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.

Consequences

Dear Boss:  If you are going to make me work 60 hours a week, you cannot expect me to be very sartorially creative by the end of the week.  Love, your very tired employee.

Stubborn

I wanted to wear these boots today and planned to pair them with this dress.  I couldn't find that dress, however, but stubbornly refused to give up the plan to wear these boots.  After trying on everything in my closet I finally gave up on my intention to look coordinated - but not the boots.

P.S.  If you live in the US - don't forget to vote today!   I did it this morning although my polling place didn't give me a sticker to prove it :(  

Happy Halloween

Do you like my costume?  I call it - woman who owns too many black dresses and leopard print shoes.

Dress: Forever 21

Black and Cat

I really like this outfit although it seems to make me appear shorter than I am.  I suppose a higher heeled boot is order next time I wear this combination.  Or maybe I'll finally have that growth spurt I've been wanting since I was 12 years old.  

Sweater and Skirt: J. Crew
Scarf:  Came with This vintage dress

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.

Wilma Flintstone, Esq.

Have you ever wondered what Wilma Flintstone would wear if she went colorblind and became a lawyer?  Well I think this outfit answers that question.

Quest Complete .... For Now

I don't want to jinx things but I think I found the perfect plain black pumps I've been looking for.  Although they have a fairly high heel they are surprisingly comfortable*.  I cannot tell you how many Zappos reviews I had to read to find them, but I think it was worth it.

*I am going to a charity event after work and will be on my feet all night - so keep your fingers crossed these don't let me down!

A Girl Walks Into a Target . . .

and walks out with a pair of leopard print pumps, a box of straws, some garbage bags, and a container of popcorn.  I'm pretty sure leopard print pumps will be the punchline of any joke in which I am featured.  What can I say, comfortable cute shoes are my  Kryptonite.

I'm a Little Glowing Friend

I resisted the neon trend when it appeared last year, mostly because I already lived through the first incarnation back in the '80s.  However, when I saw this skirt on sale I couldn't resist.  I think it will look really cute with grey tights and boots this fall.

Dress Code Violation

If my office had a dress code, I am pretty sure this dress might violate it.  I forgot that I had a client meeting and wore this because I am going out tonight.  I have a blazer with me (and, if I lose 10lbs in the next hour, matching pants) so I will not completely shame my profession.  One good thing about being a lawyer - the bar is pretty low.

2 plus 2 equals meh

While I like each of the individual items I'm wearing, when I put them together it just didn't work.  Sadly this realization didn't occur to me until after I got to work.  Although I am so tired that I might not have changed even if I was still a home.

Gateway Bag

You may not believe this but there was a time that I only owned one or two handbags at a time and never spent more than $50 on a bag.  Then one day I was browsing through Amazon.com and I saw this $500 bag marked down to $100.  I decided to splurge and the next thing you know I have 50 + handbags and I start a blog to track my attempts to reform my habits.

Damp

I should have taken this photo before I had to run to court in the rain.  You will just have to trust that I looked a lot better (or at least less wrinkled) a few hours ago.

Rained Out

I wanted to go for a run this morning but wimped out due to the rain.  I decided to use my extra time constructively, so I threw on the first thing I found and came to work early .... only to find our file server is down.  Sigh.  At least I have the internet to pass the time.

Dual Purpose

Not only is this book full of helpful information, it also hides my Easter candy paunch in this photo.  Unfortunately it does not disguise my poor posture, but there is only so much one can ask of a book.

Easy

If you have ever seen my Pintrest board you would notice I have a thing for Diane von Furstenberg.  Although my budget will probably never allow for an original wrap dress, I was excited to see this DvF inspired dress at the Gap yesterday.  Thanks to a sale (30% off in stores this week!) and coupon, the dress ended up costing me .97 cents.   Which is a bargain since I plan to wear it a lot.

back to Fall

The only good thing about today's colder weather is that I remembered to pull out my Frye Campus boots that I did not wear nearly enough this winter.

Whine and Cheese Party

This week has been exhausting. Even though all I have done is sleep, work on my Post It Note gallery*, and attend a (depressing) seminar on domestic violence, I feel as though I have been working non-stop for a month. My exhaustion has resulted in some pretty boring wardrobe choices - including this sartorial snoozer.

Leopard Power

I've been having a bad body image week - which I rectified today by digging out this leopard print pencil skirt and putting on some heels.
