Oldie But Goodie

If there is one upside to spending months only wearing clothes from floor of your closet - it is when you do bother to look for something hanging up, you find a great skirt you forgot you owned.   Sadly, my ability to write coherent sentences has not yet been found.

This outfit is much cuter in person.

Rescued

Last year I decided I had gotten my wear out of this fab Betsy Johnson skirt and I put it in a pile for consigning/giving away.  As you can tell, that never happened and now the skirt is back in rotation at least for today.

Grimace is a Klutz

I like everything about this dress except for the fact that I feel a bit like Grimace in head to toe purple.  Enhancing the effect is the large bruise forming on my left shin from where I slammed my car door against it.

Belt: Lina Pelle



P.S.  If you don't know who Grimace is, this blog post will give you some awesome enlightenment.  

Too Late

I realized too late this morning that I have an olive colored blazer that would have been a better choice than this predictable one. At least with the navy if you squint you can pretend I'm wearing a suit.

At Least My Hair is Clean

If I was a better blogger I would celebrated today's 500th post with a super special outfit and maybe some flowers. But between the heat, my need to be in court today, and, let's face it, laziness, you get this instead.  I'll do better soon.  Maybe.

What Does Madonna Do?

I love this top/tunic but I don't wear it often because the sleeves are a little snug.  I've noticed this in other shirts as well.  While I have had issues with my body size - I have never considered my arms too big (too flabby - yes, too big no).  And yet I find shirts increasingly getting smaller in the arms while remaining the same in the bust and waist.  Is it just me?  Probably.

Casualty of the Liberal Arts

Here's a math problem they don't give you in school.  Matilda goes to Target to buy some  running shorts with a key pocket.  She finds some semi satisfactory ones for $15 and this dress for $7.58.  She later decides to return the shorts and keep the dress - making her part of the 1%.  I think.

Today's outfit is pretty boring and wrinkled.  It must be Tuesday.

Appearances Can Be Deceiving

My co-worker told me I looked amazing in this dress.  Which is especially flattering because I feel awful.  I don't know if it because I tried running this morning in 80 degree heat (BAD idea) or if it is because I haven't slept in a week or because I have a stressful trial coming up - but whatever the cause my insides do not match my outsides today.

RAOK

Although we have never met in person, my friend M clearly knows me very well.  I was lucky enough to be the recipient of her amazing "Random Act of Kindness" this weekend and got a box full of amazing presents - including this necklace.

Intrepid

It probably doesn't look like much, but this skirt is quite a miracle worker.  It is made from some fiber that keeps everything in place and makes you feel as if you spent the weekend eating vegetables and drinking kale smoothies, when, in fact, you ate 16 kinds of ice cream and drank a few pitchers of margaritas.

Lucky combinations

In case you were wondering, I did get dressed on Friday but I was so miserable in my outfit that I decided to spare you all from looking at it.  When I got home, mr. deathstar wanted to go out so I jettisoned the uncomfortable outfit and grabbed the first dress and sweater I saw.   I liked the combination so much that I wore it again today.   


Did you all have a good weekend?  I ran 8 miles on Saturday morning, sat on the beach for a few hours and then had some friends over for dinner.   We made a very yummy (if I do say myself) salad consisting of raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, greens, candied walnuts, goat cheese and a vinaigrette.  Sounds like it wouldn't work but it was really good.  


Sunday was a repeat of Saturday but with a short 3 mile run, a much needed pedicure, and we ate the salad ourselves.  Now I am counting the days until next weekend.  How about you?

Muskrat Love

This post doesn't have anything to do with Muskrats, Love, or the Captain and Tennille, but I am pretty sure it would be a better post if it did.

House Dress

I've been wearing a variation of this outfit all weekend - cotton dress, bangle, comfortable shoes.   When something works you might as well stick with it.

Mad Attorney

Today I am going to a seminar on foreclosure defense strategies (I live a very glamorous life).  Although I usually use seminars as an excuse to dress down, I've noticed that many attorneys dress up for them.  So in an effort to blend in, I threw on a skirt and heels. Although I am the only person in America who doesn't watch Mad Men, I know enough about the show to think that this outfit has a 60's vibe, which I really dig.

Juror Number 0

I was supposed to have jury duty today, but at the last minute I found out I did not have to appear. I was really excited* until I realized that it meant that I had to go to work instead.

*Serving on a jury is actually interesting, but waiting to be chosen (or in my case rejected) for a jury is not interesting at all.
