Where:
Work and retirement lunch for a coworker. What to do when your dress is too short for work? Throw on some skinny pants and turn it into a tunic! Truthfully I was just too darn lazy to change so I took a chance on wearing this dress with pants. If it weren’t for the cap sleeves I would love this dress. Who was the not so bright designer who invented the cap sleeve? I mean it hits the biggest part of a woman’s arm and makes it look larger than life! Even though I hate the sleeves, I can’t resist a batik printed dress complete with pockets.

Anyone have big labor day weekend plans? We are off to see some Tiger football (of course!)

Where:
Work. I tend to steer away from wearing black in the summertime, but with fall weather right around the corner I decided it was okay to break out the black. One way to pack a punch with a neutral ensemble? Add a bright color like this pink scarf and heels. I doubt anyone would have noticed my outfit otherwise, but with the addition of a punchy scarf and heels, I got a million compliments. Just goes to show the power of accessorizing. They don’t call me ‘Pinky’ for nothing!

Where:
Work. Apparently wearing platforms to the office is quite shocking. Not only did EVERYONE comment on my heels, my boss started calling me Candy because he said these looked like stripper shoes! I think he is down in Human Resources as we speak (JK). Needless to say, these heels were NOT made for walking. I didn’t realize I had a meeting several blocks away from my building today and it took every ounce of concentration I had not to break my ankle on the sidewalks! The things we do for fashion. It was quite nice to be tall for a day!

Where:
Work. Warning: Sitting at a desk all day may cause wrinkles. And migraines. And the funk. I work in a vacuum that sucks out all of my creativity and energy and leaves me with wrinkles and migraines. Needless to say, Monday was not a fun day. Started with spilling my coffee (nope not homemade, my $tarbucks) on the sidewalk and ended with spilling myself all over the sidewalk. One busted knee, sprained wrist and bruised ego later, I crawled in bed and called it a day. Sleeping=coping. How do you cope with a bad day?

Sweater and Top – J.Crew

Ok guys and gals, my 10 year high school reunion is coming up in less than two weeks and I *GASP* have nothing to wear! Sadly I also just revealed how old I really am with that little tid bit of information, but let’s just pretend I am the age I look (um 12), k? It was a last minute decision to attend (with a little best friend type persuasion) and I have no idea what to wear. It will be cocktail attire (disclaimer: I am from the country, so to some that may mean jeans) so I am planning on wearing a great dress with an even greater pair of heels. I mean I do make a hobby of blogging about fashion and if I tell my classmates that I blog about fashion then I need to look fashionable, right? Right. I have fallen head over heels in lust with this black ruffled Anthropologie dress:
Isn’t it gorgeous? I mean I would have it’s babies it’s so gorgeous. Oh wait, I’m not having babies, but that’s a story for another day. And another blog. Moving on, while I am in lust with this dress, is it just too boring to wear a black dress if I kick up the dance floor in some hot heels? Like maybe these blue suede beauties (insert Elvis lyrics here) from heels.com:
Jessica Simpson Ellisy in Blue Violet
Anything has got to be better than this don’t ya think?
Or this:
And just for fun:
Perhaps I’ll channel my school spirit with some black and gold?
See that busted lip? That is the result of a girl falling off a pyramid and kicking me in the mouth. Great for homecoming pics huh?
And that we did!
So should I go with the black or keep on shopping and find something a little funkier?
Fun Fact: Have you seen the movie Radio? Yup, that’s about my high school.
