Re: Wednesday OOTD
Good call, it does look great. I totally bought a yellow shirt last night based on feedback here.
OMG! Fantastic! I love the shirt!! Love you in color!!
Dress- motherhood
Cardigan- Target
OK, so Hezz hated this cardigan on me last week. She said it hit wrong (it was a white one). But I don't know what to do and need halp. Many of my things are sleeveless and I cannot wear sleeveless to work. And since it's generally hot here, I need something not heavy to wear over my outfits. Can someone suggest something better?
HA! Christin, it's the damn self portrait. In that mirror in that photo I DO look skinny! I don't know what the story is with the optical illusion. But I've lost 11 lbs since Dec 4. I've had like 3 challenging weeks as that cheery a-hole puts it and they were more recent. Up .08 oz or 1 lb here or there. But 11 overall. 10 to go. And it's SO HARD! I ate a box of jellybeans in the car last week like I was Meredith Baxter Birney in a Lifetime movie! I swore I was only going to eat the "serving size". Yeah.
Thanks. I'm not trying to show my face til after the botox party on March 4! You look cute today too. I like the blue shirt.
SB- you need to come help me accessorize. Aren't you due for a Houston trip?
katie- that cut of bolero is really slimming on you
Mashed- you are the incredible shrinking woman. Each picture you look smaller
moo- your boobs look good today
HT- it looks like you found god. He is somewhere in the recessed lighting. Does that make God gay? What would the Catholics think?
nov- those shoes are hot
Wendy,- that reminds me of the cardigan you bought on our Dallas GTG. Wasn't that yellow? You look good in yellow. and lol at that dress
christin- why are their ovaries on your shirt? Are you announcing your pregnancy?
TSD- please be teaching the barbazon class on self portraits. You do the flattering angle so well. I think I remember that shirt from another picture. I like it.
I agree with Christin, the cardigan works with this dress.
I like everyone better in colors! Christin, I wouldn't think of wearing those colors because they're just not in my closet, but on you they look so bright and springy. Most everything I own is in the blue/purple/fuscia families.
Wendy- I definitely think you look better in the shorter stuff. The first pic is perfect. The stripes for me, are a no go on almost everyone. Not a fan.
Winged- I don't mind the cardigan because you're pregnant. If it was longer, I think it would look like a sack. I love the skirt? dress? the bottom half.
Moo- I love the dress. And you're always so dressed- I'm impressed by all your effort. I'd never wear a skirt/dress to any work and tights, even though I love the look of tights. I'm not a fan of the sweater but maybe because it's not a color I like. I would've liked the dress on it's own. Unless you're cold.
Winged, you would think! We're on travel restriction though so I don't expect any trips longer than a day anytime soon.
BUT my cousin is getting married on April 1st in Austin. I think we'll be stopping in Houston on Friday night to break up the drive. If you aren't too busy with the wee babe we'd love to see you. but I totally understand if you can't. you will have your hands full!

Winged, I agree with Christin about the cardigan. It works with this dress, but not so much with the other shirt. You need something longer for that one.
I'm too lazy to leave the reference desk and go take a pic, plus I kind of look like shiiit, so use your imagination:
Too-large black pants that are falling off my waist to a lovely spot right below my pooch and causing a muffin top while simultaneously giving me droopy ass.
Cobalt blue t-shirt and scarf from last week that I didn't even bother to tie in the cute way.
November- your shoes are fabulous. I could never wear them in this lifetime but I covet your cute feet.
Cali- I love the red. I love that kind of look.
Here is my necklace today. We sell them. I steal stuff from my store all the time. And Winged you've probably seen my shirt 100x because I wear it once a week. I think I wore it under my sweater to Rachael Ray or to see Taylor Armstrong.
Dress, Banana. Cami, ATL. Shoes, Banana. Backseam nude hose, Nordy's. No accessories, as I was late. It needs a necklace or something. Oh well.
kb, you look amazing.
I kind of hate you.
Thanks! I actually switched the jacket to a black cardigan I keep at my office when I got here, so maybe you're psychic. I thought it was a little more flattering.

KB -- what color is the backseam? The same nude color as the nylons?

It's a dress TSD. It has a black cotten tank top and the bottom is a really flowy light material. It's so comfy.
Here is a close up of the pattern since so many people have commented.
I am thinking after the baby of getting the bottom cut off and turned into a skirt because I love the pattern so much.
Yep! It's very subtle.
