i never in my life thought i would write these words, but here it is: I’M WEARING A ROMPER. with pleats. and a zipper. in order to pee, i have to get mostly naked. it is a very ridiculous garment, and yet i wore it twice last week. and i LIKED IT.

my first day out and about in my romper, i thought of ‘the man repeller’. i took my dogs out for their morning walk, and the garbage collectors were on my street. usually they do some sort of cat-calling at me, so i walked by quickly with my gaze averted… and… nothing! then i decided to take the long way to the subway, where i go over a busy bridge that, again, yields a cat-call or two from some AARP-card-carrying truckers. and again… complete silence! 

thus, it seems that i have managed to find the least sexy garment known to man. if your goal is to avoid any lascivious male attention, get thee to uniqlo while this little number is still dominating the super-sale racks!

i’m going to keep this post very quick today. i’m trying to finish my work at a fevered pace so i can enjoy a ‘summer friday’ schedule. i wore this outfit to a work meeting earlier in the week. i’ve had the jcrew dress in my closet for probably 2 years without ever wearing it. i had wanted it for the longest time based on the nice catalogue photo, and finally my mom got it for me as a gift. in person, the dress that i was led to believe would be a perfectly fitted silk shift dress, was actually a silk sack. now, suddenly, i kind of like it that way.

i usually hate posting work outfits, but that has been the reality of the past week. the lipstick i’m wearing is a new one- laura mercier’s tangerine- and i really enjoy it. it isn’t so over-the-top orange like a lot of lipsticks are this summer, and while it is bright, it’s a little less intense than the standard red. with the outfit i’m giving off a ketchup and mustard vibe, but i promise the lipstick is worth a try.
