				<description>&#060;p&#062;Thanks ladies!  I think I am going to L O V E this simple dress that the BF pooh pooh'ed at first glance.&#060;br /&#062;
Una, Lol at being plugged in.  And Denise, thanks for the jazzy cool shout out :)&#060;br /&#062;
I would get the bear, but I already have a bunch of smiley face pillows and a purple velvet frog crowding the bed ha ha.  We have a whimsical side in our household ;)&#060;br /&#062;
Marianna, a happy birthday to you as well!  I am celebrating turning 21 two times over . . . but I'm going running before dinner, as opposed to hitting the bars twice as hard hee hee.  Might be getting smarter as I get older  <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-wink icon-emoticon-wink "></span>

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Costco bears?  Well, at least you looked fab in your red shirt - and the ruching adds nice textural interest to the bear fur ;-)&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Sorry to hear about your job postponement  <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-sad icon-emoticon-sad "></span>   Gah! I hope there are no additional delays, but smart of you to keep up the search -- and looking wonderful in your new dress.  You look smartly appropriate for the occasion!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Aw, Mo, have another bear hug! Those are some awesome pics, by the way. And an awesome outfit too --- love the femininity of the top, toned down by the khaki shorts.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;So glad you got that dress. It looks like it has the makings of a great transitional item too.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Too cute! I and I love the olive-y &#034;paper bag&#034; dress on you - it looks fabulous, especially with that belt you've paired it with. I still can't believe you got it for a mere $8. Excellent buy! &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Are you going to get one of those bears? I've seen them in Costco myself (not lately, but in the past) and been tempted to get one. &#038;lt;--stop laughing!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;You look fab Mo - that is indeed a bummer about the job though. Love the pic with you hugging the bear! I bet he wanted to come home with you...

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Bears, oh my! Wow, and they are big 'uns... good thing you tamed them with a hug. :)&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Love the red with olive, as well as the overall utility vibe here. And I must say I'm kinda jealous of your town - I'd love to wear your dress on business meet &#038;amp; greets!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Love you  in #6!  That's my fave, I tried on a dress like that at Target last year and still kicking myself that I didn't buy it.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;You look like a jazz musician in #4, so cool and grooving to the downbeat.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I know the pushback on work must be stressful for you - hope you continue to handle that with the grace and humor you ares showing today! The bear hug is very cute. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I like your take on casual - still fairly dressed up for &#034;dressed down&#034;. Perfect.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Those are some enormous bears! Wow! I love all of these outfits, especially the black jacket (very chic and sharp). I love the mix of the bright tops with the more neutral bottoms, and the paper bag dress is fab.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I am sorry that your start date has been delayed, but it is nice to see you :).

				<description>&#060;p&#062;So I'm a big fat liar - here I still am!  In all fairness, the job postponement is a huge bummer but I'm trying to stay light hearted.&#060;br /&#062;
So here we have a few WIW from this week.  Yesterday we went to Costco (and I was supposed to train for an hour at work, but that has been delayed - boo).  I was attacked by a pile of bears, but then they let me bear hug them  <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-smile icon-emoticon-smile "></span>   (note to self, the overhead sun shadows are not a good look with ruched clothing!)&#060;br /&#062;
The previous day we headed to a casino for $1 tacos.  I also had my black Guess jacket on, but got no pic, so here's a prior shot of it (pic 5).  So, hardware of some kind on each and every item (including the zippered pants pockets) but it doesn't read as overload to me.  Maybe I'm delusional, though :P&#060;br /&#062;
And lastly, today I wore the 'paper bag' dress to drop off and pick up job applications.  No, it's not interview attire, but it is appropriate enough in our town for meet and greet type of situations.  So glad I went back and spent my $8 on it!  &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Thanks for looking and any comments!
&#060;/p&#062;
