What: Dress ($40 Banana Republic), blazer (Old Navy), canvas tote ($14.99 J. Crew), Shoes ($45 Banana Republic)
This outfit is a testament to the power of shopping the clearance rack. There is no shame in my game when it comes to a good bargain. I’d been eyeing this dress for a while last year, but I just had a feeling it would eventually go on sale. My patience paid off during a weekend excursion to Boston when I scooped it up for more than half off. I also lucked out with the shoes. They have a 4-inch heel, but they are sooooo comfy. I also get tons of compliments whenever I wear them. At least 4 women stopped me on the street on my way to the dentist that afternoon to tell me how cute they were!
Speaking of the dentist…
I may look chipper in this photo, but I was actually in a lot of pain. It was supposed to be a quick checkup and replacement of a small filling. My dentist told me I didn’t even need novocaine. Unfortunately, I have a very feisty first molar who refused to take the filling after the 1st three attempts. Can we say “ouch!”
The good news is that I survived and lived to blog about it.
