Watch Out You Might Get What You're After

I have been looking for a wool Fisherman's sweater for what seems like forever.  Every time I find one it is either too tight or scratchy or unflattering.  Finally I found this one on eBay for super cheap.  Although I initially wanted cream, the black is pretty versatile.  The downside if this purchase?  I want to wear this sweater every day.

Coat: ? (left over from my plus size days but the cut makes it seems intentionally oversized)
Jeans: Old Navy
Boots: Eric Michael (on super sale at 6pm.com)

On the Go

I will be spending tomorrow and Friday in court, so I decided to make today casual day at work.    Plus after putting in 30 hours of work already this week - I think I deserve a treat.

Wrinkled Jeans Friday

I have been battling insomnia all week and developed a routine whereby I wake up at 1am, watch Murder She Wrote, do some on-line holiday shopping, play on-line Scramble, and fall back asleep at 3 a.m. and then wake up at 5:30 am to go running.  The result is that I'm half way done with my holiday shopping and I've logged at lot of miles, but other domestic chores (such as ironing) have fallen by the wayside to my sleep deprived brain.

Versatile

Remember this dress from the summer?  Here it is again worn as a blouse.  I almost wore it as a dress over the jeans (remember that trend?) but decided I the leopard shoes were edgy enough.

Objects in Photo Are Larger Than In Real Life

I am pretty sure that in reality I don't look as lumpy and out of proportion as I do in this photo.  But I am too lazy to take another photo to test this theory.

Ah-Ha!

I purchased this shirt at least a year ago on super clearance.  It was missing a button which I had to sew back on.  Unfortunately my sewing skills are poor and the result was it looked weird  when I wore it buttoned.  No willing to give up on my $2 investment, I held on to it until finally I realized I could just use it as a layering piece.  Ah-Ha!  You can't tell from this photo but this blazer is a lovely navy/black/green plaid (blackwatch?).  I plan on getting a lot of wear out of it this fall.

Classic

Although the brilliant Tim Gunn keeps trying to assure me that a classic white shirt is an essential wardrobe item, , I have never felt comfortable in them.  Maybe I just haven't found the right one.

Shirt: Bass
Jeans: Old Navy

My necklaces went into hiding in the above photo but I am wearing these as well.

Hidden Objects

This photo is like a hidden object game. See if you can find the cat, chunk of cat fur, cat ball... see a theme?

Wear It - Green Crocs!

I've had these sandals forever but have never had a chance to wear them until today. They are astonishingly comfortable and perfect for a rainy day (if you don't mind wet toes).
