TGIF! Usually I'm not one to get fussy about a week seeming long but goodness! This one seemed to drag along!
Part of me thinks this outfit is a little too "sexy" for work, but the other part of me said to get over it and stop being such a prude. We'll see.
Dress: Merona (It's the black version of the one Leslie loves so much)
Python print scarf: Walmart ($2.50!!!!)
Belt: Walmart
Shoes: Jessica Simpson (Zappos.com outlet)
As you may have noticed, I'm a little busty. I have the occasional misstep and it's The Boob Show all day. I fret over this a lot and am constantly taping, pinning and layering to keep things in control.
It's getting old, though, so I thought I'd try something new. I wrapped the scarf around me and tucked the ends in my faux-Spanxx (classy, I know). It's not going anywhere!!!
Tracey and I spent a delightful afternoon at Zappos a few months back and these were one of my purchases. They're mostly uncomfortable but only b/c the platform/heel are "off" somehow and it hurts my ankle. I have flats under my desk for later!
And now, for the bargain of the century! Kimberly had posted about snagging a killer Python Coach iPod case and, of course, I wanted one! I already had a plain black Coach one (thanks, Mama & Daddy!) but seriously. A girl needs something snakey and sparkly on her desk, right?
I got mine for $16.01 and that included shipping. Retail was $178. I too rock it old school and have an iPod mini and can't justify upgrading.
Speaking of "justify" - I'm currently desk-dancing to some Justin Timberlake - yay for iPods at work!!! Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!!!

Scarves to block the boobage are the best! I did the very same thing this morning. ;O) Love the animal prints. I really need to find a way to incorporate them more.
Speaking of Zappos....their upcoming HUGE tent sale is either this weekend (tomorrow) or next weekend so you might wanna check on that.
I know what you mean.It's been a loooong week!
At least you neded it on a high. Looking good!
Great outfit. Check this out for music at work:
www.pandora.com
You can pick Justin Timberlake (A hottie who wants me but alas I am a married woman) and the site will spin all tunes similar to his music as well. And you don't have to download any music to your work computer!
OTG - I'm not very adventurous (at all) but this is "mild" enough for me.
Ash - I just called and no Tent sale until October-ish. They are, however, having a sale starting Friday the 1st.
Jane - Thanks!!!
KT - I don't have speakers on my computer :( If you look at the pics of SHOES ON THE DESK!! then you'll see this weird silver looking thing w/two circles. That's my iPod speaker and I plug into that.
This is a great office look, Ally! I think the scarf addition is perfect!!
I feel ya on the boobage issue, though :( It's so tough to deal with sometimes.
Spanx (and faux-spanx!) products are awesome!! I wear the leggings almost daily in the winter (under my pants, especially! Those wide-legs are drafty!) I can't find a pair of nylon-ish underpinnings that fit better. I have this weird thing about tights where having that web-like texture on my feet totally freaks me out... So you'll see in the upcoming months how I wear leggings, knee-high socks, and boots to combat my craziness and still be fashionably warm :)

Thanks, E! I love the spankx leggins too! I wear them with tall boots b/c I don't care for the business all over my feet either. I have sweaty, stinky feet (TMI!) and they make my feet slide around :(
I can't wait to see how cute you are for fall/winter!!
Great solution to the over-exposure problem! Unfortunately, I can wear my tops cut pretty low without revealing much, if any cleavage. :( But I've used your scarf trick just for interest (link below). I'll have to bring it back when the weather cools down.

This isnt too sexy for work at all! I think it looks sleek, polished and professional.
E- I love SPANX--live by them! And last year, I ran out of nude hose/tights at one time and only had capris so I wore those with socks and tall boots so I feel you on the layering!
This looks great.. and while it IS sexy, I don't think it's TOO sexy.. it looks perfect for the office!
That's for the reassurance! I feel like I'm poured into the dress. Maybe I shouldn't have had that McAllister's baked potato for lunch...
Girl that is ONE HOT OUTFIT!!
Thanks, Jamie!! Rawr!!
That is an awesome deal on the ipod case! Great job! I just found your blog (through Fab Finds Under $50) and I was excited to see you're all in Louisville - I just moved from Louisville after graduating from UofL!
