Happy Monday everyone! As happy as a Monday can be I guess. ; ) I hope you all had a great weekend! I don't really live in a frat house but since I moved on Saturday and D.'s roommate is still living there for a couple of more weeks I feel like a bit like I do, hence the title of this post. He loves loud music, late nights, pizza, beer, girls, untidiness - reminds me of college. The move itself went pretty well. We still have tons of unpacking and organizing to do but that will get done slowly. The highlight of my weekend was going to Ikea to pick up a mattress pad! I'm wondering where these mattress pads have been all my life and why I didn't buy one sooner? It definitely makes a HUGE difference in comfort! We then went to The Bay and picked up 600 thread count sheets. I didn't know much about "thread counts" but I am well-versed now. Oh Lord I just realized I'm totally turning into one of Those People who go to Home Depot and Bed Bath & Beyond every weekend like Will Ferrell in 'Old School'. Next I'll be picking out paint chips and a new lawn mower ; )

On to The Outfit: I wore this Friday night to my friend's surprise birthday party. The top I got at Zara for $30 on sale. It's casual yet somewhat dressy because of the sequin detailing at the top, which I love.

K I better get back to unpacking! I promise to catch up on your blogs within the next couple of days! With moving and work I've been quite the busy bee so I hope you understand.  : )

Glad the move went decent! Good luck to you, I couldn't stand living with anyone even slightly similar to a frat boy, even for a couple of weeks.

Your top is great. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I wish I had a Zara closer to me!

Erika: There is absolutely nothing wrong with going to Home Depot to pick up lawnmowers lol! Actually it's a lot of fun shopping for "house" things, I have to admit!

You're looking pretty, as usual! So so sorry I'm behind on my blogging / commenting. Thank you for your support, your comments mean a lot of me! My son's still at home this week so we're busy doing stuff every day. The plan is to tire HIM out but we the adults end up more exhausted!
