Sometimes You Find That Perfect Piece

Heather said...: I like it and I like it over the jeans. Keep in mind that I am sitting in a pair of knit pants, a shirt and Valentine's socks though. There is no accounting for taste hunh?; February 14, 2008 at 5:42 PM
Torey said...: Schnazy!!!!!! I love it. I'm so into the shirt dress thing. It serves so many purposes.

You can just wear like a human being. OR you can wear it when you're pregnant OR you can stick a whole baby under there to nurse. Alternately you can sneak food into movies with it!; February 14, 2008 at 6:05 PM
Mrs Furious said...: Torey,

LMAO

Heather,
"and Valentine's socks"
That's okay I was wearing Christmas socks yesterday... which is always a sign that the laundry is overdue!; February 14, 2008 at 6:20 PM
Preppy Mama said...: Love it! Where did you get it?
Very Chic!!!; February 14, 2008 at 6:26 PM
Mrs Furious said...: Preppy Mama,
Old Navy! $34.50. They've got a line I believe is literally called something like "Safari Chic" Of course everything is summer now but I actually like this better over pants anyway.; February 14, 2008 at 8:32 PM
Julie said...: Love it! Looks so good on you!; February 14, 2008 at 8:33 PM
Kiki said...: Mrs. F, ( I said that in a sing song voice) I knew it was Old Navy, I am crazy about a lot of stuff there...I just bought the yoga pants there and am trying to restrain from using all my discount there...and all of Ken's patience!!!

You look F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S!!! I am so glad that you found something you like and you really do look great. What shoe are you wearing with this safari/pant combo. Just curious??? Look at you doing my Fashionable Friday for me!!!; February 14, 2008 at 9:35 PM
Mrs Furious said...: Kiki,
well in these pics I'm wearing my hot pink slippers ;)
BUT at ON I saw some cute kind of zebra print ballet flats... I feel like that would be a good choice (yes?) the jean length requires flats.

Julie,
thank you.
I hope you had something a little more exciting then your skinny cow for dessert tonight!; February 14, 2008 at 9:49 PM
Julie said...: Mrs. F, we all went to Jack's 2nd grade Valentine's day concert tonight and then I let the boys pick something out at the store afterwards. They chose Sour patch kids...so I partook in that as well since I am a sugar addict...just a few, but still. Ewww, gross, but I didn't want to stop eating them.

Oh, I am still going to eat my skinny cow tonight.; February 14, 2008 at 10:01 PM
Mrs Furious said...: Julie,
I'm happy to hear your V-Day sounds about as *hot* as ours ;); February 14, 2008 at 10:10 PM
Julie said...: Oh, it's hot alright...sitting here on the couch with my polar fleece bathrobe on...flannels underneath.

Yup, Tom's asleep in our bed with Murphy...he went to lie down with him to help M to sleep and now says he's just "resting"...fully clothed. Oh yeah, I am not giving Murphy up to his own bed until this flippin' cold weather is done. He really warms up the bed...he's like a heating pad.

I will be eating that skinny cow by myself on the couch while watching the latest Biggest Loser (dvr'd).

Wow, when did my life get this pathetic? Oh yeah, about 8 years ago when I had my first baby and moved out of the city. Pathetic or not, I still love it though...kids, country, skinny cows, sleeping husband and all. I just want that damn Whole Foods to open up near me then my life would be complete:); February 14, 2008 at 10:23 PM
Kiki said...: Uh huh, thos eflats would be good, when you try them on makes ure you look at them from the side...I have a size ten foot (I'm 5'10") so they looked too pointy on my already long foot, but you are a petite flower, so they will probably look darling on you! This is almost as good as shopping with you in person!!Heehee!; February 14, 2008 at 11:23 PM
Kiki said...: Wow, its late+I'm tired=bad typing!!; February 14, 2008 at 11:24 PM
Anonymous said...: Mrs. F- I've been a closet reader for a while now, this is my first comment- love the dress- totally my thing too- but why are you keeping us hanging on the hair? What gives? When are we going to see the snazzy new 'do?; February 15, 2008 at 1:55 AM
Mrs Furious said...: Kiki,
okay I'll check for the pointy factor... I only wear a 6 so probably not so pronounced in my size. But either way I'll be looking for a kind of funky patterned ballet flat.

And you can come shopping with me whenever you want ;); February 15, 2008 at 9:30 AM
Nutmeg said...: Kiki called you a petite flower and that is awesome.

I saw this outfit on a commercial yesterday and I was like... Isn't that Mrs. F's dress?

Maybe I'll ditch work early and go shopping with Eli. The poor child has hardly any clothes.; February 15, 2008 at 9:30 AM
Mrs Furious said...: Canatloupe,
Hey thanks for outing yourself ;)

Well the thing with the hair is 2 parted

#1 OF COURSE it hasn't looked as bad since I said that... isn't that always the way?!

#2 Because I have the girls all day I can really only get in for a cut on the weekend it is going to be another week until I can get in.

Stay tuned. I think I'm still doing it.; February 15, 2008 at 9:45 AM
Mrs Furious said...: Nutmeg,
they are having a big 40% sale on kids and baby stuff.... Go!; February 15, 2008 at 9:57 AM
Jaime said...: hehe, I just saw the commercial yesterday too. I wonder if they make em in the right size for us tall chicks. I'm so going this weekend!

Oh, and I already have little leopard print flats that are going to look fab with it! :); February 15, 2008 at 12:52 PM
eurydice said...: i must say you are looking very nice and thin - good work!; February 15, 2008 at 1:12 PM
Mrs Furious said...: Eurydice,
you know what is great? that I finally feel thin enough that I am comfortable wearing something that isn't really body skimming... before I would have worried that people would think I was hiding something. Now I just know I'm thin and that no one is thinking otherwise... it is totally liberating!; February 15, 2008 at 1:45 PM
Mrs Furious said...: bi0nicw0man,
I have a long torso so it might not fit that much differently. It is a bit short to wear without pants even on me.; February 15, 2008 at 1:46 PM
eurydice said...: i know what you mean. and you know what they say... that many people should be wearing their clothes "one size bigger" - it's nice to know you are wearing the right size, it hangs well (no unsightly rolls), and there is room to spare.

now that my jeans actually fit, i can't imagine how i used to squeeze into pants as a teenager. how did i ever think that looked good? delusions!; February 15, 2008 at 3:15 PM
Amy said...: oh, that's so cute! i love it. i might have to run over the right now!; February 15, 2008 at 3:52 PM
Mrs Furious said...: Amy,
I totally think it would look cute on you!; February 15, 2008 at 6:36 PM
