It wasn't as cool today as yesterday, but I still didn't feel like wearing shorts. For one thing, I desperately need to do laundry. I was sort of in a quandary about what to wear because I knew I was going to go to Nordstrom to buy a specific item and wanted something that would be easy on/off, hence the jeggings. Also they were clean, haha.
What I actually went to buy was...Bridget Jones worthy truly huge knickers. AKA Spanx. I have a taste for the old hot pants and bodycon cotton-spandex dresses and lately I've just been feeling like I could use a little extra shaping/support under them for my stomach. I have a bit of an awkward build where my stomach sort of drops off like a ledge. Add to that I gain weight in my stomach (WHY?!) and it's a whole world of needs Spanx/not-so-much, especially when I'm feeling bloated or just rundown. So we'll see how these pants work out
Do you guys like these shoe detail shots? I love these shoes. I got them at Nordstrom Rack on an insane discount that was something like 90% off. I think they were, like, $28. You can see another picture of them here.

I just got over being terribly sick for about a week. Last Wednesday it started out as a tickle in the back of my throat and by Saturday night I was in the ER at 2am with fever blisters on my lip and gums, swollen tonsils, a fever of 103, chills, and my whole body ached. It sucked! My doc thinks I had a strain of mono and I feel much better now. Hang in there, you'll be okay!!!
Btw, I really like those jeggings :)
I said on your blog, but I'm glad you're feeling better, Brianna! That sounds super scary. I was insanely sick in mid-April with a fever for, like, a week and basically lived on Poweraid. NEVER AGAIN.
The jeggings were an impulse buy last summer. $20!!! But i wear them all the time. And I never thought I'd be into acid wash! If I had smaller thighs, I might rip them at the knees, but I think that would look bad with my shortie calves and long, muscular thighs!
Ugh, I have the same shelf-stomach thing happening. I blame all the beer. The sweet, delicious, nourishing beer. Sigh.
Darce, I have that tummy if I'm 120lbs or 160lbs. IT'S MY CURSE.
Sorry to hear that you are sick, but you look adorable! I love your shoes! They pull the whole look together :)
oh i love the acid wash on your jeggings!! and the printed cardigan is so cute!
P.S i found your blog after reading your comment on LLymlrs, i was like holy crap that is just like me!!! i always wear jeans even though i don't think they particularly suit my mucular legs and pretty flat butt (so annoying to always have that sagging). But they are what absolutely everybody wears jeans where i live!! maybe it is a north american thing... probably lol I haven't worn pants to much on blog, try like once but i do wear them alot when i don't feel like putting to much effort. and i wrote a super long comment lol i hope you are feeling better now!
Your body hates you, bb. I still love the jeggings even though in my heart I feel like I should hate them.
