A case of the Mondays, #287
Hello, friends. I hope you all had a fantastic weekend, I sure as hell did. But I guess all good weekends that you want to never end lead to an inevitable bad Monday morning, eh? Ok, maybe that's just me. Somehow I thought wearing marigold tights with a loud patterned summer dress was a good idea, and halfway into my walk to work I realized that not only was it a bad idea, but I had to get them off my legs RIGHT THEN or I'd die of embarrassment of my allergy medicine induced insanity. I of course held off until I could dash into the bathroom at work, but now my not-ready-for-the-light legs are naked, scared and...effing freezing. A brilliant sun has given way to dark clouds outside, mocking my bare legs. Now I wonder if my legs look more ridiculous than they did in my marigold tights.
I tell you this story because writing my boyfriend a long whining email will result in either A. a reply that has absolutely nothing to do with what my email said, probably something about what he's eating for lunch or what the dog at his work is doing or B. a reply that says "life is tough toots". Hense telling all of you, dear readers, because you are a largely women who are probably like me and like hearing that you are not the only idiot who leaves the house in ugly tights or weather-inappropriate attire.
Luckily I'm feasting my eyes and wallet on this site full of vintage Etienne Aigner bags. Nothing warms me up like a nice cup of

My wonderful last week (besides a near-death experience in a cab) turned into a wonderful weekend and even a wonderful this week cause I don't care anymore. (I would say more but I'm afraid of employers.)
But I once wore a blue shirt and blue jeans, but I wanted to spice it up so I added some cream socks and my red shoes. I felt like a flag the entire day and wanted to get rid of the shoes.
i have some bitchin' vintage etienne boots that i lerrrrrrrv. check ebay, you can find some fer cheap! x
this post made me laugh out loud. omg, i was on my way to a party last week and caught a glimpse of myself in a store window and had that exact same feeling! of like, omg, what am i thinking!!!
that said, i'm sure you looked adorable :)
YOU are funny. I love it when you share these moments. I think we've all been there.
Although some risk and sacrifice is good for fashion.
And, I'm with Joanna, I'm sure you looked good.
hilarious! i'm right there with you sister. i have these moments all too often as i reach for the office door in the morning & catch my reflection in the reflection. some mornings i want to get back in the car, drive home, and hide under the covers for the rest of the day. sometimes you just can't get it right, no matter how hard you try.
Loved this story - I tend to overdress ridiculously and only sometimes regret it (I once wore a vintage fur capelet with a pencil skirt and 3/4 length leather gloves to run errands - but old people on the street loved it!).
