emily vs. boredom

she woke up to snow falling from the heavens.
stuck inside, with boredom staring her in the face, she deemed "winter formal" an appropriate title.
off she went, slipping into her dress and heels.
such an occasion required a camera at hand, of course.
and not to mention, the crazy "what the crap are you doing" looks from her sister.
but boredom never wins >:)

Okay, winter formal is two weeks away, but seriously -- I couldn't resist, I had to try everything on.  Did I mention that I scored the dress for $20 at Marshall's?  My mom has taught me well with her bargain hunting ways :)  Seriously, she almost named my brother TJ or Maxx.

While boredom took over my Saturday, today I've got tons of things to do...
that may or may not be a whole magazine dedicated to a vampire I know.  don't judge.
Yes, very very busy indeed.

So tell me.
What are you favorite bargain stores?
How do you cure the boredom itch?

I'm off today, as it is a teacher work day, making me a very happy girl!
hope you have a wonderful Monday :)

    I can't believe you take your own pictures -- I can't imagine the kind of beauty you can capture BEHIND the camera. Wow!

    I love the outfit, but you look so thin! I think you are beautiful, but your body would probobly take well to a few more pounds.

    Urgh, I've been bored stiff myself lately. But I don't read Twilight to cure it :p I guess It depends how I'm feeling whether or not I can cure it. Sometimes even hobbies you get sick of doing.

    I'm loving your stockings. I know a friend who would go MAD for them!

    Looking gorgeous as usual (don't listen to that Anonymous person.. wth!)

    Smexy! You look amazing and will be rocking that winter formal! Although.. it's getting a little late for a "winter" anything isn't it?

    I never cure the boredom itch. It lingers and lingers until I somehow forget about it or spend all day saying how bored I am. :)
