Because when it rains around here, it pours!! I kept some pumps at work so I could easily swap out my boots!
It was a rather nasty day with 14 hrs of consults and 10 hours to do them! I love overnight shifts!!!
Lol, I tried to look at it as extra time to wear my very swishy dress! :)

As we all know, fashion $ only stretches so far - and while I'm interested in expanding my casual wardrobe, this has caught my eye - the dress meets my length requirements for work (38 to 40"), but the pattern probably isn't appropriate for work (#2 detail).
I am not sure what to do about this - it wouldn't be a very expensive purchase for me (I have about $90 store credit, so it would only be about $20 for me); I can always sit on it and wait for something more fabulous.
I think though, this dress would be super fun to wear when I don't have patients - I already have forged out a bit of a reputation as a funky dresser, so I don't think it would shock staff too much. Starting next year, there is one day a week where I don't have any patients so I can wear whatever I want, and that will be an interesting experience, I think! :)
A "work but no patients" dress ... "going out with friends" or ... "wait for better"?

It came!!!
ETA: Whee! I'm so excited! I didn't think it would come this quickly and I totally ripped into the parcel like it was Christmas morning! I don't have plans to leave the house today, but I really want to take some time and style it and have some fun.
It has a beautiful hand-feel; some type of a silk-linen blend is probably my guess, and there are wonderful, roomy pockets, and the ?poly lined pockets feel so nice, and I can easily slip my iPhone in there without making a man-bulge (HAHAHHAHA).
I totally twirled a lot with this dress, and it feels so wonderful on! Need to call all my friends to see if one of them wants to go out to something (ANYTHING) tonight so I can wear it. WHEEEEE!!!!!! :D

Good Morning!
I found this really pretty pencil skirt when I went to take a few things back! What do you guys think? I quite like the versatile colours: it seems like it will work with blue and purples well, although I am not a huge purple fan.
Question one: yay/nay on the skirt?
Question two: this top is one of my fav tops and it sold out in three weeks. I found one in my size last night: worth replication? I sometimes get stalled in outfit creation because it is in the wash.
Another question: open or closed blazer? :)
Thanks!

Whee! My fav top comes out to play with one of my fav skirts! Twirl!!!
Does this blazer look better open or closed?

Well, I suppose it wasn't too much of a stretch for me to wear a dress, but was a good reminder for me to try something besides a skirt today! :)

Hey! :)
I had some time this weekend to pull out the sewing machine and tailoring a few pieces I had not passed on because I liked them, but were getting too big! And these are the results!
The top used to be a dress (I bought two and one was too big so I chopped that one down) and the skirt is my only H&M! :) hope you like!

After stalking this dress (Maeve Painted Plaid) for a very long time on eBay after I missed it at Anthropologie, I was able to snag this for $70 (thank you seller who mislabeled it!) - and they're willing to ship to Canada for less than an Arm and a Leg! :) I loved it since I saw it on Glee (a very dangeous show for me when it comes to shopping!)
There are -so- many inspirations I found online for adorable outfits that I can't wait to wear it - it is about 40" long (yay), so I'm hoping that Zooey D had it tailored - because I don't think that dress looks nearly 40" long on her :p (or those guys are huge, either or!)
Can't wait!
PS: June's budget may be consumed by these other pretty pretties - #7 I was able to snag for under $30 (thank you, mislabelled/misspelled on eBay), and #8 is not my usual style, but I really love it - and I will need to scheme to get #9 with a friend in Michigan :)
I AM SO EXCITED. I'm so weird, eh?
PS: And as I went to pay - #10 popped up. IN MY SIZE. I have never seen it in my size much less ship to Canada. MIRACLE OF MIRACLES.
