Completely Gratuitous

Happy Friday!
{but actually, this was yesterday}

at work, ibooth ~ thanks imac!
{click to enlarge, of course}


"Sunnies" {I DIE} Tom Ford




jewel toned dress ~ vintage



belt ~ vintage: green leather/gold chain buckle


manicure ~ OPI "Have you seen my limo"
chipped ~ KLASSY




This dress has not a single tag. It's thick~ish material is most likely a polyester blend and it's about two sizes too big. When I found it, I had high hopes in changing it into a mod mini and adding something spectacular to the neckline.

...sometimes procrastination is rewarding because when I tried it on with the belt {about a year later}, I fell in love. I just pull all the extra material from the sides to the back and it works.

Cousin It


This is what my hair looks like when I do not blow it dry. I try to scrunch it but it's really straight so basically, I just don't brush it after washing it. I call it my "beachy" look. It's really just barely passable. But I don't like drying my hair unless I have to.



There is really no better way {at work} to show you my shoes when wearing a dress but it looks like I'm doing the freaking Can Can.


earrings ~ gold leaf {gift}


I added a gold collar necklace but it seemed like too much with the belt. I hate wearing bracelets to work because they clackCLACKclack on my desk when I type ...ugh. kill.



bag ~ marc by Marc Jacobs 2008
shoes ~ marc by Marc Jacobs 2006 {wedding shoes}
manicure ~ OPI "Siberian Nights" ...{I bring my own so I can do touch-ups at home} clearly, I'm not keeping up with my mani




{after work}



closest color matches




{alien ship is coming for me}


Dear World's Best Boss,

If you ever happen to come across this blog and see any of my outfit posts, I just want to say that I am truly sorry for using work time ...but, I'm very quick ~ like warp speed!

Also, I apologize for being late this week, but you've been in Europe and the traffic has been unbearable.

Sincerely,
Maegan

I love your outfit, and your beach hair. Too cute!

...love Maegan said...

First of all, thank you for the awesome comments!!! You guys always make me smile!

Everyone's monitor must be different. So, fyi, the dress is a sort of fuchsia purple, royal blue and black but the black is so old that it has a greenish tint ...the belt is very green, like grass green. not so much teal.

Again, thank you for the awesomeness ...and, I take all the photos myself :)

DaisyChain said...

You look fantastic! Wow.

Bar-b said...
