Early V-Day

I can't say that I really care that much about Valentine's Day, but I also can't pass up the opportunity to dress for the occasion. My anniversary with Jon was last week, so we usually spend more time celebrating that the week before everything gets super crowded. This year, we celebrated a bit early so I could take a day off from work, and we went to Balboa Island, as we do every year. And as it is every year, it was a perfect day. It's crazy to think that we've been together three years, but it's also crazy that it's only been three years. I'm so excited for even more anniversaries and Valentine's Day to come with him. (I usually hate writing anything cheesy, but he's made me soft. Damn him!)

While we aren't doing anything big on V-Day this year, I still had use it as an excuse to break out a little red dress. I got this one off of Amazon before Dapper Day last year, and it has to be one of my most comfortable, stretchiest dresses. A true score in my book. I know that I accidentally over-saturated it while editing, but it's late and I'm too tired to re-do them. So enjoy my overly saturated photos and 10 p.m. ramblings. It's past my bedtime, okay?

In Movie Pass news, we also saw Coco the day we celebrated our anniversary and cried our eyes out (not really, but I did tear up). Last weekend was The Post, and while it wasn't my favorite of all of the movies I've seen lately, I still enjoyed it. 

In non-movie pop culture news, I started watching Altered Carbon with my friend and I hate that I have to wait for him to watch more. I also have been binge watching Psych lately, and my latest podcast obsession is Atlanta Monster, just like everyone else.

Little Red Dress

Valentine's has come and gone, but I couldn't resist another slightly inspired look. I mostly just wanted an excuse to throw on a red dress and sparkly collar, can you blame me? It was really bright when these pictures were taken so some of them may look weirdly edited, but it was really just the sun and my lack of editing ability. I'll get on that eventually.

I hope everyone has been having a good weekend! I went out of town for a little shopping trip with T.J. yesterday to get him some new clothes. He got three cardigans so I'm a happy girlfriend. My own shopping ban is still going strong; I only made an exception for some fantastic sunglasses at H&M. They were $10 and I haven't owned a pair in months after I lost my beloved Ray-Bans (R.I.P.) and broke another cheap pair. So really, the new pair was necessary. 

Also, I have never been more depressed than when I went into Plato's Closet. I was hoping it be akin to a Buffalo Exchange, but the clothes I found in there were awful. Plus, they took two of my items and gave me $4.50. I'm thankful for some of you Midwest ladies who help me remember that good style does exist in some places here. 

And of course, there's a giveaway going on!
