I’ve been wearing my new boots almost everyday recently and this day, I decided to pair them with my black ruffled skirt for an all-over western vibe. I wore this teal dress underneath the skirt so that it looks like a top because I think that as a dress it has a really unflattering fit on me. Also, I just had to wear these star-print tights because the color of the stars matches the top exactly. Finally, to finish off the outfit and hold up the skirt because it is one size too big, I added this wide stretch black belt. I felt like I was in middle school again learning how to line dance during PE, hence the following pose. Did any of you guys learn line dancing or square dancing when you were little?

I had a pretty nice weekend- Friday involved falling into a food coma after stuffing myself with delicious Indian food. Then Saturday, I went out to dinner again, as a mini-reunion for the people I lived with in Spain this past summer. It was so great to see them again and catch-up about our lives. Then yesterday, I attended a lovely superbowl party with most of my friends, drank some delicious Riesling, then went to a dance party! All in all, a really good time! :) Tell me about your weekend? Did the team you were rooting for win yesterday?
P.S. If you haven’t already, give me a little hello on twitter! I’d love to hear from you :)
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

Thank you so much LizAnn! :)

Thanks Ashley! Yeah, I didn't want to look toooo country, but a little bit is okay :) Haha, my weekend was a bit too eventful because I was not productive at all in terms of school! I need to be working more as well, saving up money for Vegas!
Thank you very much! :)
Thanks Rosie! Haha, I don't think I was good at line dancing either, but it was fun! :)
Thank you very much Josie! :D
nice dress :)
thank you for visiting and comment, you have a nice blog!
I love this! I like the color palette you used along with the shapes. It keeps it from being overwhelmingly country-ish. I love those tights, too! I remember our teacher talking about line dancing in middle school PE, but I think we must have ran out of time for that lesson, because we never learned it! Just as well!
Your weekend sounds really interesting! Way more eventful than mine. I worked, worked some more, and blogged. I'm awesome, aren't I?
Thights and boots are really nice

I had a pretty low key weekend, just hanging with the friends!
Yes you do look like you are ready to line dance! We had something called mass dance which everyone in the school did synchronized dance moves but never line dancing. It would have been fun though.
i LOVE indian food!! and your tights and your ballerina pose <3
