Dot dot dot…
I am very, very ready for fall to start. We’re having a late summer here, and I’m so done with the warm weather! I want to wear tights and sweaters and know that it won’t be too hot at work. This got just a tad bit too warm for comfort towards the end of the day. I can’t wait for fall and winter to set in! While I was taking these pictures, I accidentally knocked over my brother’s worktable. *ahem* Innocent face employed! One of my friends says I look like Alice in this outfit. Because of the bow. And that’s okay. I like looking like Alice. 😀 I also…

The Blue Giraffe
Today was one of those days where I decided to change five minutes before I left for church– I have a dress that I love, but which I find hard to style. Mainly because none of my shoes really go with it, and it irks me. I had planned to wear that dress today– and I had it on and was all ready to go– but then last-minute decided that I needed to wear these shoes again, and I wanted to be incredibly colorful. Thus… the giraffe skirt and my new favorite shirt. I didn’t take very many pictures of this outfit (I took a ton of the other one),…

This is my workout face.
I have always been quite self-conscious about my butt and thighs, so it is a big deal when I say that I really like this outfit. I’ve never liked myself in shorts or jeans, because it highlights my butt and my thighs, whereas skirts tend to camouflage what I consider to be my problem areas. I credit the cardigan for part of the camouflaging done here, though, since it’s designed to fall gracefully in the front and creates a straighter, more flattering line visually. But exciting news! My family (aka mom, dad, and I) signed up for a membership to the YMCA today. This means I may become the woman with the magical shrinking…

In which I am just slightly scandalous. And also nerdy.
So I’ve had my shirt tied like this– with the exception of at work, where it was tucked in and belted– all day. Through antique-store browsing and thrift browsing while I waited for my check to come in to work, through lunch, through… the pictures, obviously. And I didn’t really realize that I had a bit of skin showing until I got done taking pictures and noticed… y’know… scandalous things. Oh well. It’s not like I’m flashing boobs or anything. It’s just a little upper-belly skin. This is my contribution to the world of scandalous fashion. I know. I’m falling fast. So I bought this shirt for the sole…

Mad Men Inspired
I’ve been watching Mad Men lately. Can you tell? I have to warn you, this post might be picture heavy because I LOVE this dress. I just bought it. It needed to be excessively photographed. I’m going out to dinner with a friend later today, and I am definitely going to wear this. Although perhaps without the fur wrap, because it’s a bit hot out for that. But seriously. Isn’t it gorgeous? The dress AND the fur. Which, yes, is real. I think it’s badger. I could walk around like this all day. Well, until my feet started to hurt because these heels are stinkin’ tall. I really don’t have…
