Let’s Get Physical, Physical, I Wanna Get Phycialllllllll

A co-worker is going to move to a different city. She is staying on the team and working remotely, but we will miss seeing her sweet face each day. As a going away gift, we all took silly pictures of ourselves for a scrapbook we put together for her. I originally wanted to dress up in a big cocktail dress and heels and mow a lawn, but getting at a lawn mower was too much trouble.
Instead, I got all dolled up to exercise. The joke was based on my hatred for both exercise and the outdoors as well as my tendency to overdress for almost any occasion.

Clearly this is what I wear to do Pilates.

Clearly this is what I wear to do Pilates.

And because we were taking these in front of the building and therefore the FREEWAY…

Clearly this is what I wear to do Pilates.

We* just threw that in for the commuters.

*by which I mean my boss and I, as she instigated the entire thing, including me stripping down to this workout gear hidden from said leaving co-worker under my work clothes, again, in front of the freeway

Oh god, I love those shoes. You are being awesome and hilarious here and I should, therefore, say something more about those things. But my shoe love is making everything else fuzzy.

Can we see more outfits involving those shoes very soon?

I just recently found your blog and just love it! I also am on a strict budget and you have inspired me to rethink my closet.

Those shoes are amazing!!

The shoes are fabulous! I can think of several people who would love them, myself included. Ditto Heather's remark re: finding the blog, strict budget and rethinking the closet.
