Pretty Pleated Please?

I lately have been obsessed with pleated/accordion skirts. Especially in black or nude chiffon. I love how Jean from Extra Petite wears the skirt with a nice floral ruffley top. It's a nice and refreshing look overall. Especially for Summer. It's a very cool and relaxed look without the typical shorts and a tank beach look.


You can find this pleated skirt at ASOS for $60. I haven't committed yet. Like the bargain shopper I am, I'm waiting for a coupon code or a price drop.The other perk about ASOS is free standard shipping with no minimum purchase! And free return shipping!

I did however find the perfect floppy sun hat for my Miami trip this weekend! I can't wait for it to come in! I hope it fits... otherwise, free shipping going back to ASOS!

Age = Allergies

Oh man... sorry for the lack of posts! I have been having some strange reactions to things that I never reacted to before!

Just the other day, I went to visit my girlfriend and her hubby and they have two ginormous kitties! I love cats! I grew up with cats my whole childhood! But just recently. And I mean, really recent. I started to become allergic. Every time I go visit them, I start sneezing and my eyes get itchy, my nose starts a marathon, and I get a nasty sore throat. The first time this happened, I thought I was catching a cold so I went home early and went to bed and felt just fine the next day. The second and third time I went over... I realized it was a reoccurring theme. I was pretty saddened by it because that would limit my hang time :( What's weird is that I never had this happen at their place before...



Yesterday, I had a really strange reaction to my own perfume! I sometimes wear Ralph Lauren Romance and switch between a few (my ultimate favorite being Marc by Marc Jacobs Lola). But yes, yesterday, my Romance really did me in. I was sneezing non-stop, was all stuffed up, and starting to become miserable. My boss finally sent me over to CVS across the street to get myself some Claritin. Mind you, I've never been allergic to anything ever... nor have I taken Claritin. I got a box of 10. It was the 24 hour relief box. I figured, "Hmm, the 24 hour one is only $3 more than the 12 hour box. I could get double the coverage for $3 more!" Yes, that's me... always looking for the most economical deal I can get. So anyway, took a pill and it worked! Made ALL my symptoms go away. But it gave me new ones. Let's just say that I feel like I had one too many drinks, the world looked so much more glossy, really dry mouth/throat, and I could not sleep for more than 4 hours at a time last night. My boss said, "For your first time taking a new drug, don't get the most potent one..." Oops.

Please learn from me. Sometimes the "extra value" isn't always worth it. On a happier note, I'm feeling a lot better!
