Back to Work

Happy Monday!  I took a break this weekend to help my brother move and then I couldn’t move.  But now it’s Monday and back to work we go!

I am Wearing:

Sweater: H&M

Camisole: Target

Slacks: Tahari

Shoes: Christian Louboutin Sigourney

Belt: eBay

Earrings: Old

I’ve seen a lot of bloggers pull a belt over their sweaters and I thought I would give it a go.  I’ve always carried the bulk of my weight around my midsection, so I don’t think I would have ever willingly called attention to that area of my body.  I am still torn about it, because while I think I liked this result, I still don’t think belts and I get along very well.

I only added earrings for jewelry because I thought it would be too much with the belt and the shiny boots and more jewelry, but now I think I could have gotten away with a necklace.  These earrings are years and years old and I bought them at a thrift shop in California a long time ago, but I love the color and their unique shape.

I love these boots.  These were a gift from Mr. Fantastic a month after we got married.  I saw them on sale and I really wanted them so I texted him a picture.  He said I could go ahead and buy them because I’d “been a good wife for a whole month to {him}”, isn’t that silly? I brought them home and imagine my horror when it was sooo painful to even walk in them after 20 minutes.  I was NOT returning them and I had to make them work.  Luckily, I’ve discovered that with all my Louboutin shoes, there is a painful breaking in period. It’s not too bad, once you know and you are prepared for it.  I used to think I could buy the shoes and wear them out that night.  Now I know that I have to buy them at least a couple of weeks ahead of time and wear them around the house to break them in first!

Let’s all get back to work, now. Have a great week!
