A comedian once joked that women get a bad rep for being vain but really, men are too. “A guy will always check himself out when he passes a mirror or a window that reflects his image,” the comedian explained. “That being said, a woman will look in any mirror, window, puddle, spoon, wine glass….”
This morning I had a very bad day with my reflection. Normally I plan what I'm going to wear while in the shower so I can be most efficient with my morning. While I did do that today, I couldn't find the turtleneck sweater I was planning on wearing once it came time to actually get dressed. I proceeded to put on not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 different outfits before I decided on what I was going to wear to work. Everything I tried on made me look like a house. Literally, my reflection was begging me not to wear the outfits I picked out. Result – I'm wearing black pants, a black sweater, and a striped shirt underneath. Bor-ing. I was also 9 minutes late to work as a result.

I keep thinking Trey and I need to get a full length mirror for our bedroom - maybe not anymore. :-) Also makes me think that I'm lucky to have to get dressed in the semi-dark every morning (well, I don't have to, but I'd wake Trey up earlier than need be if I turned all the lights on).
I think I just have clothing moods. I put on at least 3 different outfits every day, that's just my routine. And tomorrow I will probably wear one that I discarded today, it just wasn't right today.
But you're beautiful no matter what you wear!
Sarah is right, you are always beautiful :)
Ha ha, I do not even have a mirror in my room at all! And I usually get dressed in the semi-dark!
UGH! I hate days like that. Sometimes I'll go through my whole closet and decide I need to just go shopping. Wait til you get prego... then NOTHING looks right and you end up wearing the same thing all the time (aka my Corona and Hollywood shirts).
Ya, I agree with Linds, I'm sure you looked fabulous (like you do every time I see you) in everything you tried on this morning.
I won't comment on mirrors because it's against the man laws to do so.
Wow, I just realized that I didn't tell you that you always look amazing...I hope that was understood!
I'm baffeled (sp?) at how you tried so many outfits on today. I thought you looked gorgeous today! Makes me think twice about coming to you for fashion advice though considering I do that about every other day!! I'm jk! You're amazing!
Hey hottie, just go to work in your pj's like I do!! hehe
I suggest a jock strap and sombrero.
ahhh, the benefits of a uniform (1 even stricter than McA's, at that). No need to ever have to think about what to wear (just whether it is clean, dry, & wrinkle-free). I'm glad you take care in the way you look.
Hey Jen,
The pj's thing is fun for a bit but after three months the mirror turns against you. Then you feel like you need a makeover but you have nowhere to show it off so you go back to pjs.
Karen,
I think it has something to do with the air at midwest. When I was there I went through at least three outfits every morning.
The annoying ones are the ones that you thought of the night before and tried on and looked great in then by the morning light...not so much.
I can only remember one day that you didn't look great - and you were sick as #^%#$ that day and shouldn't have been at work. But the pony tail was cute.
Wow, I can't believe this drew so many comments. :)
I'm trying to picture all you girls in Catholic school uniforms...
I have days like this all the time. It's a mood thing. One day I think I look fat in a sweater, the next I look skinny. Some days I'll think I look skinny in the morning and by the afternoon I'm like, "What the hell was I thinking?!?!?" And by the way, I tried to post to apologize for forgetting your anniversary, but Blogger wouldn't let me for like two days. GAHHHH! I knew it was somewhere right around the same number as our anniversary, but I honestly thought it was after number...maybe I should look at that magnet more often that Sarah made.....
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Catholic School Girl outfits......... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
