Bwahahaha!

This photo looked so stupid, I had to post it:



While this pic isn't much better, I actually looked pretty sharp when I caught my reflection at work:



I guess it's a good thing I KNOW I looked better than I look... if that makes any sense....

Fun with pattern

Thursday's outfit for court and the Women's Bar potluck dinner after work, because there was no way I had time to change:



I was so stuffed! The chicken curry salad I brought seems to have been a big hit... thank you Wegman's. I really need to stop eating for the next year... I was a bit shocked at how wide I look in this photo:



This outfit was planned around the shoes, which I have never worn until now:



TaDa! I even was complimented on them.

My Photobucket was acting weird again, so no earrings pic today.

Jacket: Talbot's
Top: Ann Taylor outlet
Pants: Lane Bryant
Earrings: Premier Designs
Necklace: made by me with pendant gift from Mom
Shoes: Freeda's castoff Dimensions

What's black, white, and pink all over?

Me, apparently:



Which shoes to perk up the black-and-white? The red ones are still at the repair shop, my red patent ones are in the basement (note to self- bring up more shoes), my new Bass ones wouldn't go. Pink it is:



I thought black earrings again would be boring, so I opted to match the shoes:

Belt: from a pair of Lane Bryant pants that no longer fit

Actual heels!

I got a little daring today, mostly because I only had one court appearance, so I was willing to risk heels:



I'm wishing I had worn longer pants, because Clinton and Stacy of "What Not to Wear" would have endless fun with this floodwater look:



I grabbed these shoes I've had for ten years because they worked with the black-and-beige color scheme I had in mind:



I remember I saw them on a girl at law school, asked her where she got them... and went out and bought my own that day. The earrings I just got on clearance for a buck:



Hubby and I had Stinky AND his two-year-old sister with us for the evening:



Yeah... I'm whipped!

Saturday gathering

Saturday, Hubby and I went to a casual afternoon party involving ribs and something called "cowboy cake", which is corn cake with apple pie-filling topping. Amazing!

I wore:



And I pulled out this necklace I've had for about a million years, and rarely wear:



I think it needs a peroxide soak, along with my NZ fish hook I wore to the wedding a couple weekends ago. They are now both yellower than my teeth!

But I keep it because it's unusual, and I keep hoping I will find earrings that go with. Hasn't happened yet, though!

A good time was had by all, and I waddled out very well-fed

Visible Monday

Is actually Friday's outfit:



I'm posting it on Visible Monday... check the badge to the right! The photos aren't so fab, but I felt really pulled-together in this. I've had the scarf for ages... and only now have something that goes with it:



Earrings of serendipity- those odd little ones that work with more ensembles than I ever thought they would:



These shoes do not match the jacket- they're more orange-red while the jacket is a truer red with a tiny touch of blue, but I hoped they were far enough apart for it not to matter:



Hmm... maybe not the best idea... I'm thinking the red jacket may have been overkill, but I had court Friday so I had to wear one:



I broke down after work and took the shoes to the shoe-repair place at the mall for stretching.

Sweater: Freeda's castoff Apt. 9 (Kohls?)
Jacket: VanHeusen outlet
Earrings: made by Baby Sis
Scarf: I think I got it at a yard sale... must have been ten years ago
Pants: Lane Bryant
Shoes: Trotters

Catching up from Thursday

I upgraded to a Droid 3! Which has a better camera (8 megapixels vs 5). But it's taken me a few days to figure it out enough to resume my blogging.

Thursday's outfit:



I pulled out my cute little bracelet, not that it showed very much with the sweater (pic with different outfit):



It doesn't really go with the earrings, though:



And I broke out my new red shoes:



They're a little on the toecruncher side- maybe they just need breaking in?
