Re: OOTD
Here is Claire's V-day ensemble.

Here I am. I promise I will put makeup on that eye (and the other one) soon. Bottoms are just black pants and black pumps. I was planning on wearing this sweater for the first time, but the look was less vintage-cool and more frump city than I planned. So, it's probably going back.
I wish! I have to alter everything pretty much.
You all look so cute!
And Nov, really with the hair. It is making me second guess cutting mine. Until I realize mine doesn't look that nice.
If nothing else, these posts are inspiring me to boost the economy.
For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.
Winner.
Bethie, I have navy and green, but I want red, and purple, and lime green, and...
I need help posting mine again, I suck
Aww, thanks Nov.
And Claire is just so cute. SO CUTE! I could eat her up.

Okla, I thought Barneys's new lovah on HIMYM looks like you.
Granted, she is apparently a stripper, and I don't think you look like a stripper. But she doesn't look like a stripper either. Until, you know, she is stripping.

I told myself when we started these that I was only going to comment if someone really caught my eye so it didn't turn into a compliment circle-jerk where we all try to say one nice thing about everyone. But today, so many of you are catching my eye!
November -- you look gorgeous. Always. ALWAYS.
HT -- I love that jacket!
Katie -- your skirt is super cute
Wendy -- I love the whole look, especially the boots and socks.
Jens -- of course. Of course I love everything you're wearing.
Wingy -- you are such a cute pregnant! Not hippo-ish at all.
CLAIRE!!! I die.
And here's me for today:

Cali. Dude. You look seriously awesome today. Seriously. I only hope you have not messed it up with white shoes.
Tell me where you buys your sweater.
Aw Cali! I love that sweater hard.
I started out the same way re: commenting on people's outfits. But I've been finding that I like so many people's outfits. And you know what else, what's wrong with a little compliment circle jerk? Everyone looks great and I want them to feel good about themselves dammit. It's so nice to start out the day saying nice things to people and having them say nice things to you.
Also, I fear ootd may end up wreaking havoc on my wallet eventually. I want so many of the things you people are wearing.
Angie, I was a little scared to google when you said "stripper", but she's cute, so I'll take it. Thanks.
Cali, I'm not sure I want to know, but are you wearing K-swiss right now?
Also, are these red khaki pants for men ridiculous? I've been looking for red skinny jeans for myself, and the BF said he'd been wanting some red chinos. I thought he was crazy, but lo and behold, this was at Gap this weekend.
Just don't look at my feets, and you guys will be fine. I was considering wearing boots today, but I plan on wearing heels tomorrow and I try to avoid non-tennis shoes two days in a row.
The sweater is my most favorite. I bought it at Macy's in November (the month, not the person) or December. I loved it so much that I bought it in the brown and in a dark gray.
I also forgot to comment on LHC! LHC -- I love when you wear your hair down like that. It's lovely. Promise me you'll never chop it off ever again. I'm jealous of you socks+boots people.

Ooooh I love that top, Cali! Vurry nice. November - I love your sweater too. And Buddha's purple top. And Bethie's stripey scarf. And I always love everything about Christin and Jen's OOTDs. Katie looks especially great today!
Since I'm a day behind, here's what I wore on my lunch date yesterday. As a side note, I'm really bad at dating.
Top - Ann Taylor
Cardigan - J Crew outlet super sale
Necklace - one of my favorites from Charming Charlie
This ootd business may hurt my wallet, but it's also encouraging me to do more with what I have and care more. I need to prioritize my wardrobe a little more. Two thumbs up.
Cali, K-Swiss tennis shoes were featured in this month's Lucky Magazine.
Just thought you'd like some vindication.
(they're still horrible with jeans, sorry)
link, they're in the slideshow.
we all fall down sometimes
brass and ballet flats
Faced painted by Coco Chanel.

Man, I could really go for a tuna melt.
Cali, you look fantastic! I'm going to ignore the shoes and instead continue my feverish work trying to find a cure for foot AIDS.
Wendy, you're like a celebrity, with your perfectly-tailored clothes.
I have never seen a bad picture of Jens.
I'm just rambling at this point.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
Anyway, I was out with my brother and his friends at a bar on Saturday, and got to talking with a really nice and really good looking guy. I gave him my number and he texted me that night and asked me out. I met him for lunch yesterday, and it was just...awkward. Like, I fumbled trying to think of things to talk about. Mostly because he's adorable and I like him. GAH.
"That chick wins at Penises, for sure." -- Fenton
Oh, vicki. It is supposed to be awkward on the first date. Just part of the dance, right?
Or am I remembering dating wrong? I just remember feeling so awkward on the first date with Mr. Winged.
