red and black and striped all over

Today, I am skipping scrimmage practice (and I don't even care!  I went to two practices totaling four freaking hours after work yesterday!  So there!) and maybe I feel a bit bad about it.  Also, it is about 70 degrees and sunny here in Denver and I LOVE it.  I took a lunchtime walk without a jacket and overall, today has been a pretty excellent work day, even if I'm super tired.

Let it be known that Ciela the cat obsessively smelled this cherry decoration for about a minute, and then made the kitty yuck face.  I don't know what she could be smelling, but this cardi is clean!

Shoes: Tsubo
Dress: TJ Maxx
...hi, Ciela!

Cardigan: From a consignment store for teenagers, originally from Forever 21
Check out the sweet unintentional bump in my hair!  Oh well.

Silver and Carnelian Ring: Target


This is what happens when I decide to play with the camera for too long...are you scared?!   What do you mean, "no"?!

Functional:  Yes!  All was covered, and if I wanted, I could sprint in this outfit.  4.8
Comfortable:  Yes!  No heels, perfect for the weather, stretchy dress...heck yeah.  5
Liked it:  For the most part.  I think I would have preferred this with heels, but the heels in question already gave me a blister this week.  Also, while it didn't look terrible, I am not so sure about the neckline differences between this dress and cardi.  4.5

Average score: 4.77

  1. That cardigan is too cute and I LOVE it with the striped dress. I do see what you mean about the neckline, but only because you mentioned it.

  4. Aaah! I just bought a dress like this at Goodwill yesterday! We can be twins! I've been resisting this trend, but these striped dresses really are flattering on about everybody, so I caved. Also: "the kitty yuck face" - HAHAHAHAAA!

  5. Yay, twinsies! It took me a while to get into the stripes too, but I am happily embracing them now. And seeing the yuck face never fails to make me bust out laughing. Cats are so funny.
