I work with a lot of guys who can use the guidance of a dress code,

Heh.

Oh. my. God. pull. your. pants. up.

I never say it, but I think it. With a suit? You don't bind the trousers below your hip bones with a belt. Really. Please.

My clothing today is the result of forgetting to set the alarm and getting dressed in 5 minutes while suffering from mind numbing cramps.

Stappy black heels, no hose, floaty black skirt and a red sweater. Sweater. What the heck?

Carrot Top in manpris. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Sometimes I think manpris are cute. THERE I SAID IT.

I vote this as the most unfortunate back-to-back posting I've seen in a while.

Passed by this burning auto dealership on my way to and from lunch today.

I used to wear T-shirts and jeans, and switched to rayon button downshort-sleeve shirts when I discovered they were more comfortable. (Looking slightly more professional is completely incidental.) I don't think I'd take a job that requires suit and tie, though I suppose going to business casual would mainly involve buying a few more pairs of khakis.

The shorts-wearing woman has also shown up wearing a jacket with no blouse underneath--I can verify this because it was definitely bra lace peeking through her clumsily pinned outerwear.

Oy. I do hope I keep my underwear hidden.

I won't get to go hide during lunch today. Am sad.

I'm wearing a bright blue American Apparel tee (of the thicker cotton variety, some of their shirts are too thin) and denim just above the knee skirt and black wedge sandals. Bare legs. Because it is Baltimore in August and I am not an idiot. Another important element of my outfit--necklace with tiny blue and green beads and a little clear um..plastic? encased bright blue flower.

I really don't know what I'd do if I couldn't wear tee-shirts in the summer!

Crocs: cute & practical or shoes of the devil?

I just got Owen a pair and he's decorating them with Jibbitz.

DH came home from work early so I have a choice: futz around on the internet or go to the gym and work out/swim?

I think Crocs are cute for little kids, but nsm for grownups. Mostly I think they're cute on Violet Affleck.

Oh, have I mentioned here how excited I am that my childhood crush wrote the script for Gone Baby Gone (Dennis Lehane book), which is coming out in October?? And starring Casey Affleck, which is the connection there.

Crocs = cute and practical. Em has a pair of fuschia knock-offs.

Think I need a pair myself.

And looks like no Gaelic Storm for us, but a movie instead.

Also? Joe sent me flowers. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Black lace trimmed tank, green and blue random "ethnic store" skirt (knee length), crocheted jackety thing, Birks.

Tasteful diamond studs and solitaire necklace, my wedding set, and a vintage diamond ring.

The usual. Though often, you could swap the skirt for yoga pants.
