The Double Bs
Sexy time dresses have their place, and my closet is rarely one of them. I’ll wear form hugging pieces every now and then, but for the most part I stay away from items that hug the Double Bs – the boobs and the butt. But(t) sometimes you have to embrace your inner Marilyn, Brigitte, and Snooki, and flaunt what you got. Such was my mindset when I received this Cut25 body con dress, which I knew upon opening was going to be all up in my Double Bs. Since it was still a little too cool outside for naked arms, I threw on a simple black blazer, which ended up yielding a more conservative look that could perhaps even be appropriate for the after work cocktail? Perchaps? Gin martini straight up, extra olives? Hmmmkaaay.
Also, if you’re like me and prefer to detract from your Double Bs, the blazer is a great way to go. Everyone knows you’re still wearing a tight dress under there but they’re not seeing your Beyonce. Having said that, after a few gin martinis Beyonce may just be ready to come out and do the Single Ladies dance. And that is where I shall end today.

The Uniform
Before I get into the outfit details, allow me to explain this photo shoot location. Emily and I went to Petco. Why, you ask? Well, for one it’s cold outside and I didn’t feel like freezing my fingers off and I also just happen to love pet stores. This should come as no surprise since I’ve done everything but keep my obsession with animals a secret. We eventually got asked to leave (no photos in Petco, go figure) but we managed to get some time in with some playful kittens, a few fishies, and a couple of fat hampsters.
Now onto the outfit…
Some weeks I’m as creative as they come when I get dressed in the morning; trying out different patterns, prints, silhouettes, potato sacks, etc. This week was not one of those week and you’re pretty much lookin’ at my day-to-day uniform. Simple graphic tee, skinny black jeans (duh), basic blazer, and some booties. Ordinary? Yes. Polished? I’d like to think so. Worthy of a trip to your local pet store? Definitely.
woof!
