What I’m Wearing Today

I’m trying something new today. Per the Mayor of My Apartment’s request I’m going to post a photo of me! It’s kind of a funny concept but I’m going to give it a try and see how this goes. I’m playing around with Apple’s PhotoBooth Application (which is what I used to take this photo of myself). I’ve been struggling for a long time trying to figure out how to take a photo of myself and it finally dawned on me just now — DUH I can use PhotoBooth! Photobooth uses the embedded camera on the Macbook Pro to take photos, but the nice thing is is that it will delay the capture a few seconds so it gives you time to set up for the picture. This is me ladies! It’s Friday in the office so I went for a semi-casual look.. nothing too ratty. Lately, I’ve been letting myself slip a bit and wearing jeans and oversized sweaters to work. I thought to myself this morning I should dress in such a way that matches how I feel about my work. I don’t want to appear too laid back or sloppy! I started with a white tank and threw on my over-sized white button up that I got in Korea the last time I was there from a store called Supermarket in Apgujongdong. The one thing about this shirt is it’s a little too thin and flimsy so it’s riding up and poofing out a little more than I’d like. I also added a belt I got the last time I was in Vegas at the Elie Tahari outlet. This helped pull in the poof and make me look a little less pregnant. You can’t really see the pin stripe pants but they were from… MY FAVORITE GUILTLESS PLEASURE (forever 21 🙂 I was struggling with which jacket to wear. I tried on a cardigan but it just didn’t feel right, then tried a jean jacket but that was too casual. This cropped beige jacket I have on was the final and last thing I was going to try and it ended up looking the best (at least i think). I can’t recall the name of the boutique I got it from but it’s in Burlingame. That reminds me I’m going to have to drop by there soon! Well let me know what you guys think of my semi-casual-Friday-look! And have a great weekend!
