Ruby Tuesday

Ok, so Tuesday had nothing to do with rubies. Rather, Ruby Tuesday is one of my favorite Rolling Stones songs. "Don't question why she needs to be so free, she'll tell you it's the only way to be. She just can't be chained to a life where nothing's gained, and nothing's lost, at such a cost."

...And I could go on forever. I don't know what it is with me and any song that sounds a little sad but has that underlying uplifting melody, but I just love them. (See: I'm Looking Through You- Beatles, Adia- Sarah McLachlan, Learning to Fly- Tom Petty, you get the point.)

Anyways, on to the outfit. I don't think I've worn this shirt since maybe last winter, and Tuesday was one of those days where nothing really seemed fitting to my mood, one of those days that generally calls for something that you dig out of the back of your closet and try to breathe life into just for the sake of something out of the ordinary. The skirt on the other hand, well I'm sure you've all seen that a million times or so by now!!





It was actually cold enough to require a coat yet again, despite some temps in the 50's over the weekend. I'm starting to agree with everyone else out there that I'm ready for Spring. Spring and Autumn (Or the 'mid-seasons' as I like to call them) are my favorites, because the weather isn't too extreme and you can usually pull off wearing ANY kind of clothes!

I'm just getting a bit bored with my "winter outfits", and as a broke college student buying more isn't really in my budget. Plus, I'd totally rather save the small budget I do have for clothing for new SPRING stuff!!! I think this year I've been inspired by all you celeb-bloggers out there and I'm going to try to find some interesting ways to incorporate floral print without overdoing it.

You also might notice that I have a purse for once in my pictures. This particular one is a Nine West that I bought from TJ Maxx (PERFECT for good purses if you're like me and are more concerned with finding one that is neutrally fashionable but can still hold the millions of things you want to shove into it, while not having to pay a fortune for it). It's pretty much my go-to "BIG BLACK BAG" that goes with practically every outfit and can fit my entire life within it.

One last thing- new recipe for PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIE CUPCAKES over at Wonderland Kitchen. :-) I'm getting a little wild with the postings this week.
