Happy Chinese New Year guys!!! It's officially the year of the horse, which means we get to rush forward like a stampede into a successful, exuberant year. How lucky! I'm a monkey, so major, life-changing events tend to happen in the horse year. We'll see how well that works out for me.
I wore my bright red jacket to ring in the new year festivities, mostly because a friend of mine saw it, and was like, "That's a new year's jacket." (I was complaining about not having riding boots to make a horse themed outfit). But hey, what better way to ring in the new year than with a super lucky colour. Let's hope it brings me lots of money and a real job once I graduate! It's also traditional to wear a new article of clothing, so you'll be seeing what I bought Monday.
I love this turquoise nail polish from Sally Hansen that I received from Influenster. It's "jaded" from the Complete Salon Manicure line, and it's the perfect lagoon colour (and we all know I love shades of blue).
You know what's great about boyfriend jeans? You never have to worry about shrinking them in the wash (I'm pretty paranoid about it happening)! They are about one size too large though – if you want to buy the 7 For All Mankind Josefina, I recommend sizing down. I bought my regular size, but I'm gonna run these through a hot water wash to try and shrink them down. As they are now, they're nearly falling off my hips without a belt.
