Up the Oiseau

Early blog today because I'm home from work waiting for my new mattress to be delivered. The one I've been sleeping on is 15 years old so it was definitely time to upgrade. The delivery guys said they would be here between 11-2. It's after 12 now and no sign of them yet.

I got to work at 8 this morning so I took my photos right away so I took an outerwear shot.

Shirt: Papillion (last worn here)
Scarf as sash: ?
Pants: Lilith (last worn here)
Shoes: BC Footwear (last worn here)

I'm not sure I really like these shoes. They may end up in my consignment pile. They aren't as cute as I had hoped - they just seem clunky.

I've noticed that a lot of things that are in style right now are very "little girl-ish". Looking at Modcloth and Ruche and some other online stores, all the dresses are short with Peter Pan collars or cutesie patterns. I don't mind dressing like that sometimes but it seems like a lot of the style blogs are overwhelmed with those clothes. Maybe I'm reading the wrong blogs?

Look! I'm standing a different way (hand still on hip). None of these photos makes me love these shoes. I do love this blouse though.

New dress

This is the new dress I bought when I got the bird blouse.

Necklace: etsy
Dress: Papillon
Shoes: Fluevog Fellowship Tennessee

Funny story. The hose I'm wearing are thigh highs that I got at Victoria's Secret. They stayed up pretty well all day until I got off the bus after work. I was juggling my purse, another bag and my phone when I realized that the left one had come unstuck from my leg and was starting to roll down. I tried to hike it up but it got away from me - down to my ankle. On a main street. During rush hour.

Ever lose your dignity in a public place like that?
