11.18.08 In with the new!

So, I wore this boring outfit to work today. I felt fat all day because I am. This is a nice pinstriped skirt, but it's a little snug on me now. And you've seen it before. It was a Level 1 and I didn't wear a suit. Oops!

Enough about today, seriously. Today I got a box from my friend Barbarella. And let me tell you, it was SO exciting. As I was opening it and pulling each thing out, my daughter was all, "Are you going to cry??" HA! Seriously. This is amazing.

She sent me these three t-shirts! The Breakfast Club, Easy Like Sunday Morning, and I Hated Bush Before It Was Cool!

There was a fourth shirt that didn't make the picture because it got covered in smashed styrofoam balls. And it's kind of offensive, but I like it!

Then there is this jacket. Sorry the pictures are so shitty.

I might want some suggestions on how to wear it, but right now I'm thinking black pants. I always think black pants.

Then there's this shirt. Black lace. I know exactly what to do with this. Maybe even wear it with that jacket up there?

Detail.

Then there's this dress. I'm not 100% sold on it yet, but I do like it a lot. It feels like a robe!! And it still has the tags on it. :)

The arm holes are friggin huge. How giant is my armpit supposed to be, exactly? Am I supposed to be smuggling small children under there? WMD's?

The sleeve fit is also kind of funny, which I've found with this brand (apt. 9 from Kohl's - some stuff I love, other stuff I love but it fits all crazy like). When I raise my arm, the shoulder puffs up and it's tight on my bicep due to all that extra room in my armpits for child smuggling.

Overall, I love it. And I will probably wear it. The fit issues are minor.

Day 1 - Hell

So, I decided over the weekend that maybe possibly I would start taking photos of my outfits every day. NOT because my outfits are fabulous. NOT because I have a great wardrobe. NOT because I think I look cute.

Why? I don't know.

Because I don't mind making fun of myself. Because everyone else is doing it. Because I want to be like Erin. Because I don't have much variety in my wardrobe and tend to stick to the same things. Because if I show you what I wear, maybe you can make some suggestions. Because I'm tired of feeling like I wear a uniform. Because maybe if I take pictures of myself every day, I'll start to see myself differently. Because maybe someone will buy me a new wardrobe.

Because I don't know. Isn't that good enough?

On with the show!

Today was a Level 1. That means clients. That means suits. Ugh. Usually I break this rule, but I decided to go for it today. Oooh, I'm so rebellious!

Basic, boring, black. ALWAYS. You can see my work badge peeking out! (I covered my face with an Obama button!) I think the suit jacket is from Target, and the pants are from Kohl's. Or Target.

A close up of the shirt, because my boobs want your eyes to suffer from polka dot madness. I wear this shirt a lot and I have no reason other than it's really comfortable. It's from Ross.

My shoes. Black pumps from Ross. The toes are scuffed and yes, they are lined with dog hair along the bottom from simply walking the carpets.

These are the earrings that I wore. I couldn't get the detail in them, so this is what you get. I like them and I usually wear them with that shirt, because I think the balls match the dots. Strange, isn't it?

When I came home, I changed into this. This is a standard at home outfit. I obviously enjoy posing much more when I'm in comfortable clothes.

This is how I feel about this whole "document your outfits" experience so far:



And for fun, a picture that my daughter took, where you can see how horrible my hair is, plus THE LOOK ON MY FACE is gold.

The end.
