Accidentally fancy




Topshop dress
Express necklace
Misc bracelets
Stella and dot ring
Kate Spade clutch
Zara pumps

I'm not joking when I say I just finished working for the day. It's 2:30am right now, and you know what I'm doing? I'm writing this blog post. Because it's all I wanted to do tonight, but alas I'm still cramming to get sooo much done for work before I leave for vacation. You think I was going to be gone a whole month or something. I've accomplished just about everything I wanted to, and I think it's about all I can handle.

So. Where does that leave this post? Well, since I worked all weekend as well, I was super exhausted waking up this morning and feeling exceptionally uninspired. I honestly just wanted to throw on a pair of jeans and be done with it, but, well, it's never a good idea to wear jeans when Aunt Flo is around. I tried on a couple other dresses, but I'm so bloated that nothing was fitting right. I saw this dress, which I've only worn one other time when it was still tights season, and was elated that it fit. Comfortably.

I threw on an arm of bangles, and this new necklace from Express, loved the metal mixing going on, so I grabbed my studded captoe pumps. All of a sudden I looked like I was going to a cocktail party and not the office! Whoops! The husband was a little... perplexed... seeing me walk out of my closet room, but who has time to worry about that right now? Oh well. It happens.
