It is Friday!! I still get excited about Fridays out of habit, even though, in my current life, the distinction between weekday and weekend is mostly a philosophical one. Anywaaaay, Friday – yay! Let’s take a look at what’s tormenting my poor budget this week.

Cynthia Rowley Lei T-Shirt

Words cannot express how much I am crushing on this damn thing. It’s like … the Jon Snow of t-shirts.* (There is also a dress version, but it looks like the Accidental Flashing factor would be high with that one.) But … 175 American dollars for a t-shirt made in China?! Unless it comes hand-delivered by Kit Harington himself, no thanks.

* Even though I’m more of an Oberyn Martell/Petyr Baelish kind of girl, and Jon Snow is so the ultimate Mary Sue character, I just can’t quit that boy. Don’t judge me and my weakness for dark, curly-haired Brits. And outsiders with hearts of gold, and secret red-headed girlfriends. Or judge me. I revel in my basic bitch-ness.

Michael Kors Watch

I have a love/hate relationship with Michael Kors watches. I hate that every single woman here between the ages of 25 and 35 seems to wear one of them, but I genuinely love this particular version. I blame my current obsession with all things blue. Realistically, I know I shouldn’t even consider buying this; I own three watches and I wear none of them regularly, especially when I’m not at work. Buuuuuuut … maybe this could prove the exception? That perfect watch that doesn’t feel in-the-way when I’m wearing it?

There is also the cheaper Fossil version:

J. Crew Factory Peasant Blouse

Again with my need to have all. the. blue. things. On the other hand, how cute is this? So cute, right? The white embroidery is just right – it makes a visual impact, but doesn’t clobber you over the head with its twee-ness. It is totally going on my June shopping list.

Chanel Reflets d’Ete Polishes (Summer 2014)

It seems like forever since Chanel last released some new polishes … so, of course, we now get 5 at once. My self-imposed limit is 2 (because, hello, budget!), but I want at least 3 (pictured above). Ugh, decisions!

Have a great weekend!

What I Wore: Woeful Saturday

I wanted to call this “Professorial Boho” because, in my head, all professors wear tweed, all the time. It just comes with the territory, doesn’t it? (Along with elbow patches, tortoiseshell rim glasses, and black turtlenecks. It is known.) But I am willing to concede that this might not, in fact, be the case aaaaalways and rather than confuse you, I changed the title. Which is really neither here nor there. Ahem.

This was not the outfit I had in mind when I started getting dressed, but I really liked how it turned out. I’m a big fan of the cut of this J. Crew Factory blazer, which manages to fit my chest without making me look like a rectangular box. That’s nice, isn’t it? Of course, I ended up being over-dressed for the occasion (a Saturday morning outing with the family, which quickly turned into a tragi-comedy of mishaps and minor meltdowns – so, only slightly more woeful than a regular Saturday chez nous), but as I always say: when the going gets tough, the tough dress up like they have somewhere better to go.

Close-up shot!

I swear that sweater looked clean when I picked it off the closet floor, and I don’t recall doing an impromptu army crawl through a dust pit that day. Hmmm …
