No pants week continues! Well other than Monday of course. Today I decided to fancy up this black sweater dress with my obi belt, I haven't worn it in awhile. Added the argyle tights and like the result. Sometimes the simplest outfits are the most fun.
I had to laugh this morning though, I have worn this belt a number of times now. Apparently the Pants Monkey was just now noticing that the belt is made out of neckties. He's like "Is that made from old neckties?" I'm like yes, my blog friend Megan makes these, I bought this way back this summer. He pauses, then says "Well, you look cute today!" Nice cover babe. He's not always the most observant!
Dress - H&M from two birds garage sale
Tights - Kohls
Boots - Payless
Obi belt - MMD
Necklace and bracelets - S&D
Speaking of being observant, I was on my own last night for a bit as the Pants Monkey is part of a new beer club that was meeting last night. So since I had some time, I decided, I own the entire series of Friends and have never watched the set from beginning to end, so since Mr. Monkey isn't a fan, I'll watch them when he's gone. So I started with season one and observed how young they all were. And then I thought about it - they were younger when they started that show than I am right this second.
To further drive home the depressing factor, then I remembered how old I was when I first started watching that show. Let's just say it might not have even been super appropriate for me at the time. Man. Time flies. But I still get a kick out of that show. The first season was the best.
OK, so Cayla and I have every season of friends if you need any of them and we have watched (don't judge) the series SEVERAL times. I think this is a fabulous idea, and I swear, they get funnier every time I watch them!
ReplyDeleteYou are right about the simplest outfits being the best. I love the argyle tights with the rest of the outfit.
ReplyDeleteMy husband surprises me sometimes with comments about my outfits or a specific item. Sometimes I don't think he notices certain things and then boom! he says something that surprises me, lol. I usually don't think he is always so observant. Heather
That is one cool belt. Way to make a LBD really interesting! :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd Friends is always fun to catch... but yeah, it makes me feel old!
I love your argyle tights...they really jazz up your outfit! My hubby is not the most observant either when it comes to my clothes.

LOVE these tights and your gorgeous necklace!
ReplyDeleteBethie! ok! I LOVE THIS OOTD! The necklace makes it! Hold the camera out away from you and take a close up. That's what I do. Crop out the bad and voila! hahahaha. I want to see that necklace in details, lady!!!
ReplyDeleteNow off to see the other posts I have missed. My life has been so crazy the past week. Today is just for blogging!!! Yay!!! Thank you for your nice words and consistent visits.
Love the tights with the dress! Very cute. As you know I own the full set of Friends as well and I LOVE watching the show from start to end. (although one disc in season 10 doesn't work - boo!!)
ReplyDeleteOh men. My husband is the same way. He never really looks too closely into things! hahaha. I love how you styled the dress!

You look really cute! Simple is awesome, and you look very sleek!
ReplyDeleteKyle and I watched the entire series of Friends a few years ago, it took an entire summer! And we watched it about every other night.
Love how you used the belt on that dress:)

This outfit is cute & casual. We are both wearing boots, tights, dresses & belts today - layered and cute. I love how the Argyle Tights & Obi Belt match so well. Great Necklace, too.
ReplyDeleteOhh and Bethie I gave you the Liebster Award yesterday. Did you see it on my blog? I would love for you to answer those questions when you have some time. Thanks. Let me know if you'd like to Guest Post, too. Thank You. =)
It's sweet that your husband noticed you no matter what the reason. My husband can be oblivious at times. Anyway, Happy New Year to you, Beth. I love that you got this dress from twobirds yard sale...so jealous. It looks great styled with the obi belt. Thank you for dropping by, I promise that when I am finished with that sweater from Moth, it is yours...not goodwill. Dawn suitcase vignettes xo
ReplyDeletedid you see my facebook post about the legal drinking age last night...talk about old!! i have those same tights. i forgot i did, and after seeing you i need to pull mine out!
ReplyDeleteYour outfit is truly adorable, possibly one of my favourites of yours ever! I love the colour matching and the brilliant shape of the dress - plus a belt made out of ties? AWESOME!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI adore Friends too and I know series 1-4 off by heart literally because my sister and I used to put the videos on when we were teenagers whilst we did our ironing (yeh, who does ironing nowadays!?!?!) but I confess that around series 7-10, I'm pretty hazy on!! Great ideas!x
The belt and the argyle tights are both cute. I think that I was 14 when Friends came on, but I haven't watched those old episodes in a long time.
ReplyDeleteGreat continuing of no pants/trousers week! Love the tights in particular. It's funny that Pantsmonkey is called PANTSmonkey, well this week it is anyway.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes me feel even older is thinking about how I loved some of their early outfits... hated them in re-runs and now I"m thinking: "Hey, I love that (fill in outfit here). If fashion has had enough to cycle, wow... it has been a long time!
ReplyDeleteMegan's beautiful obi belt emphasizes your tiny waist, Beth! You look really chic.
ReplyDeleteAW! Love the tights with that obi. Silly Pants Monkey, what else could I recycle ties into! (Give me time and I will find more options!) The belt and tights really give a good punch to the LBD and boots.
ReplyDeleteI miss Friends. It was such a good show. Stupid at times, but heartwarming.
I love the obi, necklace and tights - the dress shows them off to perfection!
ReplyDeleteLove this dark outfit! It looks great and those tights - love them!
ReplyDeleteI love how you've fancied up the black dress. The belt and tights really make it into something special! I was never really that into Friends but a few years ago some friends and I found some VHS (!) episodes at a thrift store. We had a great time watching the show together!
ReplyDeleteI love the belt made of ties ! How clever! Great take on the inspiration, you had the perfect dress for it;

The silver/gray accents are very sophisticated and look great with the black dress. That obi belt is amazing ... I plan to make one for myself out of two thrifted ties. Obi belts are such a great, easy way to add some color and figure flattery to a look!
ReplyDeleteLove the obi belt made of ties -- I have quite a few of these myself! :) And my husband and I are die-hard Friends fan. We own the whole series and have watched it through many times.
