Outfit Post

Trish asked where I got this outfit... You really wanna know? Okay...

The animal print top is actually a dress. However, I don't think I should wear it as a dress. Enuf said! Actually I buy "dresses" a lot and wear them as tunic-shirts just by putting a belt with it. Either I have a very long torso or they are making clothes for short people these days. Maybe both! And I'm not even that tall.

The pants are the best thing ever. I paid about $120 for them 2 years ago because I had a gift card to Dillards. They are "DKNY Jeans" brand, but they're not jeans. They are that spandexy, work pant material. But they STRETCH!!!! I wear them a lot. Mostly because they make my fat legs look half way presentable.

Here are the pants again today with a sweaterish tunic and flats:


 I keep my clothes FOREVER [as my friends can atest to]. Since my body doesn't really change in size anymore, I know that if I spend $120 on a pair of pants I will still have them in 2 years. And  because life is darn expensive I am pretty frugale with my clothing purchases! I better really like something to spend my grocery money it! haha. Just kidding Kent. I've never done that...  

Working 9 to 5

Or in my case, working 7:30 to 4. I spend a lot of time at work, so I thought it would be fun to show you what my office looks like. I loved when my friend Amber showed us her work space the other day. You know how you have a picture in your mind of what someone's work looks like? But you never really know what it actually looks like? Well, get ready, you get my work space AND ME! haha.

I work at the Capitol... everyone knows what that looks like [I hope!].

Woolloomooloo, wharf

The Wolloomooloo Wharf, also known as the Finger Wharf, was originally completed in 1915. Situated in Wolloomooloo Bay, it was a working wharf until the 1970s when container ports and airports reduced the need for wharves. In the 1990s it was redeveloped into a hotel, apartments, restaurants and a marina. Additional apartments built at the end of the wharf are some of the most expensive in Sydney. The name Woolloomooloo was adopted from an old homestead located here but there is some dispute about which Aboriginal word the name was derived from, Wallamullah meaning 'place of plenty' or Wallabahmullah meaning a 'young black kangaroo'.
