Dress Me Up Dollie

I was already committed to this dress before I realized how wildly inappropriate for work it is.  I suppose this is the good thing about working in an office with no dress code.  I tried to make it as matronly as possible, but in the end, it was a really short dress.  Oh well, I suppose.

I like these shoes a lot.  They're not my most comfortable pair of heels (thus far, that award is still with my Madden Girls) but they have a solid heel.  I hate that a lot of my stilletos have heels that wobble around when I walk.  There's a good chance they didn't do that when I bought them and they only started doing that because I walk on them the wrong way, but still...it sucks!

I wore this to my first day at the new office.  Still love this shirt, it flows very nicely.

The shoes I bought for Megan's wedding.  Unlike my Alfanis, I didn't wear them for the ceremony (obviously, because you can only wear one pair of shoes at a time), but I did for the rehursal.  Much fun.

Sweater, Old Navy; cami, Torrid; jeans, Dickies; shoes, Converse

Umm...sorry about the god awful pose/face/anything.  I wore this for my last day of work at the Winning Mark office and then up to Seattle.  To see my bestie!  I've had these sneakers since high school, they do right by me.  I rarely ever wear them because I feel super sloppy when I have sneakers on.  But it was supposed to be wet in Seattle and I only took one pair of shoes, so there it is.

Somehow we missed Wednesday's outfit.  That's OK, I can promise you that it was far too adorable for you to handle, so it's probably better this way.  This outfit took me to an uneventful day at work then shopping with Rachel followed by a family dinner.  Pretty nice day, I think.

I'm playing catch up today and probably for the next couple of days.  This is what I wore on Tuesday for work, an awful doctor's appointment and a volunteer event.  It was all well and god until I realized that the shoes I was wearing had massive holes in them.  That was when I was walking to the bus to go to work.  In the pouring rain.  I didn't exactly have a "good" day on Tuesday.  But that's alright, everybody has bad days.  And hey, I love that scarf.

The unfortunate thing about this wicked cute outfit (if I do say so myself) is that it was really cold in the office, so I ended up wearing a sweatshirt for the whole day.  Boo.  The great thing was that these shoes were as comfortable as one can reasonably expect heels to be.  I've always been put off by their childish print, thinking that if I wear them, I'll look like a kid dressing up in her mommy's shoes.  Or worse, like one of those women who only has one pair of heels and one skirt and is clearly uncomfortable in them.  You know I'm all about confidence.

I'm trying to play catch up with daily outfits.  Things have been maddeningly busy recently.

• Living For: My trip to Seattle next weekend!  Mike, Jeremy, Kai (one of Megan's friends) and I are all going up to visit Megan and Nat.  So excited!
• Loving: Crafting.  I've been spending my weekends creating things inspired by such blogs as Oh, Fransson.
• Lusting After: Anything vintage-esque.  Like these Louboutins.  I watched "From Here to Eternity" last night.
• Listening To: My iTunes on shuffle.  None of these are really characteristic of my taste in music, but they're pretty good none the less.

Shirt, Something Greek; jeans, Torrid; shoes, Nike

Today is going to be another lazy day, but I do have some errands to run, necessitating shoes.  I'm not typically a sneakers kinda gal.  I'm also not typically a sorority letters kinda gal (I haven't worn these since I was in college, shockingly) but this seemed appropriate.  I started with the sneakers, which I actually bought for a workout class Spring term, and then pulled out my weekend jeans (they have a giant tear up the back so I wouldn't dare wear them for anything other than running errands) and then decided a plain ol' T-shirt would top the ensemble off nicely.  E voila, today's outfit.

Shirt, Gap; skirt, Old Navy; necklace, Forever 21; knee-highs, Target; shoes, Charlotte Russe

Today has been a pajamas and slippers day.  You don't need another post about that.  So here's something I'd already cued up.  This outfit is from some time in late October, though I'm not totally sure of the date.  It was cold out, but not rainy, so it was the perfect day to wear wedges.  The idea of wearing knee highs with wedges had been rattling around in my head for quite some time, but I always chickened out when I'd think of wearing them.  Not this time, though!  This day, I wore them high and proud.  To pretty good results, I think.

Shirt, Old Navy; skirt, Old Navy; tights, unknown; Doll House

I almost called in and worked from home today.  But I didn't, I went in and it was fine until about 11 when I stopped being able to breathe through my nose.  It sucked.

These shoes I bought second hand, a rare move for me, given that I find feet absolutely fucking disgusting.  Second hand shoes are an extension of that.  But they're cute and they were something like $8.  So there it is.  They're not terribly comfortable, but they're heels.  I'm trying to accept that they'll never be as comfortable as my flats.  But damn, my feet look good in them.
