I've spent the last couple of days researching and scouting wedding locations, so I'm a little behind. Here are my outfits from Thursday and Friday, featuring an Italian leather handbag I picked up at Goodwill for $10. My secret? The handbag didn't always look like that; it initially came home dirty and stained. I will have a leather dye post up soon that will tell the whole story. In the mean time...This dress seems like it was probably born in 1992. It's made out of a weird polyester knit that is almost bathing-suit-like, but thicker and better at hiding weird bulges. I wanted to wear it without hose, since the short sleeves seem too be paired a with leg-suffocating film, but that morning dawned too cold for me to leave the house bare-legged.

Yet another polyester dress, thinner and more bathing-suit-like than the one before. This was my one and only Black Friday purchase -- an indulgence driven by my love for cats and my frustration over exorbitant Miu Miu prices.The top was a really fun swap meet find; working in a business-not-quite-casual office, I tend to go through collared button-front shirts faster than I can replace them. This version from Banana Republic even sports some tiny white polka dots -- perfect for smuggling a bit of whimsy to work on Fridays.
