Not an "OOTD" post. More of a "Happy Moments" post.
In the last two days, I have slept a total of 8 hours. [whine]
I usually try to get at least 7 hours of sleep every night because it helps with stress relief, weight loss, and promotes a healthier well-being. In undergrad, it was no big deal for me to get 4-5 hours of sleep per day, but now, if I don't get my minimum number of zzz's, I get cantankerous and dangerously obscene. I'm not even exaggerating.
So even though I have tons of stuff to do, I decided to slow things down a bit and take a mini day-off. No fuss dress-up, no makeup, no fancy hairstyles. Sure, I still did schoolwork, but I spaced it over a longer period of time, interspersed with moments of video gaming and blog perusing so it didn't feel like all I did was schoolwork. These photos were taken before eating a homemade seafood pasta dinner with my husband who has also been working non-stop. The pasta was delicious because I'm awesome. hahaha.
So far, it's been a great mini day-off. I wore my lovely Sinclairs and felt nerdularly cute with them. They came in two days after I ordered them! Seriously, Warby Parker, I am totally impressed by your products and awesome service.
I really like this outfit. I always find the most laid back ones are the best. Also, your glasses look great!
ReplyDeleteI love your striped sweater. I need 7-8 hours of sleep or I'm not a nice teacher.
ReplyDeletegreat sweater. you are running low on rest, you were in need of a "mini day off"
ReplyDeleteAh!!! Laura. I love them so much! You're making me want to hurry up and choose my five for the in home try on. But I really should wait until my next next paycheck... Since rent comes after my next.
ReplyDeleteWANT. WANT! WANT. yeah, you get it. So adorable. You look so joyful :)
Hi Laura,
ReplyDeleteI actually laughed out loud when I read "cantankerous" :D my sister and I use the word "crank" and then we have variations of it- I am cranky today, leave me alone. You just got cranked. Don't crank me, Im just asking you a question. HAHA. Anyhow, I went through a few of your old posts.. and I found out we have a few likes in common hehe, cardigans! jeggings! cooking! hello kitty! :D
Ive never made a seafood pasta before, would you share your recipe? Have a good week! (:

8 hours?!?! Dont worry you look great:) when I sleep that little the tackless guys at my work saying things such as: you look suuuuper tired, did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?
ReplyDeletehahaha not cool guys!
You need to get some shut eye :( You will feel so happy after!
ReplyDeleteThose glasses look fabulous on you! Thank you for introducing Warby Parker. I just checked out the website and I think I'll be trying on a few pairs. I was in DIRE need of new glasses and these look trendy and classic at the same time :)
Do you feel they're good quality for what you paid for? :)
ReplyDeleteHappy mini day off! I really like the bright, thick stripes on that cardigan. (: And how you paired it with leopard print. I need to find me some leopard print.
ReplyDeletereally cute glasses, and i love that you can cook such amazing dishes! great outfit too =)

My sleep schedule is always in a state of flux. It's annoying. I prefer at least 7 hours, but that doesn't always happen. Boo.
ReplyDeleteA mini day off can be just the thing to help rejuvenate us. So glad you enjoyed yours!
Um.. I love this outfit. I'm really anxious to wear outfits comprised of cardigans, shorts, and flats (or my moccasins). I can't waitttttt.
love the outfit, you look so cute!!! i adore that striped sweater :)

In undergrad, I definitely pulled all-nighters, and it was no problem. Now, I make sure that I always get 7-8 hours of sleep - for my own health and well-being and for the health and well-being of those around me.
ReplyDeleteWe all need those days off once in a while. I do the same thing on my days off -- homework interspersed blogging, yoga, and random crap that I find to procrastinate.

You're so cute, Laura!
ReplyDeleteI totally need my 8 hours of sleep or else I get really bad migraines the next day. Oh the joys of getting older.
I hope you enjoyed your mini day off! you deserve it!
It sounds like you had a nice break, and I am loving that striped sweater.
ReplyDeletesometimes you have to treat yourself to these mini day offs...i sure could use one. love the glasses, i want a pair!

:D
seafood pasta sounds delicious! I love your striped sweater, too!
ReplyDeleteI love these shots of you! So much fun! For a person who's only had eight hours of sleep in two days, you look extremely refreshed! I wish I could say the same. I go without proper sleep for one night and I look absolutely horrific. :)
ReplyDeleteI really think that you should draw a comic and call it "cantankerous and dangerously obscene". Bloody brilliant!
ReplyDeleteAwful lot of cute, Laura! I love the 2nd last pic of you smooching at the screen with flowers!
ReplyDeleteCute outfit!!
