Viva Las Vegas

Tomorrow night is our Vegas-themed school gala. I'm not one to go whole-hog Vegas chic but I think this will do. The earrings are only a dream, isn't that why people go to Vegas to dream big and win?

Well, maybe in some cities but here in San Diego we're awaiting Winter Storm Watch 2012. Translation: it's going to rain Saturday and Sunday. Yes, everyone will melt. But luckily, we'll all look good if we can get these outfits by tomorrow.
The first three are from Refinery 29's website.

These next ones are through Toast.com. I love the photography in their catalogue.

Is it obvious that I'm liking the shift dress for Spring? So easy, classy and chic.
Have a wonderful weekend!

A Closet Full of Clothes....

....But nothing to wear! Yes, I totally think about this subject way too much when it comes to dating someone; Ok, even when I go to work (during the Winter months, I rely on the same 7 outfits. When the warm weather hits, yikes!) Do I dress casual, sensual, sexy.... not comfortable in that. This is the problem that I had last night.

The date: miniature golf. The outfit: ? (hears crickets chirping). I seriously took 45 minutes to pick out something to wear. I kept having wardrobe malfunctions- my body. Just having one of those days. My date, kindly called before he was leaving to come pick me up, I still had not figured out what to wear. This is utterly ridiculous!

Twenty minutes: tear out the long black skirt, converse sneakers and t-shirt? Nope didn't like that. Eighteen minutes: tear out the gray jean and sweater? Nope.... Fifteen minutes: pull out the regular jeans and a t-shirt. YUCK! Thirteen minutes: pull the black jersey skirt out again with a different shirt. Maybe?... Yuck!!!! (sigh...) My heart starts racing, I'm going to play miniature golf, this should not be this hard! With 7 minutes to spare, I finally settle for the grey jeans, British flag t-shirt, gray cashmere sweater and gray Gap flats, with the cute bow on the heel, shoes. Satisfied?... No, but I can't give it anymore thought. Leaving clothes strewn around the floor and bed, (hoping he doesn't need to use the restroom),

I retouch my makeup, feed Wilbur and get my jacket, yes, a jacket on top of all this; the door bell rings. All I can think is, UGH! My date: "You look great!" Awwww, what a guy :) "Oh, this... I just threw this on."

Fashion Friday-Das Boot

This, by a long run, is my favorite look. Its not only because the skirt, as you well know I love long skirts and dresses but it's also the boots. There's something so awesome about pairing combat boots with skirts or dresses. Especially an evening dress. I think I may go this route for our school's gala this year.

This is sooo Long...

The other day, one of my students asked why I always wear long skirts (of course, the answer I gave her was "because I like them"). But the real reason... I think long skirts are so much more dramatic and sensual than short. Yes, a short skirt shows off your legs but a long skirt leaves a man guessing what those gams look like. Its especially fun to wear one on a date and go for a walk on the beach. When it comes time to run away from the waves or jump off a low rock, you just pick your skirt up ever so slightly... Yes, I'm in love with long skirts and now you know why.
