This reply email came from my manager this morning and I thought the conversation was kind of funny:
In Manager's previous email: I will be out of the office Thursday and Friday. I will be checking email from home, and occasionally working. I will probably be coming in tomorrow afternoon, though not related to work – I have Girl Scout cookie duty :O
My reply (b.t.w. this is the second girl scout cookie sale we got this month in the group): Girl Scout needs serious reform. Even cookie monster from seasme street starts eating fruit and promotes health concept nowadays.... :-P
His reply: That’s lame. This is a direct result of all those nanny/democrat/liberal/environmentalists trying to interfere with the happiness of children!
Back to today's topic, one of the dress arrived from Macys, it is the Kinder Aggugini for Impulse Dress, Striped Short Sleeve Draped Jersey. And here is how it looks on me and you can be the judge. For reference, I am wearing a XS and it is not tight at all. It is very thin and unlined so it clings to the body. Because it is clingy, it shows every bump and lump on you. The designer remedied it by using the black and white stripe in variable width to give the dress an overall sliming effect and distract you from the imperfections. The neck drapes very nicely. It is made of polyester and is machine washable. It is pull on style. I like the style and the print, but I don't like unlined dress in general. Hubby hates the black and white contrast. So this one is going back, but I don't think it is too bad for its price ($69+25% off with coupon code MUSTHAVE)
You and your boss have a great relationship. Unlike me and mine. haha. I love that jersey dress on you!!! I think it gives you really nice curves!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the outfit you wore today! Those oxfords are great! Too bad my size is not available.
ReplyDeleteFunny emails between you and your boss! It does seem like those cookies are everywhere right now.
I like your boss. Seems like he's got his priorities straight for the week. I take girl scout cookie time very seriously. I feel it's my civic duty to consume as many boxes as possible. Really digging the peanut butter cookies this round... I'm usually a thin minter. I like the black and white contrast, but I always feel a little cruella deville in it. Thx for the review!
ReplyDeleteCindi: my boss felt more like a friend most of the time. I think it has to do with when I started, our current company is a start up. The hierarchy is completely flat. Although he was a lead, he works on a different project. So when he first became my manager, I felt a bit sad as if I lost a friend.
ReplyDeleteKristin: I chose to sit down to take the picture because I want to show off my new oxfords. haha. Glad you like it :-) Too bad they don't have your size because it really is a good deal. 6pm has a lot of good deals for shoes though. Good to keep in mind when you want to buy shoes.
Cat: Most of my co-workers in my group are family first. They are a hard-working bunch, but family always have priorities. I have a lot of respect for them. My favorite girl scout cookie is the chocolate cocunut type, but they are alll too sweet for my taste so I always end up giving it away.
Your boss sounds like the boss i'd love to have. He's got a sense of humour and seems to understand your parenting responsibilities.
ReplyDeleteGreat work outfit Inkmark; the top adds prettiness, yet still look professional.
As for the black and white dress, I think it looks OK, but if you (and your husband) aren't fond of it, back it goes :-)
lol, your boos is a hoot! I love that loft shirt and your oxfords. Your whole outfits looks so well put together. do you plan your outfits ahead or just throw 'em together? I checked out the oxfords and it's too cute for words!
ReplyDeleteVintageglammz: I do think the designer is pretty talented. If I had a perfect body, i'd kept it. Jersy dress just doesn't hide love handles too well, haha
ReplyDeleteLisa: I plan my outfit when I am taking the shower in the morning so I can put on my cloth quickly after coming out. Morning time is too tight, so in the shower I plan my outfit, what to take out for defrost for dinner and a few other things.
Hey there, I came across your blog while I was looking for info on the Kinder Aggugini line...would you be able to tell me more about the sizing/your measurements (only if that's not too personal a question) and how it fits?
ReplyDeleteIf need be, you can email me at chan.vcc@gmail.com
Thanks heaps in advance...hope to hear from you! :)
