I am exhausted and it shows on my face in the morning (I also look like I have a mouthful of water or something). However, my motto is "Fake it till you feel it!" so I will coffee myself up when I get to work and fake it until I'm cheery and match my blouse.
I have actually worn this silk blouse as a dress, but now I look at the length and wonder what the hell I was thinking.
This is another pair of shoes from my NYC trip with mom:

The wooden platform is extremely uncomfortable. Numbs my toes. Hence, Dr. Scholl's to the rescue!

Now I can wear them all day at work. Of course, I won't actually be WALKING anywhere in them; that would be foolish.

Jacket in case I get chilled, my beloved Betsey Johnson bag (all the pockets inside have burst into the lining, but I won't give it up!), and my silver flats. And of course, Inigo, who is somehow jealous of my picture-taking.
I love Betsey Johnson - I have a leopard bra and thong by her from Lord and Taylor in NYC.
I love this look. I have a similar dress which has given me some ideas.
ReplyDeleteAnd the shoes, well worth suffering for!
Thanks! I discovered after wearing the dress that it's actually polyester and is fully washable! Bonus! It's the best immmitation of silk I've ever felt.
ReplyDeleteI do love the shoes. :)
