Manic Monday

June 22, 2015 by jessica

Outfit06222014-4

Last week I mentioned that I was fed up with my professional wardrobe situation. I took care of that problem shortly after with a large J.Crew order. While I’m most excited about the dress, it needs to be taken to the tailor when I can finally stand without the help of crutches. The top needs to be taken in and the straps brought up. (Basically, the same alteration I get for every dress that isn’t a loose shift.) This skirt comes in at a close second. I wasn’t sure what to expect since it’s a linen-cotton blend, but it’s pretty substantial. It’s also fully lined and it has pockets. Love. It.

I’ve been wearing a version of this outfit to work every day with my crutches. I just can’t bring myself to tuck pants into the boot! I should be able to start putting some weight on my foot this Thursday and I can expect to rid myself of the crutches and the boot by mid-July. Not only am I excited to walk again, I’m anxious to stand up straight in blog photos and use something other than a crossbody purse! It’s the little things.

    I too picked up a few things from J. Crew this week. I really adore your skirt, fits you well. 1 month left…that’s awesome. I’m sure you’re more than ready to get that boot off

    That is SUCH a great skirt! Linen cotton is such a wonderful blend, and that doesn’t even look very wrinkly! Winning.

    That skirt is adorable, and the fit is perfect! I would be committed to skirts and dresses myself, given the situation. It’s bad enough to only get to wear one shoe, but a tucked in pant leg… Plus, you are such a trooper to keep up with outfit photos!
