both ends of the spectrum.

when it comes to finger nail polish, i'm sort of an extremist. i either rock black nails or barely there nudes. i have strayed a bit by including shades of gray and some super dark browns. i do wear brighter color on my toes, but for some reason, i just like a clean hand. i recently bought sally hansen's complete salon manicure in shell we dance. it's supposed to have all five steps in one bottle - base coat, strengthener, growth treatment, color, and topcoat. at two coats it's just enough color to cover the natural nail with a slight pink tone, although three coats would be best. it's supposed to have a top coat, but the finished result was a little flat and i'll probably add a clear gloss on top of that. best part about this is the brush. it covers my nail in one sweep, and it's rounded...which makes sense.

time killer.

i had a few hours to kill on saturday, so i browsed around the neighborhood shopping center and ended up in the only clothing store there. at first glance i saw mostly the usual stuff and just went thru the motions of browsing. after realizing i made my first round of the store in five minutes with two more hours to wait, i decided to make another round. i ended up leaving with a few interesting pieces that i'm excited to try out, and a few basic staples like these. this sweater is so soft and light, plus it has the uneven hem...great for covering body cons like this skirt. luckily, the skirt was a hair too big making it comfortable and not too body conscious.

big hearted.

just a couple looks with this super. duper. over. sized. tee.

if i had skin tight leather pants or even liquid leggings, i'd wear them with this big tee. but i don't, so this faux leather mini skirt was my next option. i just knew i wanted something leatherish and small to balance the big on top.

on the flip side, i went big-big with the oversized tee and oversized throw over denim cut-offs.
