OOTD: Rampage Top & Jeans

This outfit is what happens when the stars align & you bring out the big guns.

Top

Rampage. (when Rampage was still a retail store and before it was by way of Macy's) I purchased this back in 2005 when I was working in a little legal office. It was purchased to be somewhat of a Monday morning top. It has survived through the years and hasn't fit for a while due to eating my feelings and birth control weight gain but now that I'm losing some weight again, it actually fit & I thought it was perfect for another Monday morning office action.

Jeans.

Victoria's Secret (by way of Plato's closet) What a find. So fortunate to find jeans that fit my 4'10 height!

Shoes.

Steve Madden (by way of Macy's). Purchased for a wedding, but trust me, these are a sexy staple that will be making a ton of appearances on this blog.

OOTD: Classic 50's Secretary meets Sunday Morning best.

I've always been a sucker for the 40/50's inspired wardrobe. It's always been something that stood out to me as timeless, classic and with a beautiful pinup property to it. I do wish I had a better picture of this outfit but I'll update with a better one once I wear it again.

Cardigan.

Staple! I got that from Target. It seems to be the only place to get a simple decent cardigan nowadays.

Top. 

Forever XXI. One of their premium tops for work. I actually chose to buy this every though it was a size too large because the detailing on the front (pleather flowers) captivated me. It has a smock quality to it since the sleeves are capped in a way. And since the front is adorned so heavily I have no need for a necklace when I wear this! Just a pair of studs will do it :) I have no idea how the hell I am going to wash this shirt (I may have to take it to get dry-cleaned) but it is a work of art & I'm proud to own it.

Skirt. 

Forever XXI, clearance rack. This is a purple satin skirt. Lol when I bought it, a friend of mine told me that I was crazy and would never wear it again. I haven't worn it since Easter. She might of been right, but no one wears a purple skirt. It's something I'll say that is unique to my wardrobe. I'm gonna wear it again soon. Haha, I have no idea where but everntually.

Shoes. 

Rampage by way of... Ross? or Marshalls? I can't remember, the only thing I do know is these are a pair of peeptoe pumps that I refuse to let go of.. even if the shoe repair people ruined them and they sqeak when I walk in them. They're patent with a ruffle going across the front and just classy. I love them.
