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! :(

It is really cute, but I agree, it's short! Can you layer a tutu underneath?

I agree that it is pretty short. A tutu is a great idea!

I love the lady like shoes with it. I associate plaid with grunge so that is the perfect little ladylike touch. For the length I have no suggestion...

I love your look - always perfectly feminine and chic. Never seen a misstep from you! I wouldn't worry about the tartan - lol! It's an homage, if anything.

Ok, I know the jacket covers the dress, but I feel like the dress fits you perfectly.

@ Ceit & Thistle - ooooh; I think a tutu would be a great idea under the skirt, unfortunately, they aren't that long so it won't really add any length, but it's okay for going to lectures and planning and paperwork all day. A lot of the other residents and staff my age wear this length to work, I'm just not too comfortable with it.
@ Sarah - I love grunge! :) Maybe I need to pull out my boots in the fall for this dress!
@ Helen - Ooooooooooh boyyyyyyy we need to spend more time together :) I always try to do interesting things and often they misfire!
@ Rachy - Actually; the dress is a titch too small for me - especially after lunch, or when I get my "pee baby" :)
Thanks, Shedev! :D

The dress is short but you look cute.

How do you get such great pictures with a cell phone? I've been trying, but the phone always ends up blocking half the outfit. I've tried reflections in mirrors like I think you are doing, but just can't get the angle right!
I don't think the skirt is too short, not at your age!

I like the plaid with your denim jacket. Nothing wrong with the plaid - you're not being disrespectful. On the other hand, if they were hot pants.....
r.e. the length - you're so adept at pattern mixing and the tutus are too short - do you have another lightweight twirly skirt that would work? And "pee baby" tee hee.

@ Joy - Thanks! I feel it's short too, but everyone at work insists it's not. I think it is. :)
@ Peri - I just experimented with a good angle - how does your phone block the outfit? maybe you can send me a pic which is not so good and I can help? I'd suggest standing farther back from the mirror, if that helps :)
@ Pil - RAWR. I need some plaid hot pants :3 ... it's totally a pee baby. I look about 3 months pregs sometimes with my pee baby and it goes away after. I asked my doctor about it and she thought it was the most hilarious thing ever (my bladder leans forward).

I love love love this outfit! It's short, but really - I don't think it's too short and you have fab legs! The shoes up the ladylike factor brilliantly!

This is a fun dress. I think in the fall with boots is a great idea!

I love this! Is there any seam allowance to let down the dress a touch? It is so fantastic with the denim jacket.
