You know what I love? A versatile outfit like this one. This outfit is perfect for taking your last exam of the year (comfortable and unfussy). It’s perfect for having celebratory margaritas (just a little wild and fun). It’s perfect for Christmas shopping (warm and (again) comfortable). And it’s perfect for going out for a pizza and wine date (cute but not too dressy). I know this outfit is perfect for these things because I actually did all these things in this outfit. That’s right – I am DONE with exams, and man does it feel good to be back in the real world!

But back to versatility. Here are a few other ways I’ve worn some of these pieces before…

It’s the Real Life Remix…

Dinner Date Fail

OK, here’s what happened:

I wore this top and skirt to work, then came home and switched out my shoes and bag so I looked a little spiffier to go out to dinner. Typically we don’t do fancy dinners on week nights, but we had some accomplishments to celebrate (more about that soon), so we decided to go to the Melting Pot. We showed up at 6:30 (without a reservation because it was Tuesday), and they said they didn’t have a table until EIGHT FREAKING THIRTY. The best part? The restaurant was SILENT. There was no one there. So apparently the Melting Pot has one single waiter.

Obviously, I was a bit perturbed. I mean when you have it in your head that you’re about to eat a delicious bowl of melted cheese, it’s hard to wrap your brain around eating something else. We ended up going for Italian at Puccini’s. Don’t get me wrong – their food is delicious. But the servers wear khaki shorts and lime green t-shirts, so I was just a smidgeon overdressed. Oh well. As Kristin pointed out: “Babe, you’re overdressed for life.”
