dressy thursday

Ok, so I'm not really new to wearing dresses to work :P but this one, I kind of had doubts with. Don't get me wrong, it's not horrible... it's nice. In fact, I can even say it's classy. :) Mom bought this dress months ago and has been nagging me to wear it to work. It's a black button-down knee-length (did I get the adjective arrangement correct? :P) dress. It came with a black belt but my mom and my sister insisted I use the red belt they also bought (so I could complete the look with a pair of red stilettos and a necklace with a heart-shaped key pendant -yes, the one some friends teased me about :P). All in all, the ensemble was actually nice (pardon me for the obvious lack of other adjectives... I'm just not used to describing outfits :D), so what made me fret and worry about wearing it? Three reasons.

First, I need to wear stilettos or, as they (my mom and sister slash fashion consultants :D) said, risk "ruining the effect" of the dress. But since I got a free ride to office (courtesy of Kuya Son... thanks!!! :D), I only have to worry about getting home without getting sprained (or ultimately embarrassed because of tripping - and the likes - which, if I may say, is very likely to happen considering my semi-clumsy nature :D), I have very little reason to contradict them. The problem of going home was partially taken care of since I got in around 7:20 am, I'd be able to go home around 4:20 pm (thank goodness for flexi-time!)... MRT won't be too crowded by then. Also, now that I think about it, I've climbed four flights of stairs (we're in the 4th floor and yes, I don't usually use elevators... kind of serves as part of my daily exercise), and I still don't feel any foreign pain. I kind of got used to high heels. Hopefully, my feet remains at this state by the end of the day :P

Second, it's a button down knee-length dress... meaning it has a slit in front!!! The slit, unfortunately, reaches my mid thigh and I'm not too comfortable exposing so much flesh. I brought a jacket with me so I could use it to cover my legs when I'm seating (gosh!!! can't believe it could even go higher when I'm seated!). Hopefully, the aircon won't be too cold today or I'd freeze to death and mom will lose her eldest child because of a black dress (kidding! :P).

Lastly, I'm quite sure my officemates will be teasing me all day... Oh I so look forward to it! Darn!
