Speed Round

This is not going to be a surprise to a gal who has ever met anyone from the opposite sex before, but BF (i.e., Every Man) does NOT like to go shopping. I was reminded of that this past Friday when he and I headed briefly to the mall to get me an emergency blazer for work (we won't even get into that).

So when I am "shopping" with BF, I usually try to get through the stores I need to quickly and sometimes leave the trying things on to after I get home. I know, this makes it all sound so fun, doesn't it. And yes, I had to bait him with dinner as well.

He's not all that bad, but I do think BF's fashion idea of Heaven would very much resemble that from Wall-E: Ooh, blue is the new red *click*.

But I did manage to find my new blazer at the local Zara and also go this gorgeous skirt (no surprise this style would catch my eye, huh), which made for a pretty nice outfit after I tried it on at home:

Yes, you may see this outfit again soon - love!
