I am beat tired, guys. Partying until one in the morning is quite easy for someone my age, but it's not so easy for my body in the morning. Oh my, I cannot wait for those college days with alcohol. {Note the sarcasm, please.} After a week of getting hardly any sleep thanks to school work, our annual Grammys and after-party was just what I needed last night to relax (even though that seems to be the complete opposite of what I really need--SLEEP). 

The Grammys was a lot of fun! I got all cute and dressed up, and my makeup was killer (although I looked as if I had Asian eyes sans glasses). I never got a chance to post my outfit choices that I might have worn for this event, so I might do it in the future...or not. It honestly depends on how I feel sometime this week. 

I bought my dress at Sears on sale for $19.99 (knocked down from 50 bucks. Finding nice pieces for such a sale causes my passion for fashion. {That's another reason why I am broke. Sales are my vice.} The belt was one of the main reasons that I bought this dress. It cinched my waist perfectly, which gives me a nice, shapely figure. The stripes are also pretty--horizontal and vertical, which helps to create an illusion to the eye.

The shoes that I wore are ones that I purchased from Dots about two years ago? I am guesstimating (guess/estimating). The only negative about those wedges are that the soles are horrible! I have to pretty much balance myself just right to keep steady. Maybe I can find something to fix that? I don't know. Otherwise, the shoes are gorgeous and one of my favorites! I wore them to Beyonce's concert last year, and a few other times. {You may remember them from this outfit post.}

To give an ode to spring, I painted my nails and toenails a nice shade of pink. You do not see my toes because, at the last minute, I decided to throw on a pair of fishnets because the temperature was starting to cool down. Plus, that meant one less thing that I had to change when I changed into my after-party outfit, which I sadly forgot to photograph. What can I say? I was having fun!

I can smell the future rain showers and roses. The air is still a little chilly, but I have this feeling in my gut that tells me Spring is not so far away.  Okay, okay--the calender tells me, too. I'm quite excited for this upcoming season because I am officially done with this season that we call winter. It's too dang cold! But thankfully, Daylight Savings Time just recently happened (yesterday), so we now have days full of sun! Can I get a yay!? {Yay! Just for in case you guys decided to make me look foolish. Harhar.} The added sunlight is really affecting me in a way unbeknownst to anyone. I feel more cheery; I smile more. It's all a nice breath of fresh air.

In the favor of the future warmer and brighter days, I figured why not throw a little bit of fashion inspiration your way?
