DAY SEVEN - Monday already?

Ugh, another Monday morning, and as my friend Andrew pointed out I look a little pissed off to even be awake, let alone pulling together another outfit for the 30 Days of Dresses. But, somehow I managed to gather my shit, and despite the grumpy face, I dont think I did too bad. I was vain enough to try a "glasses on" and a "glasses off" photo and so thats why Im still holding my glasses in this pic.

The breakdown: Today I am wearing my second favorite skirt from Gwen Stefani's line l.a.m.b. (I have 3). And altho I do love me some Gwen, her clothes are a bit price-y for this bargain shopper. I remember when I first saw this one at Holt Renfrew and I almost impulsively bought it at full price. And it would have been worth it too. Its green and beige and yellow plaid screams springtime and the lining is striped with the l.a.m.b. logo and the back is cut to show off my ass in the best possible light. Seriously, I love how my ass looks in her skirts. You cant really see it in this photo, but there is a kick-pleat in the back that gives it a total retro feel. Anyhow, I stalked this skirt and visited Holts once a week to see if it was still there. I watched as it was marked down and then finally it was put into final clearance and thats when I scooped it for 60% off a couple months after first spying it. I dont always have that kind of patience, but this time it totally paid off.

I dug around in my closet and found this blue v-neck sweater (altho I was wearing a strappy sundress yesterday, today its cold as ass again, hence the sweater. Gotta love Edmonton weather). Not sure where it came from originally, but its a good sweater in a pinch.

Finished it off with a little Michael Kors on my feet (oh these are the same as the black ones I wore the other day, except these are dark cherry, however, poor lighting really doesn't show them well) and I was out the door for another thrilling day at the office.
