My Intentions Were Pure

(I can't wait to wear this dress as an open jacket over some jeans or jeggings)

My intentions were good. I promise. I got dressed in this little frock (thrifted for 2 bucks)and set out for church. Somehow, I ended up at a restaraunt eating pancakes, a hashbrown casserole and bacon. What can I say, God knows my heart WANTED to go to church. Doesn't that count for something? It has to. Somebody woke up drunk this morning. I woke up and got dressed for Jesus. I just didn't quite make it. Atleast I got dressed...right? Right.

Thrifted Belt and Dress

Charles David Clutch

Aldo Shoes

Guilt for not making it to church: Me

Does it count if I told you that the pancakes were the best pancakes ever?

Also, I found this silk dress/jacket/ in the nightgown/robe section of the thrift store. The lesson is...look everywhere for hidden gems while thrfting.

Loyalty

I so didn't want to go out last night. Two of my favorite movies were both on at the same time and I was laying deep in my bed. I only went out to celebrate my good friend's b-day. But trust, had she been just a mere acquaintance...I would have stayed snuggled in my Snuggie flipping between Brown Sugar and Why Did I Get Married. But if I am one thing...I am loyal...thus I got dressed.

Cardigan: Zara

Top: Anthropologie

Tights/Skirt: Target

Belt: Thrifted Vintage

Clutch: Charles David (I wear this clutch out!)

Earrings:Forever 21

I remember the days when I would go out and buy an outfit for any night out. Ummm...yeah...those days are over. Now I try to find ways to rock a Snuggie in public with heels.

(I so remember my aunt rocking these very belts in the late 80's and 90's! I wish she would have kept them. It would have saved me 4 bucks!)

Sidenote: I didn't know fishnets were so taboo. I had a high school class mate tell me that my image sure has changed over the years...while eyeing the fishnets! I guess they are kind of "zexy" huh. No wonder people were looking at me when I wore them with my leopard shoes...to a funeral! LOL. What? It was cute!

P.S...one of my BFF's said I looked like Wonder Woman in this outfit...I kinda like it!

By the way...I will be participating in the "Stay Fabulous or Get Slapped" Challenge hosted by Erin over at Work With What You've Got. Basically, the rules are to dress extra cute (whatever that means for you )and if someone crosses path who is NOT fly...you slap them...(not really, but you can in your head. )I can't wait!

Update: The CUPCAKES at the bday party were WORTH me getting dressed!
