Press One For Easy

Running late?  Toss on a wrap dress and tall boots (to hide unshaven legs) and a necklace to distract people from your dirty hair.

Ode to Skirt

Many years ago I owned the best skirt in the world (bsitw).   bsitw  was from J. Crew and did remarkable things for my figure and my wardrobe.  She went with everything and was neutral enough that I could wear her once a week and not feel bored.  It was a sad day when I realized I had literally outgrown her and the chances of me being a size 2 again were pretty much non-existent.  I can only hope that bsitw has found a new owner who loves her as much as I did.

Like bsitw, today's skirt is black wool and from J. Crew (albeit factory).  While not quite as versatile and flattering, it is comfortable and pretty cute.  And that will do.

Classic

I am so glad that 1.  I remembered I had these jeans and 2.  they still fit even after my weekend eating binge.  I am also happy that I "splurged" on this sweater ($6 thanks to some returns and a discount). I expect I'll be wearing it a lot the rest of the summer.

Too Much?

I found this dress in the back of my closet this weekend.  I bought it for $7 at Target ages ago but it didn't fit properly.  It is still a bit too snug (I hope the 5 minutes I spent trying to get into it this morning doesn't count as forbidden exercise) but I decided to wear it anyway.  I had planned to wear a plain black blazer with it but at the last minute switched it to this one.  Not sure if it is too much black and white - what say you?
