Nothing can change the shape of things...


I wore this dress to campus on my long day. By the end of the long day I feel so spent and can barely put together coherent sentences. Although it made sense to schedule myself in a condensed manner when I was planning for spring I look forward to having my Thursdays back in a few weeks.


Although it is again cold enough for tights, there were a few days prior to my trip to San Diego when I went bare legged. I sort of wish I had worn nude pantyhose now that I look at these shots. Speaking of, I still need to give away some Hanes sheers to readers. I did not forget. I am just behind. Because of how busy things are as the semester wraps up, I plan to bundle them into a bigger five year blogiversary giveaway (for the end of April). I thought I'd only been blogging for four years but then I checked my archives and in fact it has been five. Wow!


Outfit notes:
Kate Spade Violetta Dress (similar stripey KS shirtdress here; budget similar with stripes here)
Anthropologie belt (similar here) and Two Paths trench coat (similar here and here)
Marc by Marc Jacobs pumps (similar here and here)
Kate Spade make up bag clutch (current season version here)
Target bracelet, Betsey Johnson watch, and Redraven studios necklace (which is tucked behind my collar in these shots, sadly)

I love that trench coat. I think I've seen it on several TV shows. And I love the little ruffles on the dress, such a cute little feminine detail.

*sighs* you know I love it! Striped dresses are the bomb. I need more bombs.

I'm still waiting for those glorious temps to come back- it's not bad right now but I sure would love to retire the tights for the season!

(and five years- wow, that is incredible! massive congratulations will be in order!)

Five years? I am impressed.

Where did you get that excellent trench?

I bought it a few years back at Anthropologie. It is a knock of of a much fancier Burberry.

Thank you! It is really only if I count my archival years in the side bar each as a year (if that makes sense... so I started in April 2008 but counting 2008 as 1 then I am hitting the start of year 5 this year).

I am still rooting for you to find this one for a good price in your size.

Jesspgh of Consume or Consumed said...

Thank you!

Thanks! I do think it is worth the little bit of extra effort even if the lighting doesn't always cooperate.

Thank you!
