Week in review: January 31

I spent the past week completely trapped in my house due to the horrific weather we had here in Dallas. Yesterday I was finally able to escape, and finally managed get my hair cut (I was starting to resemble the Wolfman - my hair gets really, really bushy if I go too long without a trim. I felt gross.) I also made a visit Northpark Center and curled into the stacks with a pile of books at the flagship Half Price Books on Northwest Highway, one of my favorite places in Dallas. Is there anything better than spending an evening reading in a bookstore? I think not.

If there was one good thing about being trapped at home this week, it was the opportunity to concentrate on blogging. Here are some highlights:

• I continued my Thrifting 101 series with tips regarding how to shop at a thrift store; 
• fantasized how an average woman would pull off Christian Dior's spring collection;
• was inspired by the True Grit silhouette; 
• dressed like a goth adolescent preparing for her Bat Mitzvah; 
• gushed about my feature in this week's IFB Links a la Mode; 
• wore a yellow cardigan to fight against snowy weather doldrums; 
• and answered questions regarding determining blog content for Fashion Beauty Friend Friday.

I've really, really enjoyed reading everyone's comments (please keep 'em coming!) and am especially thankful to have so many new followers! Y'all have no idea how much your feedback and interest means to me. If you're visiting my blog for the first time, please consider becoming a follower, tweeting with me on Twitter, or becoming a Facebook fan. As a relatively new blogger, I get embarrassingly, ridiculously excited when reading a new comment or gaining a new follower. I appreciate you all so much!
