Distracted

I guess this is blazer week for me, since I'm wearing yet another one today.

Blazer: Loft; Top: H&M; Skirt: Thrifted; Belt: Urban Outfitters; Shoes: Target; Tights: Target;
Jewelry: H&M and Jess LC

Being the news junkie that I am, I couldn't help but to mention this, but is anyone else distracted by the news these days and the idea that the federal government might shut down on Friday? *Shaking my Head* I'm not sure if it's the hot topic of discussion in other cities, but it certainly is in DC...

On another note (more positive note), it just occurred to me that I wear a lot of Urban Outfitters items...you'd think I worked there or something. I only shop at UO when items go on sale, but some of my favorite staples like this belt were purchased there.

Okay, I think I'll go back to being distracted by the news now...

I am so worried about the gov't shutting down; I work outside of DC in the Shenandoah Valley area of VA, but I work for the Dept. of Army and I am not enthused about a shut down AT ALL!

Now...I just still love them (even though I'm still top heavy:)

P.S...This is random but I LOVE that wall you take pics in front of!

I was also shocked at the fed government news. they really need to get it together. on a positive note i guess the shutdown means an instant tax extension for some folks....lol

At April 7, 2011 at 3:13 PM , ShenDove said...: Awesome!
At April 7, 2011 at 3:14 PM , ShenDove said...: Let's keep our fingers crossed that the shut down is somehow avoided but we'll see what happens...I think many of us in the DC and Metro area are hoping for a positive outcome.
At April 7, 2011 at 3:16 PM , ShenDove said...: Thanks lady! Blazers are awesome and so versatile. I don't buy them that often anymore, but the ones I have are staples.
At April 7, 2011 at 3:17 PM , ShenDove said...: Thanks lady! I have a few more that will be making appearances on the blog soon : )
At April 7, 2011 at 3:19 PM , ShenDove said...: True, true, guess we have to look on the bright side of the situation. And thanks! My skirt was ankle length when I first purchased it, but fit perfectly in the waist, so I couldn't resist.
At April 7, 2011 at 3:20 PM , ShenDove said...: Thanks lady! I guess if nothing else I'm loyal to stores : )
I feel much better now that I've but myself on a news ban for the rest of the day!

Unfortunately up here in the north I had no idea about the federal government shutting down, what the what is that about?

I'm not really a news junkie, but I try to keep up. All the news about the possible shut just pisses me off, mainly because of all of the political BS that has gone on and gotten us to this point. Makes me want to move to Antarctic where there are no politicians.

I especially love it over the floral dress!

They were trying to sell this nautical belt made of like clothesline rope there last year for $48... no. I'm so jealous of your floaty light fabrics right now. It poured again today and all I want is to bring out some transitional pieces!
