tuesday you can totally go now.

Happy Tuesday findettes.  That wasn't me being serious; oh no there would most certainly be a sarcastic tone to my voice if I were reading this out loud to you.  At least it is nearly over.  Today was definitely 'one of those days' - don't even need to go into details when using a phrase like that as I know you all understand what I mean, like 'those silk orange harem pants are really flattering' and 'I really like leggings as pants'.  Hidden meanings galore.

There is actually no real reason why I have deemed today as 'one of those days' (enjoying the use of the quotation marks - yes I am one of those annoying people who do the hand gesture version of quotation marks whilst trying to make a point.  Quite often in fact.  Even on the phone) as nothing really out of the ordinary happened.  I think perhaps it is because it was so ordinary *read BORING DULL AND LOONNGGGGG* that I wanted it to be over as quickly as possible.  And of course, like the night before Christmas and birthdays and just about any other special occasion even though there is not one happening tomorrow the day dragged.  Fully.

There were two deliveries which allowed some sun spots into the day:

Camilla and Marc thick ponti leggings - $41 eBay.  Just a tad disappointed in these.. they are slightly bally and need a wash.  Eww.

Soles black cuban heeled boots - $61.20 eBay. These guys are fabulous - I was looking for a good weekend stomper and think I have hit the jackpot.  Fit perfectly and a girl can go mountain climbing in that heel.  Fab.

I don't think today's outfit helped me in the motivation stakes.  There was so many wrongs happening I really should not have left the house:

Looks passable in the pics huh?  WELL its not.  The Sussan striped shirt and firetruck red Zara blazer were all good - no issues there.  Doing their bit and working it right.  Then we come to the problem section - the bottom half.  So.  Firstly, the pants were not my standard shiny stretch begging combo.  Oh no, today I thought I would mash it up and go for a pair of black J Brand 911 ankle zip jeans.  Sounds fine in theory, but unfortunately I had forgotten the reason I never wear these.  They fit CRAP.  the legs are tight and the waist is too big and the crutch hangs down and my undies hang out the back and they are even rather hard to walk in.. all of which gets progressively worse as the day goes on.  Plus - I felt like a stumpy legged whatever in the super cute Witchery sparkly brogues; something was just way off there.  I had cankles.  Gross.  Combined with the ultra boring day today was a write off.

WAH.

To make myself feel better, I spent the evening trying on my potential Carla Zampatti wedding dress number three.  L O V E it.  Here:

And then moved on to my birthday dinner outfit this weekend - which consists of this super hot White Suede nude lace dress:

Minus the shoulder pads.  The dress is sheer through the lace - and you can see the whomping big padded pads busting right through.  Ridiculous - so I removed them.  Also instead of having a slip which has straps and allows you to wear a regular bra underneath, the designed a super handy STRAPLESS built in slip which gives the lovely under armpit muffin top effect over the top of the slip.  Hot huh?  Removed this also.  Then needed to customise a new slip by cutting away a large V out of the back - thanks to the rather low back which doesn't let you wear a normal bra anyway (unless you want it to show.  I am not that sort of girl.  That girl would have a lovely lacy black option going on I am sure).  Some a few modifications and one trip to Bras and Things to by a super low back bra (please tell me they exist or stick ons it is) the dress is ready to go.  All this for $200. What a bargain.

WELL this has been a negative post.   I am sure your lives have been enriched tenfold by reading this.

I HOPE TOMORROW IS BETTER.

Just missed out on this AMAZING Karla Spetic apple green silk Louis blazer on eBay:

WAH.  What an amazing colour.  And - it is NOT mine.  It is truly the end of the world.
