in hindsight

I had no idea this skirt had purple and green in it until I got to work today. Surprise for me! I also didn't know I was walking around with my skirt on the wrong way. I didn't realize it had a slit in the back (at the time I was walking around with it on the side and it was still stitched together) and I kept thinking how odd it was that my steps had to be so short....and I thought the zipper was supposed to go in the back, not on the side.

If I were to wear this outfit again (which I will...but I'm speaking theoretically here), I wouldn't pair it with the blazer. I think it just made me look short waisted and weird. I have a purple top that is more tailored and probably would look better. Too bad I thought I looked pretty good this morning! When I took my pic at the end of the day...I was like, "whoa."

After two weeks of vacation, not only was I excited about going to work, but that means several new outfits! Yeah! So excited. Santa gave me this outfit [read: mom], and I got tons of comments on it. Comments that I'll take as compliments. You gotta take what you get sometimes, right? I've decided to highlight a few of them for you.

I usually wear my hair down, but I felt like trying this >Daybook tutorial It's the one on "It's the Bun, Hun." I never would have been able to do it without the video tutorial and it lasted all day! I'll have to keep practicing though.

Comment by co-worker 1 today: "[My last name here], are you going on a job interview?"

Me: No, but if I were I guess I know what to wear.

Comment by coworker 2: "Wow, is it your birthday again?"

Me: "No, my birthday was last month."

Comment by coworker 3: "You look great! Kind of like you should be working in a New York office as a secretary...or something."

Me: "Oh...thanks...."
