Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays I work in the shop (Total Bliss) painting furniture and helping customers with paint and whatever else may need attention. I'm there for an average of 5 hours at a time that feel like 5 minutes. I'm either on my feet or sitting on the floor painting!
So, ones outfit needs to be Comfortable, especially in the footwear department. In the Function Department I try to avoid paints that fall down when I bend over...since I do a lot of that! I'm sure I'd scare a few customers off with that scene! I also need to have on something that I don't care if paint gets all over because I am notorious for making a mess! And lastly I need to have some sense of Cuteness!
I started with my favorite gray leggings that are already full of paint. They don't fall down and are tight in that right way that I feel everything is "held in"! I know you know what I'm talking about! I added some cute long socks with a ruffle (hard to see in the picture). Lastly, a girls feet have to be comfortable and I don't do cheap shoes! I added my black Born boots. They are insanely comfortable. I've decided they are my official work boots. If they get paint on them I'm OK with it. Worth it!
I also have to wear short sleeves because I get so hot working. Then I thew on a Juicy Couture dress I found at a Consignment Shop. It is the softest cotton ever!!
Until I warm up at work I do need a little sleeve cover so I threw on my go to gray wrap. Ok, so I looked in the mirror and this is what I saw.....
CAN YOU SAY DEBBIE ALLEN FROM THE SHOW FAME! ?! UGH!
All I needed was some leg warmers and I'd be her!
So, I said the "F" word and walked out the door and had a super fab comfortable day!!!
I might even wear the outfit again Thursday and Friday!!
Your boots are awesome! Although it would be a shame to get paint on them ... ;o)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about cheap footwear - when working retail, my favourites were Trippen. You could stand in a pair of those for 9 hours and your feet still wouldn't hurt!
I'm positive the "F" word must have been FANTASTIC!! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit~!
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit! Wish I could look that good painting!
