I know I’ve gone on record warning everyone about the dangers of going straight for the clearance rack, but that’s exactly what led to my buying this dress. Look, if I wrote the rule, I can break it. Sometimes you just have to buy a pretty dress for no reason. This dress is actually even prettier than it looks here – the sleeves are sheer and fluttery and princessy – but I wanted to wear it to work so I added my most serious looking lawyer jacket. But then I still felt too dressy, which is why I added these kind of punk rock boots. The moral of this story is: if I hadn’t made an impulse purchase from the clearance rack, I never could have lived out my dreams of being a royal rock star attorney. And that would have been a shame.

Some people have a sort of “go to” formula or uniform for getting dressed. I should probably get one of those. Because I don’t dress well under pressure. On Sunday we got up early for “members only” hour at the zoo, and I was a dummy and hadn’t planned an outfit the night before. It took me like 11 tries to come up with this…yes, this groundbreaking jeans + shirt combo. Is it even worth showing to you? I don’t know, but it’s what I wore in real life, so here we are.
