Dated?

I have always liked this dress because it is easy to wear and somewhat flattering.  However, I wonder if it is starting to look a little dated.  Not that that will stop me from wearing it, but I wonder if anyone else thinks the same.

Dress: Nine West
Cardigan: Target
Boots: Palladium

Green Dots

I know this belt doesn't exactly go with this outfit, but I needed something to cover up the fact that I could not zip this skirt up all the way (and still breathe).   Vintage is great but it can be hard to wear when you are waist challenged.

Shirt: Gap

Sweater: J. Crew

Skirt: ? via Goodwill 

Shoes: Nine West

Not Pictured: Ice Pack

If you want to know exactly what I am wearing - you need to imagine a bag of ice on my left shoulder (another casualty of yesterday's fall).

Time Management

This morning I ran 5 miles, went to the post office, and bought half a dozen cupcakes. All before 8:30am.   

My time management was greatly improved by this dress.  One step dressing at its finest.  I don't know why corporations spend millions of dollars on time management seminars for employees.  They should just buy them all simple dresses to wear.

Dark and Blurry

This photo has captured my mood today - dark and blurry. Coming back to work after a few days off is hard, especially when your weekend was full of concerts (They Might Be Giants!), food (if I ever leave my husband, it will be for the fig coca at this place (figs, caramelized onions, and goat cheese on a flat bread - amazing), accomplishment (I managed to run for 4 miles yesterday - a personal best AND I did some laundry so I no longer need to go to Target every few days and buy more underwear), and football (it wasn't pretty but the Jets won yesterday).

Dress: Nine West

Boots: Very Volatile

Skirt

Although you can't tell in the photo, this skirt is navy. It is also a charming conversationalist, votes Democrat, and is either trying to kill me by crushing my ribs or trying to save my life by reminding me not to eat so much. Not bad for a $7 find at Goodwill.

Wardrobe Malfunction

Today's wardrobe malfunction is fairly minor and more correctable than many of my past malfunctions but I was too lazy to take a new picture so I've cleverly hidden my gaffe with a Sneetch star.

Shirt: Old Navy
Blazer: H&M
Pants: Nine West
Shoes: Target

Easy

After yesterday's tragic wardrobe struggle, getting dressed this morning was a breeze. Because I was not limited to separates (no doctor's visits today!) I was able to throw on this adorable dress, some boots* and was done. I even had time to throw on a necklace.

* I should have take the time to put on socks under the boots, a situation I may need to rectify later.

tortilla chips and the pack rat

Today's outfit is sponsored by tortilla chips, packratedness, and exhaustion. The tortilla chips are the reason my hips seem crazily out of proportion with the rest of me, the pack rat in me is why I still have this shirt after 10 years, and exhaustion is what led me to put on this rather unflattering outfit and not bother to change.

Suit: J.C. Penny

Matilda of the Jungle

When I was in college and fancied myself a photographer, I took a lot of photographs of "junk", old gasoline cans, broken violins, etc. So posing in front of these dumpsters made me feel right at home.
