It's not that I don't want to dress cute. Every once in a while I really do try and only end up reminding myself why it's safest for all if I just stick with my Eddie Bauer khaki's and LL Bean sweaters.
I have this cute simple dress that I picked up last year. It's classy for the office but it has no sleeves. No problem! Cardigan!! Even when I bought it I was thinking "Perfect! I can wear it in the office with a cute cardigan now and throw some tights on with it when it gets cold!" See - even I can think ahead!
But as I'm sure you've heard on the news - it's been a bit nippy here this year - even for us. So I haven't pulled out the dress and tights yet. But this morning it warmed up and with it being Valentine's Day I thought it would be a perfect occasion to break out a dress!
This dress is a three color block dress. So for a little added visual oomph I decided to wear black tights with a cable knit pattern instead of just plain old black.
In retrospect I should have left a pattern tight to a seasoned fashionista.
I spent TEN MINUTES trying to get the stripes of the cable knit pattern straight on my legs!!! TEN MINUTES!!!
Finally I said screw it and just opted for the plain black. Otherwise I never would have made it to work. (I wasn't going to make it on time anyway... this was taking so long I was bound to use up all morning on the stupid things...)
I just wanted all of you to know that I actually have it in me to try to dress well. But I apparently sabotage myself....

It took me an hour to get dressed for church on Sunday. I say give me one of everything in the Land's End catalog and I'm good.
I want to see pictures of this dress! It sounds adorable!
