Daily MelWear: Beauty Is Pain

So tomorrow is the Big Office Move. My old office is moving into their new building! I'm going to pack up my things and move them to my new office either today or tomorrow, rather than keeping them in my car until Monday when I start the new job. Or, when I partially start the new job.  Apparently I'm being "loaned" out to one of the departments in the new building to answer their phones in the mornings so that they can unpack next week, then I'll be at my new job in the afternoons. After Thanksgiving, I'll be in the new job full-time! Yay! I'm excited!!!

I've decided that I'm getting a little tired of myself...I feel like while I do have a lot of things being thrown at me, I really shouldn't be burdening you all with every minute detail of my life. There were a few more things that happened yesterday but I think I really need to stop whining.

{One last update, for those of you wondering about my grandmother: they cancelled the gallbladder surgery because she has fluid in her lungs. They are giving her antibiotics to get rid of the fluid, then they'll do the surgery in hopes of removing the infection from her gallbladder which they think is causing the sepsis. That might take a few days for the fluid to be gone, then the surgery, then recovery, so she'll likly be in the hospital for a bit longer. Thank you for your prayers! Please keep praying!}

Suffice it to say that I'm about at my breaking point with things I can handle! I know that God will never give me more than I can handle, but I think He has WAY more faith in me than I do! Maybe I should take that as a compliment. Or something. :)

Okay so look at the GORGEOUSNESS that is this dress. Isn't it fabulous?! This is a gift from the one, the only, the spectacular Marilou of Twenty York Street! Not only did she send me this beautiful dress, but she also owns one and sent one to JoAnn as well! I LOVE the way these incredible ladies have styled the dress (and since ML also sent me a leopard scarf like hers, I may have to copy her outfit one day too!)!

Now let's talk about these shoes. They're awesome! So adorable! So flattering! So versatile!

SO PAINFUL! I need to go buy some Dr. Scholl's inserts or something because seriously, my feet hurt before I even left the house this morning. But they are WAY cute and I couldn't bear the thought of not wearing them today. Beauty hurts sometimes, right? Right? Eh...

Today's outfit:
Watercolor Dress: Banana Republic (gift from ML)
Teal Tights: Charlotte Russe
Gray Booties: Charlotte Russe
Black Cardigan: Kohl's
Pearl Necklace: Ross (it's actually supposed to be a headband...but I like it as a necklace)

  2. I laughed so hard when I read that you were wearing a headband as a necklace - not because it was a bad idea, I love things that are versatile, but because I have a headband that I've been trying to make into a necklace, or, even more difficult, a belt, and my fiancé thinks I'm crazy!

    And sweetie, don't feel like you're burdening us - we wouldn't be here if we didn't want to. I've been feeling overwhelmed with my little world of problems, and I've found that letting it out in a blog has been really helpful not only to get supportive comments, but also to see the problem on the screen makes it feel a little less daunting! It's your blog - write what you want!!
