Daily Outfit - Kate - 7/29/10

Carrying on with the whole "procrastinating on laundry" theme, today's outfit is titled:

I HATE THIS TOP.



This top always makes me feel like my arms are freakishly huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge! Like I should be a sideshow act - "Come one! Come all! Come see the lady with massively disproportionate upper arms!"

And then I tell myself that it's not me, it's the shirt. And then I eat another Dove chocolate.

Stupid shirt. Forcing me to eat chocolate.

Stupid shirt: Sears, 2008
Skirt: thrifted, originally The Limited
Shoes: Macy's? 2008
Belt: Urban Outfitters, early spring 2010
Earrings: Mom
Ring: MacroSun

We're on the cusp of laundry day, friends.



But I have two more pairs of underwear in the drawer, so I think I can get KreAtiVe and survive 'till the weekend.

Today's outfit, I call "whatever was clean. Ish."

Tee: Forever 21, about 5 or 6 years ago

Hmmmm. I can't wear this right. I love this dress, but in my efforts to make it work appropriate, I managed to gain 15 lbs. Oops! On the bright side, I'm not in jeans?

Belt: J. Crew Outlet

Necklace: Gift

Sandals: Target

The Spoils: Green Eyed Soul Studio

My coworker, Misti, is a super talented jewelry designer. She goes by Green Eyed Soul, and HELLO. How gorgeous is her stuff? Because she knows that I love her work, she always gives me sneak peeks of her new designs. My mind is constantly blown by how she does what she does, and when I saw this necklace, it "spoke to me," as Misti would say. I wanted it then and there, but she insisted that I let her take it home and package it up for me.

Man, I wish the pictures did this piece justice. It's made of sterling silver that she oxidized, and it includes a sapphire (my birthstone!) and mood stones and just pure goodness. I love it.

You can view Misti's Etsy store to check out her beautiful pieces. I think her handmade beads are amazing, and I think you will, too!

I'm wrapped up like a cutter.



AND I LOVE IT.

Also, I promise I didn't get the new ink just to match today's dress :-)

I usually try and stay away from going super matchy-matchy, but when I realized how well these earrings go with the dress, I just couldn't resist!


They were created by Wai Sze - one of my fellow Bees, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day - I love them! :-)

Dress: Target
Wedges: still no idea
Earrings: Wai Sze
(fresh) Tattoos: All-Star Tattoo

Rain, rain, go away. Come back after I've taken my outfit pictures.
