I'm so hoooooood.

Okay, not really.

But, I feel a little hood in my bandana. 

In fact, Jeff came home and asked me whether I was a Blood or Crypt. 

This same husband, of course, commented on my bandana about five times in two hours. Apparently, he wholly approves of my wardrobe addition. I'll tell you a secret: I've had this bandana (in black, pink, red, yellow, and green--I had a bandana phase back in the day) for YEARS, but I never knew how to wear them until now. I'm so glad I didn't toss any of them since Jeff digs the look. Who knew?

The Look:

Top: The Limited (last year)

Pants: Target, I think?

Flats: Nine West via Marshall's (they're my something metallic for the link up)

Earrings: NY & Co.

I'm not sure where Mom bought her shorts or sandals, but I know the shirt is from Banana Republic outlet. (We were together when she bought it!)

The Details:

Occasion: errands with Momma dukes and casual dinner with Mom and Jeff

Where: indoors (definitely needed a sweater in BJ's)

When: 3-10

Comfort Rating: 8 (my feet aren't used to flats right now, so my pinky toes hurt by 10. I also forgot a belt, which meant I was hiking up my pants.) 

Restyling Option: When we went to dinner, I threw on a long cardigan for some warmth. To make the look edgier and more "night out" appropriate, I'd add a leather jacket and some heels (maybe a pair with some color.) I could tuck the front and add a colorful belt. For a fun day look, I could knot the shirt and wear it with a maxi skirt.

Octopus Hairs

Do you ever fight with your hair for fifteen minutes and still look in the mirror to find the tentacles of octopus hairs staring you in the face? No? Just me? Well then, you're lucky. I guess my hair wanted to actually wave hello to blogland. Please say hello in return so that it stops waving.

The day that I wore this outfit, these pants were not in the plan. In fact, I planned to wear these really cute polka dot pants from NY & Co (cannot find them online at all), but I had a serious wardrobe malfunction. Right as I was about to leave the house, I bent down to pick up my laptop bag. I heard an unpleasant sound, which I was sure couldn't be gas coming from my pants. Yep, I split the crotch of 'em, and I had bought them only three days prior. Quickly, I ran upstairs and threw on these pants. Allow me to publicly proclaim my love for these pants. Oh, pants, you're so comfortable that you feel like pajamas, which means you were the perfect pants to wear on pajama day at school. Oh, pants, you are so comfortable that it should be a sin to wear you.

I should have washed this shirt before wearing it (oh, whatever, you do it, too) because it sort of dyed the pits of the white jacket. Dangit.

These shoes are ooooold school (momma got rid of them, so I happily took them), but they're comfortable greatness. Comfortable seems to be the word of the day, folks.

That little patch of hair on the left is practicing its princess wave.

In case you wanted a view of the shirt, I took a picture for you. 

In this picture, I am trying on some clothes to replace the polka dot pants that I ended up keeping.

I'm just going to sew those bad boys.

I love everything at Gap right now, but I bought nothing. As a result, I decided that I at least needed a picture of these cute outfits. In fact, I have clothes similar to a lot of these, so I can use this picture for outfit inspiration! (You can't tell, but the pants in the middle have white polka dots on them. So stinking cute.)

My Outfit Deets:

Coat: Guess via Wilson's Leather (got it for $50 down from $280)

Pants & Shirt: Marshall's

Shoes: Naturalizer (so old that I don't know how you'd find them)--these are zebra print, which makes them fun

Blazer: White House Black Market (several years old)

Anyone else experience some wardrobe malfunctions recently?

I think I should keep a spare outfit in my classroom just in case that sort of thing happens at work.
