The Frock Doc

Red dresses are not a standard in my closet by far - this orphan has been very difficult to style, but as it was the only red option, I guess it is time to come out and play!

I picked this dress up because the pleats and the peplum remind me of that Alexander McQ dress, but I think if I had sleeves on this dress like that one does, it would be more versatile.

There is something off about this; tried a bunch of belts and toppers and nothing seemed to really work.

Regardless, happy new year!

Well, almost. I wouldn't be too surprised because I am a messy eater!

I love mustard to mix with my navy, but I usually keep it far away from my face. But when I saw this dress and loved it, I wasn't too sure about wearing the "yellow bits" so close to my face!

What do you think?

Also, my cardigan is getting a bit lumpy. Makes me sad. :(

I have been informed that jeans in a professional way were needed today, but "friendly and approachable" - it's interview time for new residents! It's much more relaxing to be on this side of the fence for sure!

Had to fall back again on old favorites; but thought I could show you my new blazer! My sister picked it out for me! Love!

Work has been a drag. Feeling like my wardrobe is reflecting this. Not much exciting things going on and I am getting a lot of flack from patients and staff.

Want to go bury my head in the sand for a bit.

This too shall pass.

Uhh. It's been that kind of a week, having to rely on another FFBO today because I have a meeting really early.

This shirt does bug me today, so I may pass it on. Terribly cute though. Too big. Bah :(

Good morning!!

I have been playing around with "basic neutrals" in the last few days (including my black and white dotty dress) and found that this FFBO formula is really helping me get dressed quickly: a neutral outfit + a quick pop of colour. I have so many cardigans and blazers, I feel that this basic outfit can just go with any of them.

Another overnight for me (owls!), and I felt a little slouchy and bleh, so I pulled out the (happy) red cardigan with the slouchy pockets.

Is it cheating to have many variations on a FFBO? Does it just become formula dressing and defeat the 100% planned out nature of a FFBO?

Thanks!

Outfit is an old favorite for another overnight shift, but I wanted to share my new bag friend in oxblood who seems to play nicely with my jacket. :)

Keep/R my bag friend?

A triple pattern mix! Foxes, dots and a hidden plaid! What a lot going on! Hopefully not too much!

Had to pick up this sweater, it's all cotton and way too fun to pass up. I hope to be able to wear it more casually too and have it lapse into the date capsule.

Which reminds me: what does one wear to watch a judo tournament? :)

I think it was an American Target commercial than paired this dress with a red cardigan; I remember seeing the pairing years ago, but it suddenly came to me when dressing this morning! I think it works!

Back to work for me :)

Have a lovely day! Thanks for all your comments!

Hi YLF! 

I am looking for a new home for some of the dresses in my closet - they are mostly new or in very new condition. I am from Canada and would prefer to ship to CANADA or the USA.

While the dresses are free, it would be great if you could cover the cost of shipping. Active members only, please.
