I forgot just how tired you get from working (and I over exert myself by climbing the stairs) and rushing to take care of a family. Not that I am complaining. I really like my new job, its super creative and the company does some amazing events for big clients.
Last night i was at work until 5:45 which is nothing compared to jobs I used to have in NYC (8PM? 9PM? 10PM anyone - with no lunch break, just a gross delivered salad at my desk). Last night was truly the lazy mother's dinner. Max had turkey and cheese with berries, an orange and a glass of milk, Jon had a slice of pizza and I had a small salad. All picked up at whole foods for too much money). As much as I love the idea of baking some chicken I just don't have 40 minutes to cook it at night and I don't want to fall into the pasta for dinner black hole of calories and carbs. I really need to invest in a slow cooker. ASAP.
Yesterday I wore the outfit I wore to the saks event on Saturday to work. Its funny, I remember Alicia talking me out of buying Zophia because it was just another black dress (and I bought black vanya). I found this website for a shop in Atlanta called Blue Jeans. They bought some terrible stuff, but they also sold Mayle (go figure). Zophia was on sale for $150 and they had a size 8 which I altered and I wear this dress so much. Its such a favorite.
Today I am wearing black micheala with the black knit kimono style cardigan from spring 05, a tassel necklace from F21, Gray tights and my lola lace up clogs. I will try to take another sneaky bathroom photo today.
Also Katharina from SE told me that she would try to get me some photos of the latest Mayle pieces. I am dying to get my hands on something new, something mayle. I can't find ANYTHING that I want to wear at any of the shops with the exception of some Lyell for UO and a few JM pieces. Even the Rodarte that I obsessed over is languishing (needs alterations). I can't wait for the trip to NYC, I am hoping that getting in early will offer me a few hours to hit Barneys, No 6, Ina, T7 and Nanette before I jump into full on work mode. Ideally I would love to find a mayle covet, the gold sequined nanette dress, something cute from No 6 and the JM Anna dress.
i was just at saks yesterday and saw the matte gold sequinned nanette on sale racks...so cute...maybe you can call and have them send it to you?
ReplyDeleteJust fyi, Barneys has very little stock and the markdowns have been puny at best (most stock is still at first reduction). No. 6 only have three dresses left but one in black lace is very you--you may want to call them as it is 50% off (it's around $206).
ReplyDeleteMoya thank you for the tip! Is it at the uptown barneys? Margaret- which saks do you remember?
ReplyDeleteThank you both!
