A Boring Rocker

That's like an oxymoron, no? How can a rocker be boring?! Boring or not, rocker or not, that's what I thought of at the end of the day when I looked at my outfit today.

Tommy Hilfiger boots (Winners)

What can I say, it's Monday! I don't usually pick momentum til Tuesday at the very least. Heck, sometimes I don't pick momentum til Wednesday or Thursday, and by then, guess what, it's almost Friday already, wheee!

But hey, at least I was warm, I didn't look like I just got out of bed (I don't think, anyways), and it can only go up from here (I think).

These boots are turning out to be the go-to boots this season, next to my brown knee-high ones. I didn't really think it would be. I actually felt ambivalent about it when I first bought it last year(?) but there was something about it that I quite like, and I guess I was right after all...

I figured I might as well just talk about my boots, rather than dramalama at work, no? hehe...

Gray Shades of Winter

Ok, I realize it's not quite winter yet, but with the kind of temp we're having, it might as well be, as far as I'm concerned. Mind you, I'm not talking snow. But lotsa' lotsa' rain... wah, wah...

How does one get motivated to dress up when it's so friggin' gray and wet outside that all one wants is to stay in bed, curled up under the sheet? If people think this is too casual for work, too bad people haven't seen my "outfits" the last couple of days. HAH!

H&M Divided infinity scarf, Gap fingerless gloves

... love its chunky feel...

The things we get away with, wearing what we wear at work! Seriously, right? I'm just so glad, really.

Old Navy toggle coat

Can you tell I like gray? I think I have 7 shades of it in this outfit. I probably could have piled up some more (although not really sure how that's possible) and added 43 more, which gets me...

HAH!

Here Comes the Rain Again

... falling on my head like a memory, falling on my head like a new emotion...

BR top, infinity scarf & Tommy Hilfiger booties (Winners),
Gap skinny jeans

So totally uninspired today. Actually, scratch that. I did have several outfits in mind, too many actually, that I got stumped. Then factor in the rain. The result? This. Bah! Hate when that happens.

Hubs thinks I'm a brat because I complain that I have too many choices sometimes. HAH! Maybe I am? Nah! I don't think so... hehe...

Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Chocolate with Hot Chili...

For a short work week, it felt like I did so much. Yet, I have very little to show for, considering all that effort. What's up with that?!

Gap jacket & skinny cord, INC top, H&M scarf,
Tommy Hilfiger boots (Winners)

One good thing about it is that I did have some time to see people I've been wanting to see for a while now.

And now here I am, and it's Saturday. Ahhh, weekend...

Color Me Red

Woke up this morning and they say it was gonna rain all day. So what did I decide to wear? Why a dress of course.

Old Navy dress (recent purch), cardi (old),
NIcole Miller legging (Costco), belt & Tommy Hilfiger booties (Winners)

Got this dress end of last month when it was clearly no longer dress season, but it just doesn't feel right to wait for next summer to wear it. I love the color and the scant flowers. I had to wear it now... hehe...

Now I just have to come up with more ways to wear this dress in the colder season...

You're a Rock Star... Not

With the fall-like weather we've been having the last few days, almost glad to hear that it wasn't just me getting affected by this unseasonal weather. Other people at work seem to be on the same boat (how appropriate... rain... boat... hehe). Around this time of the year, I guess people are just expecting summery weather already. And when you're not seeing and feeling it, it really throws your psyche off the loop.

Esprit jacket, H&M shirt and scarf, AE jeans,
Tommy Hilfiger boots (Winners)

More wah-wah-wah... How can the weather affect our mood so much?

I suppose I could be talking about less inane stuff, but see, I don't have the energy even for that. Heck, I barely have energy at work, let alone deal with other things. Bah!

Someone at work told me I look like one of those rock stars, with my biker boots and leopard scarf. An aging rock star, perhaps? Circa 1980's? hehe

I guess my outfit almost looks angry and rebellious. Yes, that's it, rebelling against this unseasonal weather, and angry that I've yet to enjoy my summer clothes. Well, ok, I didn't look it. More like felt it, I think.

Ramble, ramble, ramble... *doing the Mick Jagger walk*

HAH!

A Pop of Color

This week that just passed may just have been one of the busiest weeks I've had. Mind you, it didn't feel like it, but for me to not have any energy at all, after coming home, to do anything else, meant that, I guess, even if I didn't want to admit it.

Gap jacket, shirt (old, hand-me-down from other sis),
necklace (gift from other sis from Cuba),
Aldo belt, AE jeans, Tommy Hilfiger boots (Winners)

I guess I normalized a lot of things in my life that I shouldn't, like the degree of busy-ness at work, that it doesn't hit me til the end how tired I am, for example, at the end of the day/week.

Not even sure what look I was going for here, but by Friday, this is the best I could muster. If I'm up to it, maybe I'll post the rest of the outfits, from this week past, tomorrow. Maybe...

Probably would have looked better with heels. Heels? What's that?:p

Finally got to wear my yellow belt, yay!

Didn't really care if it went with the outfit or not, but I just had to wear it.

necklace (gift from mom from the Philippines)

I was originally gonna go with this necklace, but changed my mind last minute. And as you can see, ended up with another.

TGIS!!! heehee

Sloppy, er, Slouchy, Boho

With all the rain we've been getting lately, I thought I'd be more inspired to wear colors, you know, just to counteract the effect of the gray weather, but apparently not.

Gap cardi, Esprit dress, Urban Planet leggings,
Tommy Hilfiger boots (Winners),
necklace (gift from mom from the Philippines)

Welll, at least it's not all black. Working my way towards the other end of the rainbow spectrum, slowly, but surely...

... maybe starting with the necklace, at least?

No?

... love the buckles:)

I realize wearing the "biker" boots does not necessarily go with the feel of the outfit, but it was just pouring all day and need to keep my feet dry! What about rain boots? Oh yah, guess I can wear that too, eh?

heehee...
