I take it all back (literally)

I was really excited about the Steve Madden "Swirly" that I bought last week. I even paired them with a cute wrap dress for work the next day. All was well in the universe, but because they are made from plastic...they began to stretch. So I decided that I would return them for a whole size smaller (since they don't come in halves which would accommodate my true size). Two stores later, I've got the smaller size. I thought since they were a bit tight, I'd break them in while wearing them to work on Saturday. I figured that I'd be standing most of the time and that would give them the opportunity to stretch. WRONG. My feet were in those shoes like a caged bird waiting to be freed. Needless to say...I had to take those babies back.

Moral of the story: Swirly is a cute shoe if you truly wear a whole size.

Dress Code Violation

You know...undergarments were given that name for a reason. They are meant to be worn under your clothes and in most cases, aren't expected to be visible.

So tell me why ialways SPY your thong...or your colorful arse bra?

Maybe your mom didn't teach you better and shame on her for that. But there are rules that shoul be followed when getting dressed in the morning for your off-the street corner job.

1. Black goes under white- While I will try not to let my disdain for white bras cloud my judgement, the simple FACT is that black doesn't show under white...WHITE DOES! Don't believe me? Try it out. I that on first Sunday, when all the women of the church where white, I can see those big, cone shaped white bras with the thick straps under those silk(y) shirts. WEAR BLACK!

2. On that note, colors other than black do not go under white. EVER. I don't wish to see your pink and greens/ red and whites/ or anything else from the Victoria's Secret PINK collection under your white linen pants.

3. At some age, you've got to stop shopping in the PINK collection for your underwear. I generally think it should be relegated to the under 21 population. You can't color, pizzaz, and what not? There are some grown up selections at La Perla and Soma.

4. Just because your shirt is colored, doesn't mean that patterned bras don't show. Why am I sitting across from you in a meeting and can see red polka dots?

5. Lace is cute but not practical. Lace undies are really meant to be worn as the main attraction and not in some supporting role. Why are their ridges in your shirt? Oh, cuz you don't own a single smooth bra...not ok.

6. No, I don't want to see your thong (or be told about it by your co-worker over gchat). This is more of a pants issue than an underwear issue. I'm guilty of the low(er) cut jeans, but let's do better ladies.

Hmm, I think that 'bout sums it up. Did I miss anything?
