I will always remember the day Amy Winehouse died…because it was also my wedding day. So naturally, for our wedding anniversary date this year we went to see the new documentary about Amy’s life. What more appropriate way is there to celebrate the perfectly functional relationship between two mentally stable adults than to watch the life of a tragically talented addict unravel before your eyes? The answer: um, pretty much anything. Anything would have been more appropriate. But we’re weird (mentally stable, but weird) and we love Amy. She’s like the guardian angel of our marriage. It’s actually a really cool movie. I recommend it to any music fan. Just be warned that it will make you feel bad for all the times you called Amy Winehouse a hot mess.

Our anniversary was Thursday, so I wore most of this outfit to the office during the day, and I just threw this clutch inside my work bag, along with the statement necklace. Instant fancy.

Can I just tell you about my terrible morning earlier this week? I was all ready to walk out the door when I looked down and realized there was a stain on the bright blue pants I was wearing. Like, a pretty obvious one. Right above the knee. Not gonna lie, I very seriously considered going to work anyway and just hoping no one noticed. But I noticed, and I knew it would drive me crazy every time I looked down at my lap.

So I decided to at least take a shot at cleaning up my act. And by act I mean pants. I went to the bathroom and took soap and water to my leg, but of course then I just had a giant wet spot. So I grabbed the hair dryer. Yes, this story just gets classier and classier. I had used too much soap, so basically I made the whole situation worse. I probably could have gotten away with the original stain, but not when that stain had a big discolored soap circle around it. It was like a Venn diagram of shame.

I had no choice but to change my bottoms. I was so pissed that I just grabbed these jeans even though it was a Monday. They don’t really look like jeans so I figured I could pass for professional. It’s a good thing I’m not a courtroom lawyer. Can you imagine my opening statement? “OK, jury, my client is totally innocent but first let me tell you about my pants.”
