Goodness, today was definitely one of those days. It was nonstop from basically the moment that I woke up until now, 1am. Here’s what I was able to knock off the todo list: vacuum all 4 stories of my condo, did 2 loads of laundry, did 1 load of dishes, ran 3.44 miles, read 50% of my Google Reader blog backlog, returned some free shipping fillers at the mall, picked up a new Michael Kors watch, got a mani/pedi*, and went out to dinner with the parents at a local Chinese restaurant. While my taxes are still sitting undone on my desk, but it’s easy to efile taxes so I’m to worried about it. That being said, today was still rather productive!
Unfortunately, today was also rather costly. The Michael Kors watch was quite an unexpected purchase. I had actually picked up a slightly used Michael Kors watch (MK5223) just yesterday at a local thrift store (St. Vincent de Paul for all my local Dallasites) at the suggestion of Angga. It was an amazing deal at $75.76 and I was so elated at finding this beautiful watch at such a great price below retail! The trouble started when I stopped by the Michael Kors counter at my local Dillards as I was in the mall returning some ill-fitting free shipping filler items. Dillards had some of the latest spring watches from Michael Kors on display and I accidentally fell in love with this “Small Runway” Chronograph model. It’s a tiny bit (5mm) smaller in width than the previously thrifted watch and has a beautiful rose gold face instead of a white face. I’m absolutely torn between these two watches and even tweeted that I was willing to sell my thrifted watch earlier when I was looking through my March budget. Although I have one possibly interested buyer, if this deal falls through I actually think I might just keep both of them. It’ll mean no more shopping for the rest of March, but maybe it’ll be worth it. I’ll just have to look at my watch every time I want to buy something and remember the sacrifice I made. 🙂
My productive day also meant that I didn’t get around to take outfit pictures until 7pm and I was literally too busy praying that at least one of these pictures would turn out to think about trying to get a close-up of the watch. Here’s a promise for better close-up watch pictures tomorrow!

* I tried out my new Chanel Black Pearl nail polish. It’s beautiful! And if you’re in the Dallas, don’t miss out on this $18.50 mani / pedi deal! And if you like Groupon but haven’t signed up for KGBDeals.com, you’re missing out. 🙂
P.S. Are you ready for the Color Brigade tomorrow?

Dang girl! You were on a roll today! It makes me feel so lazy, haha. I had plans to super clean the entire apartment and only ended up cleaning/mopping the kitchen. There's always tomorrow, right?
Love the Black Pearl! And those shoes! I could never walk in heels that high.

Rinny says
Your legs look really long in these photos 🙂 I don't think I could ever wear a mini skirt and such tall heels out though – I'd feel too self conscious haha. Michael Kors watches are beautiful – you should just keep both of them 😉

PetiteLittleGirl says
The watch is beautiful, Kileen. I was looking into the same type of watch (Marc by Marc Jacobs style MBM3074). It is a little cheaper than the one you have. I think I am going to pass and save up for my Chanel 🙂 I can't believe you ran errands in those heels. They're super high. Have a great week.
brett says
Wow – What a day you had
I am loving that skirt and those shoes
You are becoming my shoe inspiration, now if I could just learn how to walk in those types of shoes

Samantha says
I love the skirt, it's denim without looking like denim, if that makes sense. And I'm in love with the nail polish, I'm currently obsessed with just about everything polish related. If only I could get my hands on any of it…

You should keep both watches, you never know which outfit may need either one…he he I must add that I'm jealous of your ability to wear bare legs in early March. I also have to add in how I love those shoes and that skirt is so cute! Overall GREAT outfit!!

Totally digging on the black nails as of recent! And would you like to come give me a productivity kick in the bootay???
Angga Heinrich says
I love love love this look!!!! and I just got me a black pearl nail polish, I was going to wear them last weekend but I didnt get off work until 6.30 🙁 so I cant wait to wear them this weekend, and I really love the rose gold MK, they actually have it in St Vincent De Paul when I went there, but they were severely beat up that I decided not to go with it instead got the same one as yours LOL
Great idea on trying to sell your MK, hopefully you get a good luck with it and if not, there is no harm on having it in your collection, would love to get me another one, hopefully next time when I go visit 🙂

It sounded like a packed day! I love the outfit, not too fuzzy just basic but still interesting details with the skirt. Perfect for a busy day that you experienced.
