it's not all glamour

Pants, Top, Ring & Shoes- Thrifted; Cardigan- Swapped; Necklace & Bracelets- Gifted; Nail Polish-Minted & Whimsical by Revlon  
And the award for the most boring outfit goes to Tinfoil Tiaras! I almost didn't post today's ensemble because it was lacking personality and excitement but hey they can't all be winners can they? And part of our responsibility as a fashion blogger is to show off both the hits & misses! This is what happens when I don't plan my outfit the night before- in the morning I'm scrambling around trying to put something together that looks semi-decent and then after working an 11 hour day I'm ready to snap the pictures and change into my pjs!
Had to show off these adorable pointy-toed flats I thrifted for $4.99 -which by the end of the day had my toes screaming for mercy! (Please ignore the cat hair, it's inevitable with two cats, that's why I have a lint brush in my purse, at work, at home and in the car!)

The outfit may be a dud but I love my sparkly Easter egg nails! (These bracelets are actually the colour of my cardigan but for some reason they're showing up as bright red- just wanted to point out that I did go to the trouble of ensuring they matched!)
If you don't love your outfit do you just continue on with your day or do you feel blah and uninspired? (I'm the latter).

  1. Love the colour combo - I think you look anything but boring!

  2. Uninspiring outfits make me feel uninspired. Oddly, only if I'm out in public. I wearing my baggy jeans, a hoodie, sweat socks and my grannie panties (laundry day!), and I'm completely comfortable and confident. Make me go outside in these, and I'll shrivel up as small as I can!

  3. I sometimes change my outfit in the middle of the day, but I work from home so I have that option. I'm constantly covered in dog hair...it's just another accessory. :)

  4. You are a goof! At least half of the outfits I post bomb. What do I care. When this blog pays bills I'll care in the mean time it's fun, fun and more fun! I swear I don't know how some of these people get sponsors. So I don't worry and just continue to be me and 100% free! Stop by new trending link is up and running. And hey, did I tell you I am loving my job? Who the hell would have thought this kind of turn around in 6 weeks! That's it all I got to say is I am feeling pretty awesome right now!

  5. i like seeing the details like the nails, the necklace, & the bracelets. em, those shoes are cute, but if they hurt your feet, why not get rid of them? if i don't like my outfit, i change, if i have time. if i'm stuck in it, i try to pinpoint what i don't like about it, so i won't make the same mistake again. is it the color combination, pattern, or something i feel uncomfortable in? i wonder if we're harder on ourselves than we need to be?

  6. I personally like seeing a good basic outfit every once in a while!

  8. I really like your nails! and maybe I should let my manicurist do something like that for me as well :P when it comes to outfits I don't think an outfit should be perfect every day.. this way there are no special days anymore.. so, don't worry about your outfit ;)

  9. It's not a bad outfit. Perhaps not your best, but it's redeemed by your cool accessories and nail-polish. The shoes are very cute; sorry they're not comfy.

  10. I hear that - I have days where I think, should I really post this outfit? I don't think your outfit is that bad, it is simple yes, but what makes it are definitely the accessories - they are so much fun, especially the shoes, so it's unfortunate they aren't comfy! And your nails are too cute!! I am so bad about keeping up with my nails lately, I think I need a manicure!!

  11. those nails make up for any boredom that you might be feeling with this outfit
    hey, we can't be fashion stars everyday, that would be just too exhausting right!!

  12. You make me laugh, so honest and that's what makes you and your blog special. I laughed about the adorable shoes squishing your feet. Cat hair is part of my life...I am starting to enjoy it when I find a white cat hair in my own hair and think it is time for a dye job. I am in bed resting with 3 cats right now. I love the floors in your photos. Are you home? Dawn Suitcase vignettes xo

  13. There is nothing wrong with a casual outfit! We all have those days. Besides, I really love this! The accessories and shoes really pop against the neutral color combination. I think you look incredibly put together! And that manicure is just the icing on the cake.

  14. It's not a dud! I have so many outfits that don't make it to my blog. I don't even try to dress glamorously at work because everything gets messed up so quickly, and my feet would hurt all the time! I love those pointy shoes, Emily! They are the cutest things ever :)

  15. I'm glad that you posted this outfit...style blogging should be real, right? Not just dressing up to make sure everyone thinks you're totally awesome every moment of your life ;) And anyways, I think this outfit is just great...you look totally gorgeous and shouldn't worry...the bracelets are nifty, your nails are darling, and those pointy shoes are a wonder!

  18. Everyone has off days, you just got to get through them and plan a stellar outfit for tomorrow! I LOVE your manicure, it's so adorable! I may have to try something similar this weekend :)

  19. I generally feel pretty blah if I don't love what I'm wearing, but I actually really like this outfit! It's simple but you pull it together nicely with the accessories and shoes!

  20. You look classic, not boring. The accessorizing and your nails are out of the park. But I love your honesty. I hate blah outfit days - or days when I think I looked better than my pics show I did :P

  21. don't be too harsh on yourself, I think you still looks great, a simple outfit is always classy. Your accessories adds some nice accents! If don't love my outfit, life goes on...there are many blah outfits in my archive by the way...haha

  22. I think you look glamourous! I wore a similar sweater on Saturday and felt good! And a similar blazer yesterday and felt sweet!
    You look very beautiful and the flowers next to you too! (I love flowers!)

  25. I am also loving the easter nails and that they match you jewels. I have had a few misses, but still like this look. It is just more simple....My losers are far worse.

One of my daily joys is reading the lovely comments you leave. It may take a day or two (or three, depending on how hectic life gets!) but I will stop by your slice of the blogosphere soon! xo Emily
