve been buying pieces that are cut a bit more interestingly but that can still be thrown on quickly, even when braless (whoops, tmi? ) and not look like a woman who’s given up on herself (lol, dnw~).

I got this really long button up ruffle blouse while at H&M too! Was on clearance for $10

For example I really love this wide dolman sleeved button up pairing with this light gray dolman (again) sleeved long cardigan. The cardigan has varying knit patterns too so it’s not so boring. Throw on black heels, boots, or oxfords (last year I had like 1 pair of black shoes! Lol) and I’m good to go.

From Forever 21 but I couldn’t find it on the website

From Yesstyle but gray is now sold out (sorry!)

A t-shirt & jeans situation without the t-shirt & jeans. You know, it’s cool with me to wear tee & jeans in summer when it’s 90 degrees out but now that it’s 50~70F I want to put more effort into it.

I’m just trying to be smarter about purchases. I have, in the past, purchased things I’ve hardly worn. Either it only matches with 1 thing or it just didn’t get rotated into the mix often enough. Anyway. So blah. Boring talk but it’s been on my mind as I shop a bit for this winter. I’m also going through a lot of stuff in my closet for my little sis. :haha: Some of it I think she’ll just use more as a young college freshman compared to her older sis who, on a daily basis, has to dress more office appropriate than fun due to, well, work :p! She never acts excited in front of me about the clothes but my mom says she LOVES it and I do see her on facebook wearing them nonstop. Like this one dress I wore when I visited them 2 years ago. She seems to wear it a TON. I wonder if it’s because she’s actually seen me wear it = automatic cool points? Loooool. We don’t talk much because of the age difference. She’s kinda really shy around me. Or, well, more aloof. But I’m getting waaaaaay off point.

Not that I ever had a point I was making lol
