A Little Respect

French Connection tank, Bebe silk pants, Johnny Wujek for Modern Vintage shoes, Banana Republic necklace

Quite possibly my new favorite shoes?  6 inches!  I die!

Also, I hadn't bought anything from Bebe in years, but these pants are pretty nice!  And silk!  And on clearance!  Respect, Bebe.  Respect.

What I wore to Cloud-of-Tulle's birthday dinner at Catalan.  It was my 4th time there, and although I've enjoyed all of my past experiences there, this time was disappointing.  Everything tasted oversalted.

I was supposed to leave for Cozumel tomorrow, but both sets of parents are guilt tripping us about SWINE FLU EPIDEMIC.  We explained that the chances of contracting were low, it targets the elderly/children, the World Health Organization has not declared it to be a pandemic, etc...  

However, arguing with reason to asian parents does not bode well.

So like any good child, we relented and cancelled our trip.  SADDINGS.

So we're going to Hawaii the Bahamas (?) nowhere instead!

Looks like everyone else had the same cancel-and-rebook idea.  Continental says EVERYTHING is booked.  FAIL.

Back to Work

Kenzie dress, F21 belt, Steven by Steve Madden patent pumps

Got this dress at an After-Christmas Sale and decided to wear it as my First Day Back to Work Outfit.  Did you used to do this in grade school?  Pick a new outfit to wear on the first day back?  What am I saying - of course you all did.

The dress has such a pretty silhouette, which gets better when you belt it.  The skirt is sort of between a pencil skirt and a tulip skirt (there's probably a word for it that I don't know), and the little knot at the bottom created great folds and pleats all the way up to the waist.  The simple loose, cuffed sleeves even up the proportion between top and bottom.

ALL THIS FOR $22!!

Good deals <3<3<3

William Blake; Lord Byron

Forever 21 ruffled blouse, French Connection wide leg slacks, Nordstrom cardigan.

I look like a poet today.  A romantic poet, to be exact.  An Ode to a Grecian Urn-type poet.  It matches the house, which is cool too.

Pepper (pic #3) always looks like that.  She's so prim and pretty.  My sister and I always comment that we wished we were as pretty (and skinny) as Pepper.
