Skippy Says: Quit Playing Games With My Heart (OOTD)

With Thanksgiving rapidly approaching, lots of bloggers have begun to write about things they're thankful for. I think it's an incredibly sweet idea, and since I can be a bit of a Negative Nancy sometimes (with a capital "N" for super negativity) I thought joining in might do me some good.

Today, I'm thankful for having friends that email me deals like this because they remember that time I confessed my love for the Backstreet Boys, yet still want to hang out with me. That would be my friend Meaghan. Only $829 for a 3 night stay on a cruise with Nick, Brian, Howie, AJ, and Kevin? Don't mind if I do! (Don't you judge me for knowing all their names).

    That skirt is so cute, and I bet it's super versatile. You could style it a million different ways!

    You have some great shoes! Love the bag too. The pink and blue play well with each other. And if you love the BSB as much as you do, go on the cruise! New Kids on the Block were my boy band. Aww...memories :) Heather

    My best friend is still obsessed with the Backstreet Boys - but she has a newborn now so probably won't make the cruise! You look so cute - I love the paper bag waist on the skirt, and your shoes are adorable.

    Thanks :) I actually have such a hard time b/c I have tiny feet (size 4-5) so whenever I see anything cute in my size I snatch it up :)

    Thanks Heather! I hadn't tried this color combo before, but I really loved it. And as much as I love BSB (and it's a lot), I think I could find a better use for $829...you know, like repaying my students loans :(

  26. SamanthaNovember 10, 2011 at 7:48 AM

    I am totally IN LOVE with this outfit - everything! I'm surprised that isn't a Anthropologie skirt! Anyways, no judging. I'm a gal of the NKOTB era and I was in love with Joey and Jordan!

    And I'm really surprised that you are a negative nancy!! You seem super duper positive to me! :)

    Thanks Samantha! Yup- BCBG on sale for $30! I snatched it up in gray and white :)

    And it's weird- I am generally really positive to others, but can be really negative and harsh with myself. You know? I think we all do that. But it's good to work on :)

    Excuse me, but WHO doesn't LOVE the BSB? I most certainly do! I may be even obsessed. Ok, not obsessed. But you know, I like them a REAL LOT. hahahaha. LOVE your shoes, darling! They are beautiful! and of course, so are you, BSB lover or not :)

    Your shoes are superb as well as your bag!
    And I can't believe the Backstreet Boys are doing a cruise... Sounds absolutely unreal and I guess a bit sad...

    Heck, we were all pretty crazy about Backstreet Boys. I still can't believe I used to moon after the oldest member of the team - whatshisname. Welcome back from your holiday. Hope you had a great time!

    The shoes are to DIE for. Seriously. They're amazing. You mixed so many colors, and they all work so well! But I'm totally coveting those shoes. Why do I not have a pair of lace-up peep-toe shoe boots?! :)

    Thanks Bessie! I liked 98 degrees too, but BSB were definitely #1 in my book. And I think Nick would be extremely lucky to have you- definitely his loss :)
