got the blues

Aug092010_0049
I’ve been such a sad sack this week, but I suppose with good reason. Earlier in the week I got into another fender bender on my way to a work event. I’m close to giving up on driving completely. I can’t be trusted behind the wheel of a car. Argh. If I only knew this particular mock election undesired “win” would foreshadow my future so:

(ps that’s my sweet ’87 buick lesabre)
I really liked how these photos came out. I wore this to work earlier this week and since it was raining, I grabbed a jacket so a few of my photos are with the jacket layered on. You might be thinking “Andrea, wtf it’s summer.” I know this, but I get all itchy when rain touches me and I’ve lost both of my umbrellas. So the next best thing was a jacket. I’m that fool you see running in heels with a jacket over my head to seek shelter from light drops of rain. I miss layering so much. I can’t wait for summer to be over with. I’m over it!

    I genuinely like the madden heels, I demand you throw away any icky Jeffrey Campbells you have and only wear this pair of maddens for the rest of your life.

    I'm sorry to hear about the fender bender. That's never fun, but I hope the rest of your week is much better.

    I love this outfit and the jacket looks amazing so don't even worry if it's summer!

    I love that top you're wearing!

    I always have to have a jacket in the summer too! Except for me it's because my office is so cold. Unfortunately it NEVER rains here. ha.

    Oh no, I'm sorry about your fender bender! Car stuff is such a pain; I'm constantly thinking I should just sell mine and start taking public transit everywhere. (Or borrow the bf's Prius.)

    I love your blouse; the zipper in the back is so cool!

  21. KT says

    Wow, I really like this top. It's flattering from the front and then the zipper in the back is such a great detail. Cute!

    Love the outfit! Rain in summer is surprisingly cold on bare skin, I currently have 3 umbrellas in my car 'just in case';
    And I'm secretly over summer too.

    You should move to NYC, then you;ll never have to drive! I like this outfit, the blue is great on you. Also love how the zippers line up in the back – it's weird but details like that really cement an outfit for me sometimes.

    xoxo, Ashley

    I love this outfit. I really need to get some shirts, or dresses or something with an exposed zipper like that.

    P.S. I totally feel your pain about the car stuff. I want to give up driving too!
