Cute, Comfortable and the "F" word


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!!

  1. Your boots are awesome! Although it would be a shame to get paint on them ... ;o)

    I 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!
