Summer Brings Out the Virgin Mary!

Summer and sundresses always put me in the mood for bright colored jewelry... and out comes the Virgin Mary Necklace from the Cactus Flower! Usually paired with matching green and bright blue bracelets from Forever 21, and I threw in this creme bangle from India. Today was definitely a sundress day- temperatures almost hit 80. However it was not a good "Self-timer" day, and I had to settle for a mirror picture to get one of the dress, so sorry for the poor quality of THAT one. Lighting was just not working with me this morning in our apartment.




I finally got my digital scrapbook of India finished for my Creativity and Communications final project, and went and got it printed/put together this morning. So yay for being done with that. My Marketing Research final was tonight, and everone kept saying it was easy, so I didn't really study for it... and it was. Now just one more on Thursday, and it's summer!!! Plus, Cinco de Mayo in the meantime. One of my favorites :-)

Today Betsy and I ran to Target in search of some little over the shoulder side purses for going out... and I got this little metallic one, as well as a clearance belt, all for $17! Goooood day. I think I'll have to go back this weekend because they had some reallly cute dresses.

AMERICAN EAGLE CLEARANCE!!!!

So I woke up at 8 o'clock this morning with my throat practically closed up and as sore as it could get, thanks to this ridiculous little cold or whatever it is I've picked up the last few days. This, naturally, would happen on the day Kelly and I had plans to brunch, run about a million errands (WalMart, JoAnns, Job Hunting, Sam's, etc etc etc), and go to the gym. Luckily Sudafed combined with advil and some pretty strong coffee have severely reduced the unpleasantness, and now I'm just pretty stuffed up... so I think we will at least be able to do a (VERY) late brunch and run the errands. I'm hoping this sick stuff with straighten itself up by tomorrow, or it may just have to deal with the fact that I'm going to the gym anyways.

However, much to MY delight, we were discussing Kel's American Eagle thermal and decided to get on the website and see if they had any on sale... AND THEY HAVE SOME AMAZING CLEARANCE SALES RIGHT NOW! Unfortunately no thermals, but I did order a cardigan, a fleece sweatshirt for lazy days, and another sweater.

The best part is that with 3 items or more, shipping is free, and I also managed to find another 15% off code on Promotion Code! (The code is 56079843, but if you plan on using it get on it because it doesn't specify when it expires!) I've really become quite a fan of googling the websites that give you good discount codes for all types of stores! That website was particularly nice because it gives the dates the code was last said to work based on user feedback, as well as the average amount saved by users!

In the end, all of these ended up each costing only $17, which is a pretty good steal for things that were originally $30-$50! I have really been in need of some more sweaters and a cardigan, so to say the least I am REALLY excited! I'd really recommend checking out the sales if you have any interest in AE, because they've got everything from pea coats to underwear to hats and necklaces on clearance!

Now I'm off to attempt to make my sick self look somewhat presentable so Kelly and I can be functioning members of society today. Since she's back AND has a brand new camera, maybe we'll have a 2 for 1 outfit post later!!!
