my outfit : 07.20.09

My outfit is on the boring side today, and if we’re being honest, on the matchy-matchy side as well…

I started off knowing I’d wear the new Tory Burch Revas which greeted me on the kitchen counter upon my arrival home from work Friday.

I know – I’m the luckiest B ever, for having the cutest husband around, who’s also more understanding than I ever could have hoped for, of my expensive taste.  Believe me, if I could clone him and disperse him to all my single and lovely girlfriends, I would…but since I can’t, I’ll remind you that he’s mine!

Since I’m doing flats, pants are out of the question (as if I ever wear them anyway; dresses are my uniform), and since it’s Monday, I can get away with being on the casual side…a short-sleeved black knit dress with ruched dropped waist made the cut, topped by a printed cardigan in ivory with a tan and black graphic floral.  My fail-safe long gold chain with raw quartz stone pendant made the cut, as did my birthday present from my (brag-worthy) husband:

All was well until I added the kicker, my trusty black leather Banana bag – with sleek GOLD hardware.  The husband busted me out – I looked matchy-matchy in the matching shoes/handbag way that I despise.  I can’t find a picture of the bag online, as I got it to replace my stolen bag after the wedding back in October, but maybe I can remember to take some pics tonight?

I was going to go reverse shopping/returning my my lunch break, but have been to ashamed to leave the office – tear.  I kid!  Although I’m disappointed in my honest mistake/lack of will to change purses, thus avoiding this debacle, it was my drive to blog that prevented my journey out…

I’m feeling rather dramatic today, no?
