jury duty


skirt and top: h&m; shoes: ninewest

so today i had jury duty... luckily they ended up not needing us for any cases.. but we did sit through a few justice of the peace weddings while waiting.. so that was kind of interesting.
this skirt was one of my very few purchases while in ny.. and my first time to wear it.. i figured it was appropriate for court. anyways i hope everyone had a good weekend! seriously.. skirt making will commence soon! :)

also the gorgeous tiffany from i am stylish tagged us awhile back..

here are the rules:

1_ Texas pride! Texans have ridiculous amounts of state pride.
2_ BBQ c'mon it's Texas.. and we know bbq.
3_ Diversity.. Despite many misconceptions Texas is surprisingly quite a diverse state both in its people and in the landscape.. from the hill country to the drylands to the coast... and no we do not all ride horses. :)
4_ Austin... me, roz and jeannie all went to the University of Texas.. so we know Austin... from 6th street.. to ACL fest..to SXSW.. it's just perfect.
5_ no state income tax... haha ok that's kinda a weird one. how bout this. Southern Hospitality.

  4. You're a knock-out in that ensemble. chic and elegant. I bet you were the most gorgeous jury member there.

    Thank you heaps for tag! That's first.. I've never seen this one. Interesting.. no state income tax? How does that work? Do you then have a separate one for the federal taxation?



    My aunt who currently lives in Washington D.C. did her doctorate there as well I believe.

  15. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT TOP!

    the ONLY thing i would do different... i have to be honest, i think the skirt makes it look a little frumpy... i dunno maybe a pencil skirt or something shorter... there is just something off about the two together!

    please do not hate me!

  16. I love that skirt. <3 My fondest memory of jury duty is being called for it. And then buying a ticket to go to the outer isladns knowing it was the same day as my jury duty and that morning waking up and having it cancelled. I was so relieved. <3
