OOTD AND FOTD: "MAXI-MIZING My Dress for My 9-5!"

Pretty much everyone knows that I have recently had a baby and am now going in the transition of losing weight. I am now in that horrible stage of "too big/too little". I'm too little for my bigger clothes and I'm too big for my smaller clothes. So, I am pretty much at a loss when it comes for dressing for work.

Then I happen to remember coming across a fellow blogger's OOTD where she remixed her maxi dress to make it appropriate for work! I put my spin on one of my MANY maxi dresses that I've accumulated over this past summer.

 

My outfit stems from items I've purchased and decided to put together at the last minute. It's just happenstance that they are actually ALL leopard print. My jacket is actually a men's blazer from H&M that was on Clearance for $10! The faux leather lining had me at HELLO when I first laid eyes upon it. My scarf is also from H&M. My belt came with a shirt I purchased from Wal-Mart.

 My shoes: Platform stiletto heels from Charlotte Russe. These are one of MANY pairs of leopard print shoes that I've purchased throughout my shoe journey.

Here's the end result! put together so that I can work in style and not become concerned about showing my "plumber's crack" at work LOL!




Another shot of my outfit!

As far as my face? My sister wanted me to do a Face of the Day because I'm in love with Wet 'N Wild Cosmetics. I used Intuitive Blend in Medium and also Wet 'N Wild CoverAll in Medium as well. I used the the Color Icon Palette in "Petal Pusher", the Blush in Pearlescent Pink and Mega Last Lip Color in "Cherry Bomb".


 I'm very pleased with my look today and I'm sure that I can rock this from 9-5 and beyond!
