I Will Remember a Cupcake Forever

Jewelry: Handmade --- Top, Belt, and Skirt: Thrifted --- Tights: Kohls --- Shoes: John Fluevog --- Purse: Forever21

I got this top at St. Vincent's a while back during a 50% off sale, so it was only $1.64. It's J. Jill, which I know is kind of an old lady brand, but I couldn't resist the awesome stripe detailing on the front, which is actually strips of fabric sewn on the front. Love.

On a more serious note, I'm sure all of you have heard by now that Osama bin Laden was killed yesterday. I'm not a political person at all and like to avoid discussions about politics or watching about politics on the news at all costs. I did watch a live feed online for a while last night, though, because they kept on saying Obama was about to say something about it (I got bored of waiting and turned it off). One of the news anchors, though, said something I found highly amusing:

"American people will always remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard that Osama bin Laden was dead."

While I highly doubt that is true, I did find it funny because right when I turned on MSN and saw the headlines that bin Laden was dead, I was eating a cupcake. So I guess every time someone talks about bin Laden, an image of a cupcake is going to pop into my head. Sweet deal, if you ask me.

So what were you doing when you heard the news?

Outfit + Ring Pics

This is the kind of outfit that happens when I am feeling uninspired and lazy. Strips + pencil skirt + a pop of red is a pretty fail-proof combination.

I got a nice surprise this morning when I was looking at Caitlin's blog and saw the most awesome pictures of her wearing the ring she won in my giveaway! I get so excited when I get pics back from people wearing my stuff (which doesn't happen often), so I was super thrilled when I saw these. Check out her whole post HERE.
