Believe it or not....I am working pretty hard today. Tonnes of stuff to do before the holidays and I don't want to have to check in to work.
I'm all alone so I've got my shoes off, the heat going and the music going -- Perfect working environment.
What's not so perfect? Everything is closed so I had to go even further for my morning snack. And on the way I ran into some egregious fashion. Hey...I wore my bummy stuff today too...but I did keep in mind that I may have to leave the office at some point...I don't think the following people did:
In the category of: Almost...but not quite
This was a pair of ladies who attempted to celebrate the holidays with some colour -- deep purple and cranberry red -- paired with black. No problem there. But above the knee, bell shaped skirts in TAFFETA, are probably not the best silhouette for an apple shaped woman. Every time she walked her skirt would swing...like a bell. It was not flattering at all.
And her friend...well, let's just say I'm smacking myself in the head for perpetrating the same crime. Black pants, black flats, red long sleeve shirt and black sweater vest. It's my go to. It looks great from the front...not so much in the back. I've seriously got to rethink the whole thing. It's just too much...meh! Perhaps with 3/4 sleeves, or killer boots or shoes -- just something to pull it up a little bit visually. I'm in crisis! I'd like to think the extra junk in the trunk might help my look... but i"m not hopeful.

Okay okay...I'm also guilty of this crime too. Buffy how do you put up with me?? Very warm looking red argyle, wrap/cape, black tights, and black and white houndstooth printed, ankle height Sorels. Yeah, they're little and cute...but still. There's no snow on the ground. I wore my Sorels in too and promptly took them off. There's no way I could get away with going up and down the halls in them...and neither could you lady.
Though mine are the knee high, fuzzy, beastly Sorels worn by Yeti's; and yes I've spent a day tromping up and down the halls in them -- but I chalk that up to temporary insanity.
In the category of: Gah!! My eyes!! Why??!!!
You know who you are. Clearly shopping at Urban Something-Or-Other for the overly lycra'd tops. Apple shaped, mousy, and ALWAYS in the same clingy, stretchy, synthetic tops and leggings. Why do you do this to your self. Today she was wearing a peachy orange and shimmery white, thick horizontal striped sweater that had a crew neck in the front and a U-Shaped peachy/orange LACE panel in the back. The purple tank top that you layered underneath this monstrosity was clearly visible. Pair that with heather grey leggings and black Uggs!!! It was just too much. I did a double take! Can we still nominate people for What Not to Wear? It's called STRUCTURE!! Please please get some!
On that sad note...it's back to the grind for another few hours. Merry -Whatever -You- Celebrate- at -this- time- of -year -but- please -don't- be- offended- when- I -say- Christmas! and Happy New Year!
Unless your Mayan...and then...nice to have known you!
