i didn't notice the waves crash over

This how I look in a suit that is too big, both size-wise and height-wise:
9-1-11
9-1-11-b
Calvin Klein suit: Marshalls.....top: Marshalls
pantyhose: Target.....shoes: Payless
teal ribbon pin: NOCC - September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.


The suit was a good deal at Marshalls, but the least I could have done was buy one that actually fit right. I seriously thought it did fit when I tried it on in the dressing room. Looking at the outfit pics, I was obviously wrong. But I like how comfy it is. Whatever.

Next time, I'm shopping the petites section at Macys for suits.

a change may do you good

The company I work for adopted a dress code that consists of only suits. The change started September 1.

I had to document one of the last non-suit outfits I wore to work.

This is how I looked on August 25:
8-25-11
sweater: Nordstrom Rack.....top: Ross.....pants: hand-me-down from Maria
mini-socks: Target.....shoes: Aerosoles


The suits have been a blessing in disguise. I throw on a suit and the only things I worry about are the top and shoes.
