I went and did some Christmas shopping last night and this is what I wore. I was lazing around the house all day long and with husband working later on, I wanted to put on 'real' clothes (and make up!) and get out of there for a bit. I ended up only returning a few things (the impulse boots I mentioned), wandering around aimlessly, taking a break on a mall bench before eventually heading home. First, though, I picked up ingredients so I could make Caesars, pizza and a cheese plate for my hubs. When he got home, it was the first time he'd seen my hair since I got it done on Thursday evening (both nights I was already sleeping when he got home and in the mornings I was up and off before he was) and he was loving it. He immediately whipped out his iPhone and started snapping pictures of me, non stop (so cute). The outfit was a bit hit too as he couldn't stop raving about how much he liked it (score!).

Before After
So you want to bleach your denim? Cool. Do you have patience? Even better. I bought this Gap denim jacket at the thrift store in the spring with the intent of doing this DIY, however, when I got it home I decided I really liked it and didn't want to change it. Then, when I saw the photo above on the left from an outfit post, I realized I really didn't like this jacket as much as I thought and so it went to the DIY pile. I finally have gotten around to posting this, so sorry for the delay.
Submerge the denim in water until it's wet all over. Wring out and place on a flat surface.
Using an old Windex bottle, I filled it with bleach and sprayed the jacket. A lot. And when I say a lot, I really mean I ended up pouring bleach onto the jacket because spraying wasn't doing jack squat.
I used an old toothbrush to spread out the bleach I poured onto the jacket and brush it into areas.
I really focused on the seams. Once dry, I washed and dried the jacket.
Ta-dah! (more pictures here)

I got home on Tuesday night and immediately undressed and climbed into bed. I was exhausted. Sometimes I just do that, get into bed as soon as I get home (and we're talking late afternoon here, it's not like I'm working till 9pm). Last night was no exception. Fortunately, husband was home and he made me dinner and snacks which we ate together in bed while watching Sunday's episode of Dexter. So enjoyable and just what I needed.
I found the most amazing boots from Aldo that I have begged husband to buy me (for Christmas). These are not them. These are my second place pair. The ones I reeeeeally want are a tad more expensive (and up until about two seconds ago when I checked, they were sold out in my size - but are now back in stock, I'm having a small heart attack right now!). I've dropped every hint in the book to husband about them, and by hint, I mean blatantly telling him how badly I want them, every other second and showing him numerous pictures. I don't think I'm going to get them, I just have a feeling. In other shoe news, I totally impulse purchased these on Monday. Such a great price now and I need a new commute boot (aka what I like to call the boot I wear to and from work while I carry my four inch heels in a pretty little bag... or simply in my hands). Bonus, they are over the knee which is fantastic since I live in skirts even when it's 30 below and the knee-high commute boots I've been rockin' the past two years just are cutting it, as far as keeping the space between my skirt and top of my boots, warm.
