Friday night tapas for a girlfriends birthday! I bought this dress at the end of spring from Ebay and have been waiting impatiently for the weather to cool down enough to wear it. Right before I left the house I realized I’d better put a skirt on underneath. Once I put on my jacket and bag, the side of my dress rode up and I was really happy to be wearing that skirt!

These pants are my best purchase of the season so far. I reach for them so much, it’s sort of ridiculous. Like in yesterday’s outfit post, I can wear them as a suit. I can throw on flats and a tee and be casual. And to think they only cost $12 at Gap!
Before I took photos this morning, I was super proud of this outfit. I felt comfortable and chic in it. And then I saw the photos and realized my all black outfit and white stockings totally ripoff Michael Jackson.
So I’m kind of laughing at myself and hoping people on the street don’t immediately come to the same conclusion.
I was catching up with a girlfriend online and when she asked what I’d been up to, I realized something. So many of my favorite activities, like blogging and photography, are solitary activities. And most bloggers realize that when you want to get exposure for your blog, it usually means hours a day on the computer. Sometimes I’ll go for weeks before realizing that I’ve barely interacted with people in real life. Kind of crazy. So I’m looking forward to going to the Museum of Fine Arts on Saturday and viewing the Richard Avedon exhibit. With a real life person! Saturday the 25th is actually Smithsonian Magazine Free Museum Day, and tons of Museums throughout the country are participating.

As someone who’s gained a little weight recently and finds most of my pants sitting in the closet until I’m back to my normal size, it really doesn’t make sense to wear pleated pants to emphasize my hips. But they were so cute, sitting there on sale. Whenever I put them on, I feel inspired to wear some very masculine pieces. I can’t wait until the fall so I can wear them with super tall ankle boots and a schoolboy vest.
How goes your Monday? Usually I enjoy Mondays. I’m always energized and motivated to complete as much work as possible. Today…is a different story. I can tell that something is vaguely bothering me because I’m starting to rip at my nails and cuticles. I’m curious- what is your “tell” that you’re overstressed or feeling out of sorts?

My boss was on vacation last week, which translated to wearing my favorite, most unprofessional jeans to work. You ready for something scandalous? I’m not wearing a tank top under my shirt. Just a nude bra. Risque indeed, right? No? Well, I felt very adventurous.

From the past weeks that I never got around to posting.
My love for super long pants has been sated for now by these khakis. They cover my feet completely, even in high heels!

At a later date, I wore the denim dress unbuttoned over a pair of leggings to brunch, and my friends declared it my “art class smock.” As in, the giant button-down shirts you had to wear in art class during grade school. I’m very tempted to wear it with a carefully placed paint smudge on my face.
