Short Shorts

Would you consider these shorts too short FOR YOU?

SIP: Tom Ford

I don't really know that much about fashion.  Like...I know what I like and what looks good on me but for the most part...I don't know much about fashion.  

I can look at a designer's portfolio and tell you right off the bat whether or not something from them would look good on me and I'm very seldom wrong...IF it fits properly.

LOL!

But I certainly know who I'd LOVE to dress me for something.

Based on the designers you're familiar with...who would you LOVE to dress you for an event?  

 

 

SIP:  Tom Ford.

Me:  Nobody asked you SIP.  Stoopit imaginary people don't wear clothes.

SIP:  Tom Ford.

Me:  *sigh*

Question about the Met Gala Dresses Posted Here

Of the dresses I posted...which TWO would YOU rock?

Tote Bags

 

 

I found this the shopper tote bag version of this at TJ Maxx for $12.99.  It is so well made it's ridiculous.  Whenever I'm going somewhere and will need my computer and I'm not going to be doing a lot of walking...you know...just in the car, out the car...I use it to carry my computer, notebook, chargers, etc.

I found it where the gift bags hang so look out for one if you see them cuz they are seriously awesome!

Here is the site:  http://www.emiliesloan.com/market-tote.asp

Here it is for $25:  Emilie Sloan Isabelle Shopper

Ahem!

YES!

Tell the truth and shame the devil!

If you had a body like Ciara's...would you EVER wear a dress like the one she wore in the picture below?

New PJ's or Sweats...New Waistline!

I buy my pj's and sweat pants in a size large so they are as long as I like them to be.  If they don't have a drawstring, I use grosgrain ribbon and a large safety pin by cutting a slit in the INSIDE of the waistband and threading the ribbon through using the large safety pin and tying a knot at the ends.

Waistline problem SOLVED!

GO ME!

Fashion Scenario...

You're out of town.

You brought regular clothes with you.

Nothing fancy at ALL.

Literally jeans and t-shirts.

Maybe ONE pair of khakis.

You get a call about a meeting.

A BIG meeting.

We're talking huge.  

Like...HUGE.

In the area you're in.

Day after tomorrow.

You don't have anything even REMOTELY right for this type of meeting with you.

Do you take time away from what you're doing to go shopping and try to find something which will look good AND fit you to wear or do you get someone to overnight something to you from your home?

Crisp White Shirt and Red Lipstick

eDress Me!

I bought this dress without trying it on.

It was long enough and stretchy enough so I figured I'd be good.

I tried it on for the first time today cuz I'm considering wearing it to this thingy and I'm wondering about this ruching along the waist and the butt area.  I mean...why was that even necessary?

I have other issues with it too.

What do you think?  Should I keep this and wear it anywhere?  Oh...and I forgot I had those shoes and ran across them today in my closet.  If I rocked this dress...can I wear those shoes with it?

eDress Me!

1.  I don't usually get down with Coach shoes but this pair made me try them on before I knew they were Coach.

2.  I can't stand the feeling of something between my toes but for some reason (prolly cuz they're plastic) my foot didn't slide up and have the thong thingy all up between them.

What say yall?  HotNESS or HotMESS? (SM)

Short in the Front...Long in the Back

GO ME!

What's your sneaker brand of choice?  Why?

Rain, Snow, Chilly

Okay...so...I've RSVP'd for two events today.

There is some kind of protest going on in the city so Robby doesn't think it would be smart for me to drive and take the risk of being in some gridlock.  (Everyone knows it's hard as hell to get outta DC ddriving when something is going on).

So...I'm going to take the train.

But what in the world does one wear to walk in the rain and go to stuff?

I'm not joking.

What would YOU wear? 

 

Wristlets

I've become fascinated with wristlets.  You know...something you keep in your bag filled with all of the TRUE items you need when you're running around doing errands like your phone, wallet and keys.  Sure...I need all of my other stuff so I keep a bag with me too, but I love just reaching in and pulling out one thingy and running into the grocery store or something leaving the bag in the truck.

And my back likes it too.

I saw a lady a couple of days ago who had a HUGE bag in one of those super small grocery carts and she was trying to put fodd everywhere but in her bag.  She saw my wristlet and said...I need one of those! 

It was funny to me that I used to be her with the big bag in the grocery store cuz really...that's hilarious that I'm actually doing something bag wise which makes sense.  I can't believe I've conquered my addition to big bags cuz I never, ever, ever thought that would happen.  GO ME!

Do YOU take a big bag into the grocery store or do you grab your wallet out of your bag and run in?

 

What I'm Wearing!

It was cold again this morning and I was feeling some kinda way when I couldn't get warmed up even though I did my cardio straight off.

I took my bath and decided that I was probably going to stay inside for the majority of the day so I dressed in some fleece bottoms, my monogrammed slippers that Princess Nina Gabrielle sent me for my birthday and a long sleeve white thermal henley.

Then I was in the office and I was still cold so I got my Ball So Hard University hoodie off the bench in front of the bed where I'd dropped it after Thursday's game and put it on.

Warmed me right on up.  LOL!

I'm kinda coordinated right?  Better than the gumbo grease booties right? 

SIP:  That doesn't count cuz you have them on now heffRa.

What I'm Wearing!

I've been watching Erica B. and Mimi do "What I Wore" and I've decided to start doing it too. 

Warning...these two women are fly, flawless and FABULOUS!  Me? 

Not so much. 

Fall Skirts

Do you have a lot of them? 

I just realized I don't. 

eDress Me Help!

Yall know me and my steelo.

I can dress up or dress down.

What I can no LONGER do, however...is choose business clothes.

My closets just aren't equipped as I've given away all but five suits or so and three of them are skirt suits.

I'm headed to California and I will be in back-to-back meetings for 4 solid days.

So...that's 4 business outfits.

But not business, business cuz yall know I'm creative-ish/business-ey.

And jazzy...yall know I will want to be jazzy.

I'm headed out to get my brows and hair done so I can be cute by the head.

Can yall help me out and comment with some looks I can duplicate?  I really don't want to wear heels all day, of course but since it's Cali...I can wear some of my comfortable wedge sandal thingys with a pant that goes to the floor.

SIP PSA: Bandage Dresses

Who in the HELL is Tabitha Simmons???????????????????????

And why is her shoe $2,185????????????????????????????  Evita

Top

What's the most you've ever paid for a shirt?

Boots, Boots, BOOTS!

I own a pair of these:

They are somewhere in my basement storage which is a nightmare of EPIC proportions.

I never liked wearing them anyway.

Why you ask?

Because I look like I am standing in two of these when I wear them:

Seriously.  They are WIDE.AS.HELL in the calf area.

And I have stick legs.

So then I bought a pair of shorter ones which zip up and I like them and then I found a pair that I like which aren't as wide and are tall.

Robby thinks I'm bat.shat.crazy about this type of ridiculousness about boots you wear in the rain.

Cuz he's a dude.

Am I the ONLY person who can't stand it when the boots are too wide?  Is it just me?  Is it odd?

 

Blackglama

Blackglama

I would TOTALLY rock this fit.  Seriously.

What say you? 

What do YOU use?

Booty Shapers Inflatable Boot Supports, Small, 1 pr

I don't know about spending $10 per pair of boots.  I tend to keep the stuff that was in them when I bought them.  What do YOU use as boot storage shapers?

Fall Fishnets

Would you wear fishnet tights with open toe shoes/booties?

3 Dresses

Visit MagsDirect.com, the source for cheap magazines.

I bought three dresses yesterday and this morning...I don't like either one of them.

Seriously.

*sigh*

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??????????????????????????????????????????????????

Would yall disown me if I wore jeans and a cute top to the talk back thingy?  Is that inappropriate??????

Yall get on my nerves...

LOL!

Okay...I'm looking for something different.  I'm tired of dressing up in froo-froo dresses with 2 hour statement shoes. 

That ish has gotten old.

I want to wear a dress I can rock some comfortable boots with, flat boots of possible.

Or...should I just rock some wide leg camel colored pants with a silk blouse?  Simple, classic and comfortable. 

No dress?

 

Tell the truth and shame the devil!

Do you have "bloated day" clothes?

Question...

Are you wearing heels today?

If so...how high?

Tell the truth and shame the devil!

If you had the body that could pull this off...would you ever wear it?   ASOS Slash Back Unitard
