Buy it Or Leave it? Black Dress

I love the texture! Not quite fit and flare and not quite a sheath.

WiW: In favor of bookending!

Ugh. Missed my alarm this morning! Woke up 40 minutes late, but will hopefully make it on time! A quick grab and go again!

I thought of my go with everything light pumps, but I think that the darker colour actually works better here ... Maybe because of the contrast in the dress and the dark cardigan?

Which do you guys like more? :)

Thanks!!

WiW: Ultimate Grab and Go! Out of the house in five minutes!

Got my first rapid callback: was out of the house in 5 minutes! It's funny how little anyone cares about no makeup or what your doctor is wearing (minions!) when you need them urgently!! Lol.

Most of the other staff grab and go scrubs but I usually do tshirt and jeans with flats so I can sprint if I have to. Couldn't find any jeans this AM in 30 seconds so grabbed a skirt! :)

This has to be the plainest outfit of mine in awhile. I think the skirt ups the look a little!

My patient was fine. Pics were done after I came home: lol. No patients were harmed in the creation of this WIW!!!

WiW: Showcasing Statement Prints?

Sometimes I am pretty happy when a dress or a skirt can stand on its own to be interesting, but I find that sometimes I do have additional struggle of not wanting to overwhelm!

I hope I did okay here: I really like how the city changes from dawn to dusk (great for a call shift, right?) so I tried not to interfere with this pattern.

3 Items, 6 Outfits - But I don't like all of them (aka girl math)

Just messing around in my closet tonight - and found three items (a dotty top, a dotty dress, and a pencil skirt) that can technically be used to make six different outfits.

Of course, if I included all of my toppers and could swap out different dresses and different tops, I would in theory, have infinite combinations of clothes to wear.

I have realized though - I don't like most of these combinations, and I would never wear them out of the house. This is why in theory, I could make 6 outfits out of 3 items, I never would.

Pic #1 - Dotty top! :)

Pic #2 - Outfit #1 - Dotty top + pencil skirt = I can see this working, with a black cardigan or maybe my red blazer

Pic #3 - Outfit #2 - Dotty dress + dotty top = I can see this working too; with a simple necklace or earrings. Pic #4
detail of layering which I surprisingly don't mind; not usually my cuppa tea, but the dots match enough, I think.

Pic #5 - Outfit #3 - Dotty top + dotty dress as skirt = just tied the top and tucked it in; not too bad, same theory as Pic 3 and 4, same dots, just reversed. Pic #6 - 
Dotty top + dotty dress as skirt = not too noticable that it's tied :p

Pic #7 - Outfit #4 - Dotty dress solo = not something I'd wear. I don't like the neckline and bare shoulders. I'd pair with a jean jacket or a cardigan before wearing :p

Pic #8 - Outfit #5 - Dotty dress + pencil skirt = not something I'd wear without a topper, same reason as outfit #4

Pic #9 - Outfit #6 - Dotty dress + dotty topper + dotty skirt = maybe for someone who likes ALGO? This just hurts my eyes :p

I think this is why a fully integrated "capsule" would never work for me - the aesthetics of what I like is too different. That being said, these three pieces can make three outfits I'd wear as is, and five outfits I'd wear with the addition of a jacket or a cardigan! :) I guess that's still pretty good girl math!

WiW: Tutus and Dots!

Whee! It is definitely a dotty and tutu day: the mornings are a bit cooler, but we still hit the high 20s in the afternoon.

I aim to taper the poof with a fitted blazer. The colour scheme today is not too exciting, though! Hope you all still like! :)

WiW: Academic Plaid (ETA: Plaid Pics!)

Yay! New med students! I thought I would celebrate their academic achievement with some pretty plaid!

The lady who sold me this dress told me that if I wore it to work I need a shirt under it. I find this advice amusing. Lol. Yes!!!!

Does this work?

  • Cardigan: Forever 21
  • Top: Dynamite
  • Dress, Belt: Anthropologie
  • Pumps: Naturalizer
  • Necklaces: Modcloth
  • Watch: Fossil
ETA: I found some stock images for an ebay seller who is selling the same dress; it's so old that Anthro doesn't have pics anymore. Boourns :p But I still love it. It has pockets - aweeeeesooomeeee!
