I am SO excited about the dress I am wearing today guys. I bought this at the Tandem Vintage sale and fell in love right away - it's polka dots! Freaking polka dots! And here is the other thing I love, I had been eyeballing a very similarly inspired dress on Shabby Apple for quite some time - this one I got for less than I would have there and it's ACTUAL vintage. And I could not help myself but add the knee highs and Mary Jane styled shoes today. Maybe it's too twee, but I don't care. It's the look I wanted to rock today and leads into my next subject a little bit. Guilty pleasures.

I was watching a recent episode of Glee (yes I said Glee - that would be guilty pleasure number one right here) and they did a whole "guilty pleasures" theme. I laughed with the Pants Monkey that Glee itself is a guilty pleasure, but then I started thinking about some of my other guilty pleasures and I thought, you know what, this would be kind of a fun blog post. And then ironically, Lori blogged about this very subject yesterday as well - so I thought, all right, I'm going to do it!
So, in addition to my Glee watching and wearing of knee high socks, here are a few other guilty pleasures:
1. I love cherry flavored Jolly Ranchers more than any of the other flavors. To the point that I dig through the bulk Jolly Rancher bin at the grocery store and dig out a bags worth of just cherry ones. The clerks never question it!
2. I am an indie girl when it comes to music, but I can't help but love me some pop music - LMFAO, Rhianna, Kelly Clarkson, Pink, even Nicki Minaj - I like to listen to them when I work out, they are much more motivating than Arcade Fire is, just saying.
3. You all know I'm way into craft beer and I would say my other drink choices really are usually quite "man-like" as I also love a good glass of scotch and I go towards drier, less sweet wines - but every now and then I really want a hard apple cider, a Leinenkugel Summer Shandy or a Mike's Hard Black Cherry Lemonade.
4. Reality Shows. Yeah, I know a lot of you are guilty of this too, but I get sucked in to some really silly ones like Amish Mafia (I still don't believe this show was real) and that stupid Splashed show on ABC.
5. Hooded sweatshirts. I love getting all dressed up for work every day, but some days I can't wait to get home and put on my nice cuddly hoodie.
Well there. I feel better now! What are some of your guilty pleasures?
