I had written on this post, but for some reason nothing uploaded with it, so here I am again. This was for valentine's day this past year and I had the day off. These pants were actually indeed of loose when I first got them, I was in my super skinny days then and knew I was going to eventually gain a healthy weight back, now they actually fit a little snug, but still perfect.

Peplum was a gift, wine colored skinny pants are from Cotton on and sandals from Rainbow.

Earrings from Valsan, necklace from Miss A, new tennis bracelet from my husband he got from the antique show at the fair expo, since he works there.

I went to get a gel manicure since I had a Groupon that expired this day, I had been so busy working, I hadn't had a a chance.

Eyeshadow was Huda Beauty obsessions palette in mauve and lips were Tarte Cosmetics Tartiest quick dry matte lip paint in cheerleader.

It was the end of January last year, I already had my Valentine decorations up, so why not a pre-valentine outfit. I usually like to do black for valentine's and accessorize with red, which is what I did. I had decided to get my hair done that day, but I took the full outfit shots before going to the salon.

Black dress was a gift, black belt from Sears, Kenneth Cole Reaction handbag from Ross and sandals from Rainbow.

Necklace was a gift from a friend from a garage sale, earrings from Miss A, watch from Target and bracelets from Miss A.

I had a Groupon for two blow dries at Christie Pea Beauty Lounge and it was well worth it. I have naturally straight hair, so I like to have curls whenever I can and they did an amazing job and pretty quickly too. As always when I get something new, I take many pictures to show it off.

For Saturday, Valentine's day there was going to be a party to celebrate my mother's birthday, which was on Wednesday and I wanted to dress up. My sickness started on Tuesday, which by then was only a headache and some joint pain, but by Saturday, it had been a 5 day migraine, this time with massive eye pain, fatigue, fever, low blood pressure and just many many tears of pain, It was the worse day of my life. That afternoon I took a pill that the doctor had recommended and I did feel better during the evening. By yesterday, none of the meds were working anymore, so again it was another seriously bad day with it being my 7th day with a migraine, which is why I couldn't work on this post. I finally got diagnosed with a kidney infection because of drinking this contaminated third world water and I haven't been the only one around here.

It has been a very painful week, but I'm finally staring to feel better as I am well enough to blog now. This was the planned outfit for Saturday, so I take the pictures of just the clothes at least. Black lace top was a gift, red skirt from Sears and booties from Payless.

Necklace and earrings set from Burlington Coat Factory.

Pearl bracelet from Zetram Designs.

Bangle part of a set from New York and Company and silver ring bought online.
