Christy's Weekly Wear

Another week of absolutely WORKING IT. Again, my job is definitely helping to amp up my day-to-day looks. While there is no expressed dress code, I would somehow feel strange wearing terry cloth shorts and pit-stained t-shirts to the office. Go figure.

Not only was I compelled to look good during the week, but this particular weekend happened to be my one year anniversary with my husband Daniel (although we prefer to say that it was our birthday). We started celebrating our birthday the day before on Saturday. Daniel took me to see a matinee performance of Once (the musical) which blew both of our minds. He also made reservations at a fancy restaurant where we ate paella and drank sangria and laughed and laughed and laughed. On our actual anniversary, I spent half of the day writing a tribute to Daniel and then we walked around Ditmas Park and talked about what we were doing one year ago at that exact time. Despite the fact that it was a more relaxed day, I dressed to impress (how could I not as I remembered my attire from exactly one year before?).

THE BEST
I decided to start with the good news this week.

Dress: H&M

Belt: Forever 21

Jewelry: Forever 21

Shoes: DSW

Diet Dr. Pepper: Cortelyou Road Food

First off, let me just say how awkward it is to take these pictures. I always want them to happen in interesting places and then as that's happening, I realize that everyone there is watching me, judging me for the fact that I have no idea what to do with my hands. Thank God for the rails in the subway and the Diet Dr. Pepper in this picture, although it might make it hard to see what is happening in this outfit. The following picture remedies this:

Yep. Nothing says "model" like taking a big swig of Diet Dr. Pepper while looking vacantly off into the distance.

I bought this dress knowing that if I were in Waco, I would be hiding it from Kaley. Now that we've started this blog, it's high-time I told you, Kaley...I sometimes wear things with asymmetrical hemlines...and I like it.

Short in the front. Long in the back. The mullet of my wardrobe.

At first, like Kaley, I was not on board with this trend, but when I moved to New York, EVERYONE was doing it. I thought, okay maybe I'll just try it once, but then I was hooked. This was definitely the gateway dress, but I have more. I love the way it swings. I love the way that I feel like every street is my runway when I wear it. It's just a hemline I can get behind.

I'm also pretty stoked about my shoes, but only in terms of their appearance. They have literally no arch support. I wore them to work the other day and rubbed my own feet on the subway ride home. It was humiliating. Note to self: these are not work shoes.

As for the belt, you've already met this guy. You'll meet him many more times. Until he breaks down, he will be hanging onto my waist for dear life.

The necklace is a recent purchase. If you like it, go to Forever 21 right now before it disappears!

I don't know about you guys, but Forever 21 is where I get a lot of cheap jewelry. Sure, my neck and fingers are perpetually green, but $8 for a pretty solid necklace? I'm not passing that up. I'm always looking for more places to find accessories (cheap or otherwise). Any suggestions?

THE WORST

Just as I started taking this picture, Daniel decided to tackle me, but you basically get the idea. Oversized t-shirt. Workout shorts. My classic frumpilicious outfit. 

Have a glorious week in style, everyone! If you can't be stylish, don't freak out about it. You probably have your reasons. Just be a really good person.
