Okay, I fully intended to remix the pink wrap skirt from
Monday, but I found Tuesday morning that the raw hem had begun to fray,
and I didn't think that would look very professional. Man, I really
need to get my finicky sewing machine in working order. Or, even
better, I should invest in some of this fabric glue I've read about.
Being a not-so-patient seamstress and a general lover of shortcuts, it
sounds right up my alley!Though my outfit inspiration was dashed by the disagreeable hem, I was granted a new muse when I went thrifting after work: this Forever 21 polka dot chiffon blouse. It's way too big for me in the best way possible. I loved wearing it today as a big, drapey top over cigarette jeans and also look forward to sporting it as a little cocktail dress.
I had the morning from hell but felt great in this outfit and got more than one compliment on my shoes. Then I came home from work to find a fat check (apparently it pays off to be stupid and overpay your rent) and a Mad Men DVD (shhhh, since I don't have a TV or cable, I'm still on Season 2) in my mailbox. With the blogosphere all abuzz about Season 3, I'm really excited to get caught up!
