Did you guys have a nice weekend? I certainly could have spent my weekend more productively, but I did have a good time with friends, as well as applied to a couple more jobs. As graduation gets closer and closer, I get more and more nervous about finding a job! But really, what I want right now is for this weather to make up its mind so that spring can come and stay!

| cardigan, skirt, shoes- forever 21, tee- charlotte russe, tights- target |
Since the warmer weather is not cooperating here, I had to wear tights with this outfit. I got this t-shirt with the pearly neckline on sale at Charlotte Russe for $10 and I absolutely love it! It gives the outfit a dressy feel and matches perfectly with my earrings. Also, this skirt was a steal at Forever 21 for $6.80 and because of the waistband, I can easily fold it and wear it at different lengths.
Also, I ordered some things earlier in the week and these packages should be arriving tomorrow so I am quite excited! No more shopping for a little while though as I need to earn back all the moola that I spent over spring break! Has anybody else been doing some online shopping recently? If so, what did you buy?
![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.]

Aww, that's so sweet of you to say, thank you! Yes, I totally do the same thing- look online then buy in store, or go back online if they don't have it in store! I love shopping way too much! haha :D
Thank you so much Rosy! I usually tend toward dark colors, but every once in a while I want to wear something bright =)
I remember reading about your very strict dress code- so sad that you can't wear your tee to work! Ooo, new clothes- I'm off to check out your purchases right now! :)
The drees is so cute.
New rings? oh yeah! I would be exited too!
See you :)

Thanks for commenting on my blog:) I looooooooooooove this outfit! I love the brightness of it too! And I'm pretty much gaga over texture tights:)
I really love the beading on top, and the tights are awesome on you. Good luck in your job search!

I have a tee very similar to that but since we're not allowed to wear jewelry to work, I'm afraid that will constitute as a necklace and it'll be banned! It's so pretty though! I really love that skirt too.
I've bought a few things from Forever 21 online recently, I'm wearing one of those purchases today!

Thank you very much Sabine! :)
Thanks!! :) What kind of jobs are you looking for?
Thank you very much Krystal! :D
Thank you! Yes, I think this tee looks more expensive that it really is! :)
Love the high-waisted skirt. It's really pretty with the t-shirt.
Re cable-knit… I learned that a knitting machine can only do a 'fake cable' (like this: http://psynopsis-english.blogspot.com/2011/02/ballerina-infected-knitwork.html), whereas you did a 'real cable knit'.

What great prices, I need to have some luck finding great finds as you have ;)

thanks for the comment + cute outfit :) xo
I spent my weekend reorganizing my room at my parents' house so it's actually a nice place to be. The comings and goings of college plus upgrading to a queen from a twin had left it in a state of total spatial inefficiency and neatly grouped clutter. So much better now!
I looooove your pearl tee (it's so fun to say that, too!). What an awesome way to jazz up a nice basic like that.
I love versatile skirts like that! Really cute shirt!
