The best part about Valentine's Day?

Target sweater, necklace and shoes; Pacsun jeans; Thrifted purse.

Chocolate is going to be on sale Tuesday, people.

So I had this whole post typed out how hard the past few weeks have been, how school and work are overwhelming me, and how on top of everything else, I'm single this Valentine's Day.

But then I deleted it. Because as much as I like complaining and moping around...I have better things to do. And I'm sure you have things that you'd rather hear about. Happier things. Also, I love this blog, and I've missed it and you all. I'm still figuring out my priorities, but I'm gonna try real hard to squeeze some kind of regular blogging into my schedule.

So anyway, onto the outfit. These shoes are about a half-size too small but I love them anyway. Also, this sweater is the same that I wore here and here, just in a different color. I have a bad habit of buying multiples like that, but they were only $4!

Oh, and I kind of gave up on the shopping ban for February. I'm calling it therapy though, so hopefully you guys are supportive. I just discovered the Savers in my town, and I'm obsessed. Expect a post soon showing my recent hauls.

Finally, a big thank you to those of you who told me through comments, twitter, and formspring that I was missed. You guys are the best.

  5. You ARE missed! Hope all is well, and shopping therapy is the best. You better show us everything you get! :)

    $4 sweaters are awesome. Even more awesome is that they don't look like $4.

    Love the outfit! That teal looks great on you.

  7. My favorite thing about Valentine's Day is that once it is done I can buy Easter candy.
