now where's my gun?

I think in the last photo I look a little like I'm thinking: "Now where is my gun?" Which seems fitting considering that after taking a look at myself in the mirror I thought I sort of looked like a crazy secretary. But I didn't really have time to change as I was off with my son to visit his cousins.

If a lot of my outfits seem a little crazy it's because I am often rushing out the door to drive my husband to work so that I can have the car for the day. Actually, after downloading these pics onto the computer I noticed this outfit in my outfits folder (yes, I have a special folder for all these pics. Don't you?) and I thought: "Ugh, what was I thinking?!" But then I looked at it again on the blog and noticed that a lot of people really liked it. So uh, I don't know. I think I just like my crazy secretary look better. Or maybe tomorrow I will say: "Ugh, what was I thinking?" to the crazy secretary look (especially if I keep calling it that).

But you know what?- I don't think so. I am usually very pleased whenever I wear a high waist skirt with heels and my shirt tucked. The "fifties secretary look" just always feels so put together to me. And if there is one thing I like more than anything in an outfit, it's that "put together" feeling. Oh, to have a french manicure, a facial, hair recently cut, and a shiny new outfit? So nice. My dream. My dream that does not come true anymore now that I have my dream baby (so completely worth it).

But uh, I've got the perfume:

Look by Vera Wang.

I swear whenever I spritz myself with this scent I just "feel" put together even if I'm not even dressed yet. Speaking of not being dresses, I wanted to share a good tip with you ladies*: if you are ever running late while getting dressed and your husband is getting annoyed, the sure fire way to turn his "annoyed with you", into "happy with you" is to continue to get ready sans bottoms wearing your frilliest panties. Seriously. It works.
