  1. Yes, Chico’s is a store. Same company as White House/Black Market. My mom shops there a lot, and once when shopping with her I saw these sweaters for like $30. Acrylic blend, hold up nicely, got one in black and one in this cherry color. chicos.com.

    And thanks for the mascara suggestion. I will have to check it out. Is Rimmel sold ouside of Wal Mart? I do not shop at Wall Mart but would like to try Rimmel’s products.

  2. What store is your sweater from (is Chico’s a brand or a store – sorry, not familiar with it!).

    I know you mentioned awhile ago you were looking for a new mascara, if you like the really dramatic, full look, try Rimmel’s Volum’Eyes. It had a comb instead of a regular brush which I had no idea how to use at first but now I’m in love with it! Only downside would be that it doesn’t wash off easily, but a good makeup remover fixes that 🙂

  3. Your hair looks great and I love the bright color.

    If you’re feeling stale, I always like to get some new tops for cheap that mix in with the standard stuff I already have – fun patterns and cuts that will probably be out of style in 5 minutes, but I only paid $15 so who cares?

    I also think your fun weekend stuff could be mixed in with work items. That great Express tunic from the other weekend might look really good with your light-colored work pants and brown boots.
