As me and my boyfriend’s relationship has progressed over the last couple of years, my love for his little teacup Yorkie, Dexter, has grown as well. He is hyperactive and can be notoriously fickle, but there are times (usually when we have sufficiently tired him out) when his sweet, cuddly side comes out. Sometimes when I am sitting on the floor typing on my computer he will march himself right next to me, lie down and make sure the whole side of his body touching mine. And then if he is feeling extra cute he will re-adjust himself and put one little paw on my leg. My boyfriend sometimes jokes that he knows I will never leave him because I couldn’t bear to say goodbye to Dexter… and that may very well be true! 
By the way, is it tacky to share how much I paid for a piece of clothing? Oh well if it is, because I’m happy to say that I got this pretty ‘golden mustard’ pleated skirt for about 85% off at Gap the other day, paying a grand total of $12! I never shop there but decided to wander in because I had a bit of time to kill, and found this little gem floating in the sales racks!
{A better look at what I wore, at Ikea later that day}
Wearing: Mackage coat, Jacob lace button up, Gap skirt, Wolford tights, H&M knee high socks, Zara booties, Joe Fresh jewelry
Your bf’s dog is so cute! Awww…and it sounds like it loves you very much, too (resting his paw on your leg? Too cute!). The pic of it licking your chin is precious!
Now that I’ve finished gushing about the adorable dog, I’ll comment on your outfit hehe…Lovely combination again. $12? Total bargain and very pretty, too. Not tacky at all to share the price.
I love the mustard skirt! Your bf’s dog seems to really love you! Great photos! =)
aw such a cute dog ^^!
and wow just 12 dollar! that is an amazing price for such a great skirt!
I;m not into mustard.. but I have to admit that this does look great ^^!
Awwww such a cute doggy!!!
and I hope its not tacky to say how much you paid, I do it with all my outfits if I remember the price haha…I like showing my readers you can dress well for less

what a great deal on the Gap skirt!! i love how you paired it with a lacy cardigan and knee high socks. and dexter sounds so cute!

The last picture is my favourite! That dog is so cute. I love my boyfriend’s dog, or dogs actually, too, but his mom took them back to hong kong

Okay, you with your lace shirt and textured tights and socks and booties are WAY too cute!!! I love this! You look absolutely beautiful. Quirky and fun and put together. What a great outfit!
Come take a look inside A Working Mom’s Closet
Aww Dexter and you are so cute together! And I can never find anything in Gap, but that skirt is awesome!
I love the Gap haha.
I also loved that skirt but they never had it in my size when it was on sale! Tragic.
Glad you picked it up though, looks stunning on you.

i;m gonna go to jacob and get that lace top cause simply love it. is it from their new collection?
btw it isnt tacky to tell people you got an amazingly great deal for a fraction of the price.
what is tacky is when people throw huge numbers as to “i paid $3000 for a bag”.
u are the least tackiest person i know so u should never worry about that.
unforunly somebody who i used to admire has commletly changed my mind about them after seeing them use this kind of tacky display of wealth.very dissaponiting as I thought they showed a lot of potential.

Oh not tacky at all to reveal how much you paid! Never be ashamed to reveal you got a good deal! At least in my mind, fashion is very related to shopping which for me is synonymous with price points and good deals.
But anyway, I love the pleated gold skirt and it looks darling with the lace blouse tucked in!
The yellow shirt suits you really well! the snapshots of you and dexter are so cute
such a good deal too!
I don’t think it’s tacky to share how much you paid- I love hearing about other bloggers scoring bargains! That is such a pretty skirt
star-crossed smile
You make me want to run to Gap right now! Too bad it’s almost midnight and they are already closed!
One of my top fave picks! You’re really beautiful!

These pictures are too cute – seriously. I don’t know which is cuter – you, your outfit or your pup!
So cute!! That skirt is a bargain! right on trend with the plaits and only $12!

What a great find with the skirt. Your dog is adorable-I’m dying to get a pet but my boyfriend doesn’t like having them around (too much work, fur everywhere, etc).
Wow you got an awesome deal on that skirt! I love the bright yellow colour, it’s one of my favourites. And the coat you’re wearing is amazing as well….you seem to have a lovely selection of coats. It’s definitely a good idea when trying to look fashionable during frigid temperatures. I should follow your example, this winter doesn’t seem to be going away too soon.
Funny coincidence: I also saw that exact same skirt at my local GAP store a few weeks ago and I was absolutely in love with it. THE SADDEST PART, though, was it was a size 12 and the last one on the floor
You lucky, girl! 
I want a puppy, too! It’s one of my 2011 New Year resolutions. Well, not so much of a resolution, more of a… goal? hahahaha…

Wow I loev the top..lace is my favorite fabric, and the skirt is just gorgeous!!
Great outfit, and sales just rule!! You should feel proud for still finding items at sales.. I am not so lucky all the time.
You’re always so stylish – even when walking the dog! Adorable
Those pictures are adorable, and so are your outfit!

Aww, Dexter is so cute. I always wanted a tea cup Yorkie! They’re so mischievous and adorable.
And hello, loving your deal on that skirt! I can’t remember the last time I went into a Gap but you’ve inspired me. Haha.
jen- ur dog is so so adorable. i wanna squeeze it, hug it and lock him in a cage — lol i sound like Elmyra…not sure if you remember the tiny toons.
you outfit is so adorable. the jacket and the skirt is absolutely gorgeous.
The lacy top is so darling with the skirt! What a steal at $12…!! GAP has the best deals when it goes on sale.
Aww Dexter is so cute. I love that you look so happy in every picture with the little fella.
