HELLOOOOOO, FORTIES!

3-4-10 1

Oh, it's sunny and in the 40's today!  So refreshing and lovely!

3-4-10 2

Now that the obligatory weather comment is out of the way, here's some slice of life for you.  The following conversation happened in our house this morning:

3-4-10 3

Me: (Note: I had my black-rimmed glasses on at the time.) Does this look okay?
(not that I had any intention of changing - I just like to ask.)

John: Yeah, it's cool.  You kind of look like a dork, though.

Me: (silent scrunchy face reply)

John:   It looks cool ... like Elvis Costello.

Me:  (super scrunchy face)  Uuuhhh...

Now, pay attention, kids.  This is better than Aesop...

3-4-10 5

Moral of the story:

1.  Do not tell your girlfriend, wife or significant other that she looks like a dork, even if she does.

2.  Don't back pedal and try to make it better by then telling her she looks like Elvis Costello.

Period.

Blazer: JCP, $25 - T-shirt: Target, $13 - Skirt: JCP, $11 - Boots: Target, $35

Just for the record, I left the glasses on - just didn't photograph them.  And no husbands were hurt in the making of this story, but he's lucky I love him.  And in his defense, he does love Elvis Costello quite a bit, so I guess it could've been a compliment.

  1. Gotta love men! Your husband is hilarity. Sounds like something my husband would say. He always makes fun of my outfits, then I run away from him and he chases me jokingly...LOOSER!

  3. I ask my husband all the time how I look and he comes up with the weirdest stuff. Sometimes I swear if I didn't love him so much, he would be living with permanent black eyes.

    I love cut of the skit and the blazer is bad ass.

  5. As much as I adore Elvis Costello, I would've made scrunchyface at that comment, too. I think your skirt is FAR more chic than anything EC would wear!

  17. I would totally take the Elvis Costello comparison as a compliment!

    Also, thinking of Elvis Costello in a leopard print skirt makes me chuckle.

  21. Elvis Costello or not, you look awesome here. The term "bad ass" would not be inappropriate. Love the combo of the skirt, tee, and blazer!
