Just call me Betty White

First of all, can I just say that you all are awesome - I really appreciate all the honest feedback on my not so great look yesterday!  This is why I love blogging.  I can be honest and say I think this stinks and we can all agree and laugh about it.  I love it.  I did take one of your suggestions (Tiffany) and tied the shirt at the waist to try and survive the rest of the day.  I do think it fixed the look, which is shown here below.


I'm still sending this shirt on down the line though because my 65 year old boss comes back from lunch yesterday and looked at me and said, "that's a pretty colored shirt, I have one just like it!"  Then she says "in fact, I almost wore it today!"  I politely laughed at that statement but it has pretty much sealed the deal that this shirt is on the way out.  I certainly don't want to be dressing like Betty White or something.  Even though I love Betty White, I think she's the bomb and I often say I want to be her when I grow up (in other words get old) I don't want to be dressing like her - or my boss - right now!


I much prefer today's outfit!  I just wish the weather was better this morning, these photos aren't the greatest.  I should have stuck to indoor photos, but the Pants Monkey was kind of in my way this morning (we may have both been running behind) so I thought, well at least it's not raining.  But it's not very sunny!  Yesterday was perfection, it was sunny and warm and lovely.  I'd love it if that weather came back!


I'm taking a risk on these shoes today.  I triple love them, but the last time I wore them was to Easter Mass and I was standing a lot and my feet were killing me after only a couple of hours.  I will have to see how an entire day will go!  And I guess I'd better not enter the construction zone at work today either!

That's all I got today.  Just promise me you'll say something if I start dressing like Betty White again. Sing it with me now, "Thank you for being a friend.  Travel down the road and back again.  Your heart is true you're a pal and a confidant."
