What a strange week- I was only at work for 2 days (after working 27 hours of overtime last week) but man does it ever feel like they were long days anyway! Maybe because I haven't a hope of catching up for, I don't know, a month or so?! I ended up staying late tonight anyway...
I was inspired by the
EBEW folks to continue polka-dotting through the week. Yesterday, I finally paired the ruffled plaid with polka dots and I loved it!

Then today, keeping with the dots, I went for some all-out colour, to distract from the misery that is the rainy, slushy outside world (why does ma nature always follow a generous heap of snow with rain, rain, rain, thus ensuring that where it ain't slick and iced over there shall be foot-deep puddles?

The rainy, slushy world must mean it`s my birthday week, yup... I don't know if the sun ever shines on March 9, but for slush lovers it`s a bonanza! And come to think of it, maybe my over-consumption of birthday Froot Loops (a tradition going way, way back) may have had some influence on the polka-dotting and bright colours! Time to top-up my supply- the week isn`t over yet!!
Speaking of which, I caved to the allure of my first B-Day discount card from Anthro and cleared out my wishlist with a few colourful, spring-y popbacks :
