It's a wrap

I'm working on cleaning up my house and divesting myself of some things to try and get organized and I found this dress in a bag of things that I was planning to give away. I pulled it out and ironed it and decided to give it another try. I think I remember why I was planning to remove it from my wardrobe.

Dress: American Apparel
Cami: Tristan
Necklace: from a store in San Francisco
Boots: Cydwoq (last worn here)

I have a long torso so I tend to have difficulty with wrap dresses. The tie never sits on my waist. Here its lying on my ribcage. I kept pulling at the dress all day trying to get comfortable and to have it lay flat.

You'd think that a dress made out of cotton "sweatsuit" material would be the most comfortable dress ever but it's not. I'm putting it back in the donation bag.

As you can see, I have kept these boots. I was actually able to wear them almost all day today. I think it helped that these tights are a little thicker than others I've worn with these boots. Seems to have given a little extra protection from the elastics.

So this outfit was a bit of a bust. Hopefully I'll recover tomorrow.

No power suits here

I had my job interview today and since I don't own a "power suit" I had to make something up. That's more fun anyway!

Pin: "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot."
Sweater: Smart Set
Dress: Tristan in NYC
Shoes: Poetic License from ModCloth

These shoes make me happy so I thought they would help with my confidence. And a basic shirt dress is classic and not too flashy.

This sweater is on its last legs. It's stretched out and pilly and probably not worth donating so I'm going to pitch it out soon or relegate it to weekend wear.

I had to wear the sweater to cover up the scandalous tattoos. The HORROR!

My interview wasn't great but it was my first one in 7 years so I'm not stressing about it too much. I'd be sad to leave my current job since I like the work I do and the people I work with but it would be nice to have a change as well. So I'm being a little laissez-faire about the whole thing.

At the end I did decide to throw in that "I have a wonderful sense of style" as a reason for why they should hire me. Think it will work? It would take a miracle.

The back of this dress is pretty interesting so it try to not keep it covered up all the time.

So glad that it's Friday! Happy Weekend!
