Bright and Cheerful

What I'm wearing: Old Navy top, Forever 21 lace bandeau, Urban Outfitters shorts, Nine West outlet wedges, J.Crew bracelet, Kate Spade outlet tote

It's yellow day over at Everybody, Everywear, but unfortunately I am not participating because this morning I realized that I have absolutely no yellow clothing here in New York with me. Considering how pale I am, it's normally a color I avoid, although I have worn it a time or two. But despite the fact that I'm not sporting yellow today, I've got plenty of other reasons to be bright and cheerful:
1. I got to use my brand-spanking-new camera for the first time today. Yes you read that right...I got a new camera! My dad surprised me and bought me a new Canon Powershot. Did I mention it's magenta? Did I mention that my dad is awesome?!
2. I got off work wayyy early today
3. Which then allowed me to go to the gym! Last summer I didn't work out a SINGLE time while I was here, so this summer I was determined not to fall into that pattern again. It's definitely a challenge to stay motivated to fit in workouts and hit the gym, but I know it's worth it. And I feel so much better when I go!
4. Tomorrow's my day off and I'm going shopppppping :)
5. I'm about to go shower and curl up in bed to watch Harry Potter 7, part 1. Just gearing up for part 2, which premieres Thursday at midnight! I'm so excited! You better believe I'll be there...massive amounts of caffeine are going to be needed to get through the Friday workday, but it'll be totally worth it!

Day 5- The Classics

How is everyone holding up so far on the 30 for 30 challenge? I'm a little frustrated that I'm so far behind, but my weekly routine forces me to wear a work uniform 2-3 days a week. I'm doing what I can though, and I'm hoping to get a little more caught up this weekend. Yesterday was Day 5, and I was in the mood to wear something simple but classy. And what's more classic than stripes, a cardigan, riding boots, a Tiffany's bracelet, and stud earrings?

What I'm wearing: J.Crew beaded cardigan, Gap striped tee, Gap Always Skinny jeans, Ciao Bella boots via DSW, Tiffany's bracelet (gift), Vintage ring, Pink Box earrings

To top off the look, I added my Old Navy coat and
a Burberry scarf (ebay!)

The Burberry scarf added a nice little British touch, which was appropriate because last night I saw a midnight showing of Harry Potter 7, part 1! No matter how old I get, I will never outgrow Harry Potter. The movie was one of the best ones yet, and it was a super fun night...totally worth getting there 3 hours early to get good seats :) Any other HP fans out there?
