Oh you guys. It is so not my day. First of all, this wasn't my intended outfit for the day. You ever visualize an outfit in your head much better than when you go to put it on? Oh yeah, that happened. I had on an entirely different look this morning and realized with about five minutes to spare that it was so NOT going to work, so I threw this together rather hastily. First world problems, whomp whomp. This isn't even the thing that is really getting me down though.
I had bought the Pants Monkey an amazing Christmas gift before Thanksgiving even. It was a Living Social event, which we have done several of before, where we'd get to go on a trolley tour of several area breweries, finishing up with dinner at Pizza Luce. It appeared to be a pretty popular deal as I saw it sold out very quickly. But I guess shame on me, I should have been prepared that sometimes things don't work out, because yesterday I got an email from Living Social stating "we regret to inform you that this event has to be cancelled. You will be refunded your entire amount." Um, crap!!!
Floral shirt - Decree, JCPenney
Sweater - Aeropostale (old)
Jeans - Maurices
Necklace and shoes - thrifted
Earrings - swap with CC
So now with 11 days until Christmas, I suddenly have more shopping to do. I do have an idea for a partial replacement, so that's a good thing I guess, but I'm still really depressed that this happened. This is my one time of year to really spoil my Pants Monkey. He works hard at a job he really doesn't love, he participates in our music group even though it isn't always his favorite thing to do, he cooks us so many yummy meals during the year and he is the best husband ever so he deserves the best gift. So, I'm not just a sad panda, I'm a sad elf. And it's going to be crappy weather this weekend now, so shopping isn't going to be easy. But it will happen. I will prevail!
Then as soon as I got to work this morning, I spilled my coffee. So the pictures today aren't my best effort, but you do what you can when the universe is telling you to go back to bed!
I hope you all have a great weekend and I promise, come Monday I'll be a much happier Bethie!!
