Re: Thursday OOTD
I'm WFH today due to pink eye, so won't be posting a picture and instead will try to comment on everyone who has posted, because normally I suck at that.
shamwow - blue is a great color on you and i like the boots. also,damn you for mentioning fritos. i was just going to order a wrap for lunch, but now it has to be a wrap and fritos.
wendy - you may be short, but I covet your figure.
mashed - green is a great color on you. and no shame in thrifting. my mom was a legendary thrifter back in the day, she called the salvation army "sally ann's boutique". the male teachers at the HS where she worked would make cracks about my father needing a separate job to keep up with her clothing budget. little did they know she was sourcing all those blazers from the men's rack at SA and tweaking them with accessories and shoulder pads
kamikaze - i really like that top. super flattering and the color is pretty. cute earrings too.
christin - love the pockets and the shoes...i'm sorry you effed them up, i hate that.
moo - that top make your rack look awesome, and i would never consider a skirt in that color, but it looks great on you.
kb - see my comment to wendy. hot bod. dayum gina (hi HT). and i'm inspired to buy more dresses, they make you look so professional and polished.
lhc - you are blurry, but i like your headband and HBD!
moojunk - nice gams, and i like that color/top.
buddha - that necklace is awesome and purple is a great color on you. you also pull off the maxidress really well and i'm jealous of that ability.
winged - i love that maternity top, it's really pretty and distinctive. dagger and that blonde mop top kill me every time.
HT - your work badge may be my favorite accessory, but I also like your necklace. what happened to your prayerful pose?
essbe - i'm loving the bedhead
cali - i like that top. you are looking slim, lady.
lisa - i love your hair and that color is fab.
hezz - i like the black/blue combo. and you are pulling off the leggings, no problem.
Mucho likes purple nails and purple cupcakes
I don't think it counts as a vagina shirt if there's just one single ruffle. You need at least two to make a vagina.
I swear I'm not hiding my face on purpose! I just haven't mastered the art of one-handed pictures while holding my phone somewhere that doesn't block my outfit and my face. Plus, I'm zoomed in far enough that the tiniest movement makes for blurry pictures.
Hezz, I like yer makeup! It looks nice. I've been wondering where you were hiding.
Also, I realized I missed Mashed with my comments. I really like your sweater, Mashed, but I agree that it's too big.

i think this whole outfit is from ny & co. the jeans kind of suck because they are way too baggy and long. i overslept and literally got dressed in the dark today. hot mess! so let me distract you with something shiny.
earrings-kohls, necklace a gift
and here are my flats, i don't remember where i got them
Lisa - usually hemming is all I do. For suit jackets and other fancy stuff, I often buy 3/4 sleeves or have the sleeves shortened. I'm not particularly small ... around, but length is the biggest problem. (and rise on pants sometimes so that I don't have knee crotch, but that's less of an issue as so many pants lean toward low rise these days).
I've been slacking on ootd because I've been gone in the mornings teaching my computer class for seniors this week - oh my gosh you guys, I love them and am simultaneously so stressed out by them at the same time.
Anyways, here it comes..
Sham, I don't know how you could possibly be any cuter. I love that dress, and the whole outfit.
Wendy, LOVE the orange on you. That whole outfit it just sleek looking.
Mashed, did you lighten your hair more? I like the green with your hair.
Kamikaze, you have nice hair, and I like the shirring/ruching on the shirt.
Christin, ADORABLE dress. You need to wear more dresses. Love it.
Moo, that shirt is so cute. Plus, you look crazy skinny in it. And I like it with the yellow.
Kristen, you just look va va voom in everything you wear lately. Whoa, man.
Lucy, cute as always. Love the navy and green together.
I like that coral color, Moojunk.
Buddha, so girly! Only someone with your bod could pull off a column dress like that. you look so nice in purple.
Winger, your pregnancy hair is looking great.I like that flowery top too.
HT, another navy and green combo, I love those colors together.
Ha, I love it SB! you remind me of a Who from Whoville in that outfit/hair
Cali, I love the purple with your hair, and the ruffle.
Lisa, gorgeous color, and your haircut is so cute! I feel like you should do a little dance in a silent film.
Hezz, I love the leggings, I LURRVEE the tunic.
Pretty necklace and really cute shoes, Katie.
Ok, mine coming up.
So, I need to immediately run out and buy 47 new purple shirts, yes?
It's funny because looking in my closet this morning I though "Wow, almost every dress I own is purple or gray. I should probably branch out."
I got this dress two or three years ago at somewhere crappy (I want to say Dynamite?) for like 25 bucks, and I am still loving it. Bang for my buck, dude. The cardigan is Old Navy, and good old Aldo boots once again.

Adorable, Jens. I like seeing your hair down too.
Wendy, thanks.
I'm pretty short waisted so it's hard to find pants with no saggy crotch. It's easier when I'm wearing a smaller size.
So, there is an alteration they can do for knee crotch? Is it extensive, or an easy fix?
11/11/11 = 5 years. Woah!
Ive never even considered altering pants that way (I mean, like pajama pants I just roll at the waist). I just don't buy them.
11/11/11 = 5 years. Woah!
Jesus take the wheel, I thought you wore this to work today at first glance. I was like, SB, the hipsterism has gone TOO FAR this time!
I severely covet Kamikaze's earrings as well.

What glasses? All I see is boobs.
(I like those glasses a lot)
Ahh-OOOOO-ga! Nice cleave Fenton. The glasses are really cut dude!
Jens is adorable, as always.
we all fall down sometimes
brass and ballet flats
Nestthis.
No you ah!

I left the house in the leggings! But I pussed out on the shirt, I put this longer sweater dress on and sashayed shanted my way through aisles 2, 7, 13, and 15 in the grocery store.
Also, all of Flickr is down for zee whole wide world.

My suspicion is that it is a remote control for a camera of some sort.
11/11/11 = 5 years. Woah!
Ugh I got a surprise visit from my boss where I was working and he took all my fun away.
Hezz- you are one of the few people who can pull off leggings. I rarely think they look good on anyone, but you look great. I want to be you.
Katie I love your shirt
Lisa I love your whole outfit and dont think the pants look tight at all!
and thank you ALL for the compliments- I bought the shirt yesterday at Ann Taylor beauase I realize my entire wardrobe is black, white, grey and pink. I also thought the shirt showed too much back fat (stupid control top pantyhose) so I changed to this...
And thanks Lisa- I'm down almost 20lbs... I call it the "divorce diet" because you know- filing for divorce, moving across the country and starting a new job arent stressful at all
