Last week I was feeling fun and a bit silly one morning. I have so many (black) suit jackets but sometimes I get into a routine where I wear the same few.
That morning, I
decided to wear this jacket that ended up making my outfit a bit more Victorian
than I planned. I loved how it turned out although I’m not sure if I was
exactly work-appropriate. And yet, no one said a thing.
This is actually a Nightmare Before Christmas jacket from Hot Topic that I bought last April. The inside is lined with Jack's head.
The pictures were taken around 5am before I was fully ready to head out the door. If it makes me laugh or smile, I wear it!
On Friday I put together another outfit that I thought was fun. I always think of this dress that I bought from Dress Barn several years ago as a black and white version of Sally's from The Nightmare Before Christmas. I matched it with a black jacket with white stripes (also from Dress Barn). It was a little cartoony... and all the better for it.
Both days were non-teaching days so maybe no one notices me when I'm sitting in an office (although folks do come in and out all day). But, I do amuse myself.
Love the pun and both outfits! Definitely have to make a ruffly NBC jacket one day!
ReplyDeleteHa ha thanks!
DeleteI need to work on my sewing (lack of) skills.
Happy face! :-D
ReplyDeleteGwee!
DeleteI love that blazer and you have a nice smile!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sylvie. After a lousy work day, your comment almost made me cry it was so nice!
DeleteYou look very animated for 5am! ;) Not sure I could manage to put together such a nice outfit at that hour! Actually I am sure, I couldn't! Its a gorgeous blazer though, I am a sucker for stripes.
ReplyDeleteAnimated or delirious :p
DeleteI always love the way you put things together. More is more, then add some more! You do look a bit too perky for 5am.
ReplyDeleteCoco Chanel once said "before leaving the house, a lady should look in the mirror and remove one accessory." Ha ha ha Shakes head! That's just so wrong.
DeleteAdd one more, I think. More is gooder, excess is best. :)
DeleteI often think... "Yeah, you need one more piece" ;D
DeleteFantastic - and very chic - outfit. I just love the back of that jacket. Swoon!!!
