Perfect Spring/Summer Dresses + My Style Monday + ...

I can't help it...when I'm nervous about something, I shop or I eat.  I'm a huge procrastinator, and I also have unhealthy coping mechanisms!  It's true!  Why can't I be one of those people who doesn't eat when they're nervous?  Although all things considered that would probably add to my shopping problem...annnyways, I have a huge board coming up on Friday, for a huge / important qualification at work (called a SWO - Surface Warrior Officer - pin).  SO, I have been working really hard, staying up really late, and ... shopping.  

And here are the fruits of my labor, one of which which (maybe two, if i don't spend that much money in our next port) will be en route to moi if I pass my board...

And I've been talking about my new And(semi-unhealthy) obsession with B.B. Dakota for a while now, right? Look at this article I just found!  Who knew it was all over Twilight??

Finally, my contributions to My Style Monday, as started by Short Southern Mama (check out her blog - SO cute!)...my five home styling requirements, in photo form (these are from photos already stored on my computer, so excuse the quality if need be) :

First and Foremost, my couch.  Z Gallerie Palisade Couch - the first purchase I made as soon as I started getting a steady paycheck, it's incredible and beautiful and so soft and down filled - I actually slept on it fo r about four months because I COULDN'T AFFORD A BED since i bought the couch...hahaha and you see now why i get so excited for clothes on sale!  Secondly, I love artwork and frames and monograms...I think i stole this from Preppy Bride at 2365, who was showing  how to make our own!  Thirdly, this beautiful, enormous hutch - i love white, and i love beadboard.  Fourthly (??), plantation shutters! and more white, haha.  and FINALLY, Christmas time!  don't worry, I am not a year round Christmas decorator, but I am psycho about our trees...at home I reorganize all of the gifts so they're aesthetically pleasing - I'm talking limit my family members to coordinating paper, rewrap poorly wrap gifts and hide ugly ornaments reorganization. 

Aw, that was depressing...I obviously have no home to put those things in (although you know my pink sleeping bag  matches my pink work out mat matches my pink iPod matches my pink sneakers matches my pink water bottle...I could go on forever.  it's kind of embarrassing).

Finally, look - perfect for dressing up all of my delicate spring dresses -
