Mon Outfit, and new shoes.

Well, today I had something else planned. But then, I though I wanted to wear one of the skirts I bought in the US and that I had tailored. Here's the result:


Shirt - Guess? Jeans
Arm wrap - Street stand
Skirt - Banana Republic
Shoes - BC via Urban Outfitters
Necklace - Steph's mom
Bag - Kuvé

I liked the result, but I think it was a little too "office appropriate". So I wore this big necklace (one of the chains is fuschia), and the red bag. Plus, I think my tattoo makes everything slightly less office appropriate!
The skirt is part of the suit I wore for my PhD defense - and this is, like, the third time I wore it since (I mean, since 2003!!!).

Now, let me introduce you, my last (yesterday's) buy.
Drumroll:


My new work shoes! I bought them yesterday to wear around the lab. And today I discovered that they might be even reimboursed by the company.
This way I can go to work with my most outrageous (ok, not quite...) heels, and change into something comfortable to be in the lab...

The thin one is even older, it's about 25 years old! A classmate gave me a bunch of them (it was the 80's and Madonna was just starting to get famous) and I somehow managed to keep this one through the years. Now I want to start wearing all the other bangles I have, too!

Birthday thoughts.

I am starting this post with a picture of me, cutting a cake, on Sat night, at the end of dinner. I had my sisters, parents and little niece for dinner, and it was a very pleasant evening. The day before I went to my ex' place, and took every last bit I had left there (winter coats, and other random stuff, such as a muffin pan, and the tablecloth you can see in the picture). This was one of the presents I gave myself for my birthday. The lightness of knowing that everything is done, finished and closed, and I don't need to have anything to do with him anymore. Then, for my "new year", I decided to be a tiny bit braver, and ask people to do stuff with me. I have always been pretty shy about it, because I have always thought if people want me with them, they'd ask me. But I have come to realize that others like to be invited and involved, too! So, I was talking to a colleague I am pretty close to, and we decided to book a vacation to Sicily together, with ano...
