The Frock Doc

Ugh. This Anthro skirt was way too long and poofy and everyone hated it: but I decided to try to hack it into something unique and to my style!

The original skirt was almost ankle length on me; and had heavy black markings which made me look very wide.

1) under construction! The pins are very pokey!

2/3) Current incarnation: in the future I can always trim the tulle to be shorter than the skirt for a third look.

What do you guys think? Suggestions?

ETA: #4 - The original - which unfortunately was MUCH more poofy than the model and longer on me :(

Yay, it's a YLF fav! I took your suggestions to heart and tried to keep it really simple to preserve the lines of the dress. The pumps and the pleats remind me of Kate M (whom my mom has kindly reminded me has had a baby now where is mine: thanks mom)

I love this necklace! It's fair trade and made from seeds!!! Super excited about it :)

What do you guys think? Good idea to keep this dress?

ETA: No NAS for me this year - my size is all gone in the dresses that I wanted. Drat. Oh well, I don't feel too bad about it - I like the thrill of the hunt sometimes, and I don't think they were PPP for me. :)

Whee! A day without patient care! As much as I love my job, these days without patient care are a welcome break. We are learning about cultural sensitivities today, so I feel a little culturally insensitive by wearing plaid! At least it's not a tartan plaid! ;p

I love this dress, but too short! :(

Good morning!

Ran late this morning because I was catching up on all the Wills and Kate's baby news!!

I have been relying on this "formula" a lot last week and for the most part, I have been pretty happy with the results.

Bow blouse & Blazer & Belt & Skirt

It works for my work anyway, because necklaces are so no no.

How do I differentiate between a "formula" that works and being stuck in a rut?

What an exciting day! I get the keys to my first office!

Unfortunately, it is a little rainy outside and I forgot my umbrella, so hopefully it will clear up by the end of the day!

I thought this dress needed to be worn this week because it is just too twirly to not do so! Very happy with it! :) Hope you all are too!

:) Now that I am fully rested from a night of call, I have looked through Angie's picks for NAS, as well as the online offerings. I can probably afford two (possibly three) dresses, but I think I will start with one dress, and try to shore up my existing wardrobe with good quality accessories!

Which dress do you guys like? :) 

They are all in stock or orderable, except #4 - because I'll have to stock that Halogen frock because they are all out of stock! #2 is an Angie pick.

I have a favorite, but I'll keep mum on that right now! ;) Thanks!

Good morning! 

I thought I'd try my luck at NAS too, since we have a new shipping option that isn't FiftySucks ... uh, FiftyOne ... 

I found a few pretty dresses that I'd like to try, except I'm not sure what to order. I usually wear a size 2 or 4 in dresses, usually a 4 because I don't like being very squished.

My measurements are 34/27/37, but according to the size chart, I should be a size 8? This doesn't make any sense to me, so I thought I'd turn to the collective wisdom of YLF to help me make some sense of what to order. :)

Size 4, right? :p 

PS: Any favorites of the dresses? I think I may order 2. May be convinced to order 3. :p

PPS: Also, love this outfit!

Oh, a resident's favorite job is to work the weekend of the summer fair, right? And people ask why I have no social life!!!

At least I can wear my favorite skirt! :)

Experimenting with the Anthro formula again today, and not quite sure if this is the look I am trying to go for, but it is ok. :p

Oi! I was in love with all of you ladies' beautiful trenches so I set out for one myself, knowing Burberry was out of my budget.

Took a risk on this one; it is beige, and usually that colour is terrible on me! I love this coat! It makes me feel very Dixon Hill with some Goldenpig mixed in!!

What do you guys think?

Ps: the loose button got me an additional discount (original $350, marked down to $110 with additional 30% off and additional $15 of for "damage" = girl math!)
