First, before I went to the mall, I got a haircut. I am very happy with it. H thinks this is a Jennifer Aniston haircut. I do not think so, but H is weird, so I am not worried about this comment. H also hates that I am wearing a long sleeved shirt with a 3/4-length sleeved sweater over it. Too bad.
Then I went to the Gap because I had a coupon for 20% off. I have been looking for a clutch for several months, but all the ones I like are $75 or more. I am not paying $75 for a clutch.
This clutch was only $24.50 (before my coupon), so I bought it.
I also bought this Jackie O jacket, which I can wear with pretty much all my work clothes. I will probably not wear this red shirt with the jacket, but I make no promises.
Here is a picture I took last week of my Banana Republic dress. You can see my old haircut here.
I would freeze in my office this winter in short sleeves, so I needed a way to winterize the sweater dress. I tried wearing shirts under the dress, but the collar is so scoopy (technical term) that nothing worked right.
I found the perfect cardigan at The Gap. I am wearing jeans under the dress in this picture, but only because I didn't feel like taking them off just for the picture.
Here is a close up of my fat feet in the gray tights I will wear with the sweater dress. The tights are from Target.
And here are the shoes I will wear with my sweater dress. I wear these shoes all the time. I heart patent.
So I only accomplished half of my shopping mission, but black pants can wait.
And now you must excuse me because I have to go drink some absinthe.

I love the look of the longer shirt over a shorter jacket or sweater. I saw it on 'What Not To Wear' and Stacey London says it's true, so it must be.
I love all your clothes and your cute haircut! I agree with Kristie--the long sleeve shirt with the shorter sleeved jacket is GREAT. I am glad my lawyer is so fashionable.
There is another mall in Minneapolis? Why bother? Oh, and I love the dress, and Banana Republic, generally.
Yay cardigan! And I totally think your outfit is cute, even if H does not.
You look adorable! Especially the gray tights... I need some of those.
Why can't I see any of the pictures??
Gah!!!
WM, I don't know! I can't see the pictures on Firefox, but I can see them on Internet Explorer. Weird.
Well done, lady! Bravo and ten points. All.
I can't see the pictures either, but I'm sure that you are cute! :-)
I think I have fixed the pictures now!
I can see them now. Yay! The sweater with the red shirt under it is super-cute!
Personally, I can't get behind the clutch trend, as it drives me nuts having to hold onto a purse with no handle. The wristlet clutches, though? Those are a fabulous idea.
I love the BR sweater dress. Fabulous. And YEA for the new clutch and cardigans!
I love the look of long sleeves under a shorter-sleeved jacket. I do it all the time. This time you're wrong, H! ;)
I also need to say that the picture of your e-ring had me completely confused for about 45 seconds. I kept trying to figure out why it was on your right hand. I was trying to imagine you facing me and what side it would be on and how the picture was completely wrong and then...DUH--MIRROR! I swear I'm not this dumb all the time.
Heh. Or she's Russian! They wear their rings on the right hand. -R-, are you and H really named...Boris and Natasha?
Love the clothes, all of them, and concur re: Boris being incorrectamundo.
Your giant mall frightens me.
(and yes, I know this post is not new, but I couldn't see the pictures 'till now!)
