Stud Muffin

I've been feeling kinda down lately. I think it might be because I gained some weight and it all went to my tummy. Kinda self-conscious. But I'm sure some of you will say that I have nothing to complain about because I look slim anyway. But that's not the point. I don't want to be just look slim- I want to be fit, toned, and healthy. I should stop eating so much and stop being lazy. I need to start working out again.

I'm sure you guys have similar days where you just feel gross inside. That's me this week.

Nevertheless, here's an outfit that sorta reflects my emo-ness right now.

Black. Studs. Not much else.

Go-To Comfort

For the past week, I haven't felt like brogging. Probably because I'm still healing from my fall, but also since it's been  crummy weather. I haven't been entirely creative either because work has been sucking all the juice out of my system. Working OT this whole week. But! I did manage to get one outfit post out when I went out for Mac n' Cheese with my favourite people, Ricky and Emi.

My mood totally changes the way I dress. When it's ugly outside, I always feel so blah so I try to dress as warmly and comfortably as possible without looking like a bum. And that's when I grab my gigantic Old Navy sweater. Scarves are another go-to item I love to just throw on before I go out the door.

Also featured in this post are my new brown ORLENA boots from Aldo. Remember how I bought the black ones here? Well it was so hard to resist getting the brown leather ones too during their last big sale when they're under $30! This time I laced them loosely all the way up and they're still just as comfortable and cute.

Review: Aldo 'ORLENA' Military-Inspired Boots

Just my luck, Aldo was having a great end-of-season boots sale. This time around, all the boots that were already on sale were an additional 50% off! I couldn't resist checking it out since their deals at the end of the season are usually quite steep. You can usually find leather boots (the only things I look for) for around $30-$50 after discounts. To top it off, I also found a coupon code, LUCKYU31511, which takes an extra 10% off your purchase until March 15.

From this sale, I got 5 pairs of shoes. They averaged out to be around $40 each, so I spent around $200. Not too bad for 5 pairs of leather boots! I know I know, you're thinking... FIVE PAIRS OF BOOTS?? Ya.. well. I couldn't resist :( They're all different styles okay!

 Here's one of pairs I got: The ORLENA boot.
