Day #13

SUITING UP

Today's mission is to dress EXTRA smart! Already wear a suit to the office? Try a bow tie or an elaborate hairstyle... Take the bins out in a cocktail dress, or break out your lucky underwear...

I feel like I kinda copped out with this challenge. Here's why: I had an appointment around midday and I knew if I rocked up in a formal gown it may be a tad inappropriate and would, without a doubt, become a topic of discussion. In addition, it's SUPER-DUPER hot where I live this time of year (it's not unusual to have a slew of 40C days) and I knew that if I wore a cocktail dress I'd sweat right through it and it would be disgusting...for everyone. Sure, I could wear that cream faux fur coat and 6 inch stilettos and sunglasses the size of my face but I would probably faint from heat exhaustion. So...the weather felt a tad limiting.

Anyway, in the end I tired to strike a happy medium. I wore something that wouldn't induce heat exhaustion and something that I'd wear out to a club but a club that has no section strictly for brands of caviar...and still has beer on tap. You can't really see it but those are pink heels, my friends.

 
 Ah, the dreaded mirror shot. Myspace memories.

Oh yeah, and here is my face:


I almost feel that by posting these photos (especially the first) my relationship with the internet has reached another level. It's like now you can't get all TO-ed because I've posted a full body shot (Napoleon Dynamite reference, anyone?)

On a related note, so...err... I was thinking, Internet, if you weren't doing anything for Valentine's Day then perhaps you'd be mine? Because I feel like we have a really great connection, and I love spending time with you, and time goes so quickly when I'm with you, and you never judge me when I want to watch stupid videos on YouTube for 5 hours straight or google Christian Bale for no apparent reason...I just, I cannot deny it, you're my type.

...

What do you think?
