When: Monday, June 10th, 2010

Where: Work + Dentist

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.
