I went full speed today. Met up with a classmate to help, ended up having lunch and coffee with her. It was actually a fun day even though we were doing work. I didn't get any sleep last night after receiving bad news about the move. It's apparently off the table now, but I am going down to my mom's anyway this weekend to help her out with setting everything up for living on her own. I was pretty upset (read: pissed), but I'm taking this blip in the plans and running with it. I'm too busy to let it slow me down.

I needed something comfortable, but dressed up enough to combat the bad night. This All Saints blouse was an ebay find (BIN, NWT). I'd been admiring it on the site, but was critical of the weird collar and large sleeve - the BIN price was really cheap so I snapped it up. In the end, the fit was incredible, and I liked the deconstructed collar. I even think it might be nice for layering in the future. Admittedly I liked it so much, I got the skirt (off their site) from the same colorway/design. I'm completely won over by their cut of clothing. It's nice to wear things cut to fit a body (at least my body).

I will still be leaving up the Shop My Closet/Swap My Closet page. The clothing will be there for another week or so, until I get around to heading by Goodwill for donation. The shoes will be available until I find a buyer or swapper interested. I figure a good purge is probably still a good idea.
