Catwalk worthy Couture (that won't take 9 lives to pay for)

This morning we were running late and after getting the hairdresser out the door, signing 27 papers that go back to school, driving 4 kids to 3 schools, I got to chase the standard poodle around the neighborhood in what was a really fun game for ONE of us. Whew. (Was the cat and other dog not enough? Didn't I hear 5 people promise they would help with the pets? hmmm..)

Back to me. I remember it is Friday so we can wear jeans to work. Yay. I grab my *new* shoes that are the most gorgeous shoes I have ever, ever (ever) seen in my entire life!! They speak for themselves, and make quite a statement. So, I paired them with a simple white shirt and fabumor (more than just plain fabulous) chunky necklace. I feel like I could strut the catwalk in this ensemble! Not to worry, this does not come with the usual designer price tag.

Out the door and off to work feeling g-o-o-d! Wait....did I forget something?

I can always put make-up on when I get to work. I have a 5 and 15 minute routine. This morning was more like 2 seconds. Who cares, know one is looking. *click*

"JOY!!!! Did you just take my picture???? omg."

Jeans=Gap (These are my favorite and they are long enough!!!-thank you GAP)

Shirt=Anne Fontaine (look, the belt is part of the shirt and it has a perfect collar and cuffs and the sleeves are long enough) St. Marys Thrift Store (benefits hospice care)

Necklace=Ann Taylor Loft (bought with $25 off a $50 purchase card)

Sunglasses=Tifosi (they are black, silver and pink). Style name? Lust. Any more questions?

And in the spirit of saving the best for last.....

The SHOES

(Made in the mountains of Italy, sold in Beverly Hills for hundreds of $$, found by me at a yard sale) I feel like a princess!!! Happy feet!
