Work Party Inspiration

So after texting, emailing, and pinning ideas with my best friend Emily, I have come to the conclusion of what I will be wearing for this year's Company Work Party. I am an engineer so getting dressed up has been dress pants and a nice top for the past few months. Not to mention that I have to be at work at 6 in the morning, so when I get ready at 5 am, I throw my hair up and quickly apply some makeup. Now I will get to throw on a dress and look put together for a night in front of my coworkers.

My mom got me this gold sparkly dress a week ago and I knew I had to pimp it out with color and jewelry... which is honestly my favorite part... accessorizing! So here's the look:
With this hair:
And these nails:
OPI's Skyfall
The only problem is I have to drive 45 minutes away to a nearby town in order to buy these beautiful shoes, but while I am there I will be looking for some sort of cover up, either a cardigan or coat to put over the dress at times.

So what do you think? Any ideas for this look? Trust me I need all the help I can get!

Shopper's High.

Okay after watching plenty of “extreme couponing” episodes, I have finally experienced what its like to get a crazy good deal for CHEAP. So last week I was walking past my salon when I saw they had clearance bottles of OPI fingernail polish in their window. So once I started lifting and reading the names of each bottle my attention get distracted by a sign that says “Buy 1, Get 2 Free.” I thought this was a joke since the bottles were already marked down 60%. So I grabbed 3 colors and headed to the counter expecting them to say “Ohh there’s a catch, you have to buy…” but it never happened. The stylist just looked at me and said, “That will be $3.60.” WHAT? For 3 bottles of OPI?
So here’s what I walked away with:
The One That Got Away

Cuckoo For This Color
San Tantanio
I am not going to lie, I went back the following day and got 3 more bottles, by then most were gone since I had to tell everyone and their mother about my crazy good deal. {I need to keep this finds to myself next time.} So I am one happy girl and set with new colors for the next few weeks… Yes I paint my nails a new color every week. #Obsessed.

Sparrow Me The Drama

Don't You Think I'm Tex-ty?
Grand Total of 6 Bottles of OPI fingernail polish.... $7.20!
Feeling of complete success = Priceless
