Has this week been a slow-motion woof-a-thon for anyone else? Bleh! Guys, can I just be honest with you for a sec? This week sucked. There it is. I said it. IT. SUCKED. I have a hard time admitting that, because whenever I think it, and even right now as I’m writing it, I’m thinking to myself ‘Oh boo-hoo miss Persecuted Priscilla. Life is just so hard for you, isn’t it? Puhlease! Get over yourself! Trade places for ONE DAY with 80% of the population and you will realize that you have no real problems.”
And that’s just it peeps – I know that ^, which is what makes me feels SO LAME whenever I’m being a Whiny Winnie or a Complaining Constance. But, once in a while, I’ve found that there is something very liberating about admitting to what I’m truly feeling, and being ok with it. Ya know what I mean? My week sucked. That’s the honest truth. And ya know what? I’m ok with that.
Now to help me get over it, let’s play some Cool/Not Cool, cuz nothing entertains me quite like making fun of myself does. Mmmk? Ready….And…GO.
Cool: having skin.
Not cool: having skin that looks radioactive, oompa-loompa orange in these pics. Pretty awesome, right guys? I give you full permission to mock in my general direction.
Cool: eating something healthy right before bed.
Not cool: eating cookies and candy right before bed, while IN the bed.
Cool: having a three-day weekend cuz of Labor Day.
Not cool: wondering when husband and I turned 85 years old, since honestly what we most feel like doing for the three-day weekend is absolutely nothing besides sitting on our butts with nowhere to go, nowhere to be, and nothing to do unless we WANT to do it. Which we probably won’t. Cuz we’re real cool and young and hip and adventurous like that.
Blouse: c/o Sugarlips | Faux leather leggings: Windsor | T-strap heels: Thrifted | Bag: F.21 | Jewelry

But what can cheer you up on a crappy day/week? …a cute outfit! Like this one!
Sarah’s Real Life
This week has been one giant woof-a-thon for sure. I wish I were with you so we could eat some popcorn in our beds and wake up the next morning to find the kernels everywhere. I love you Mary Shan.
I love this whole outfit! You look great in those pants and I love the shoes 🙂
girrl, my week sucked, too! Hard-core, knock-down-drag-out sucked with a lot of slurpy noises. WHich I HATE. Sometimes, it really is liberating to say so, rather than pretending that everything is “great, thanks!”. Sorry your week was cruddy, too.
I’ve had a semi-crappy week, and this morning I was in a hooooorrible mood. And I’m with you: I know I have it better than A LOT of people, and I have oh-so-many things to be thankful for, but sometimes I just want to drown in self pity. And that’s OK.
And it’s also OK to feel as if you’re 80 something in your 20s. At least I tell myself that. Because my hubs and I spend a large portion of our weekends lounging on the couch watching tv. So enjoy your weekend of nothing!
No way that bag is from F21! It looks so much more… um… expensive! lol
