Hepburn and Houndstooth

I have only gotten fully dressed twice since my productivity challenge.   I’ve been somewhat productive in spite of that, but I know for certain I can do better.  Today, having a lot to do and having slept late, I got up, did makeup, hair, AND got dressed… in a skirt, even!  Now, i’m not leaving the house today, so I didn’t even bother with shoes.  You may remember this skirt from this post.   I have found several things to wear with it since, but it’s really not flattering.  I’ll probably end up selling it.  I have never left the house in it.  As for my tee, I absolutely love it.  I wear it all the time.  It’s from Threadless, and if you’ve never ordered anything from them, you’re really missing out!

Tee: Threadless | Skirt: maurices

Friday night was my aunt’s surprise 44th birthday party, and our whole family celebrated every way that we do everything… a party in my uncle’s barn, complete with karaoke.  It was a blast, and we stayed out (with the kids wide awake!) until 3:30 a.m.  The only pants I had clean were my trouser jeans that are a little big on me now (yay for losing 4 pounds in a week!).  Those jeans are just for wearing with really high heels, because they are a mile too long for me.  I had to build my outfit around that, and it was tough when it came to comfy shoes.

How about my fat midsection?!  Note to self: Don’t wear bright colors in that area!  This is the cardigan I got married in!  I am in love with it.

I didn’t realize how big these jeans are on me until I saw this picture!  If I lose any more weight, I’m going to have to pass these on to my mom.  Will be sad to see them go.  They are my good-butt jeans.

The orange wedges are from Cato, circa 2008. They are so super comfortable, despite the 3+ inch heel!

I actually managed to get an outfit picture taken, but it’s definitely not good quality and I definitely was not into modeling.  We were running out the door to go to my mom’s for an early dinner.  My dear husband took the picture with his phone, so what you get is a low-quality photo taken in really bad light.  This outfit is nothing special, but this is how I dress most days since being unemployed.

There really isn’t anything more comfy than a boyfriend tee (which I bought on clearance at Target for $3 a few months ago and wear to death), jeans, and Chucks (this particular pair is literally 5 years old).  I’m going to a family party Friday night, so hopefully I will wear an outfit actually worth the time.
