Outfit of the Day: The Fake It Till You Make It Edition With the Kate Spade Terri Dress

July 9th, 2014 by Karen 14 Comments

On days when I look like this…

Kate Spade Terri Dress
Dear world, I’m completely responsible and have all my ish together!

…inside, I usually feel like this:

Kate Spade Terri Dress
Wha?

LOL! You know what they say. Fake it till you make it.

So, today my main driving focus has been Designer Shoe Warehouse.

I really, really want to go look at sandals, so I sort of scheduled my entire afternoon around it.

And because it’s DSW, and I love DSW with a burning hot passion, I want to wear something with a little flair (woman cannot live on stretchy skinny jeans and cat t-shirts alone).

You can’t take yourself too seriously when you’re wearing a bright, fun color like this.

I mean, you could…but it would be difficult. Reddish coral, which I love wearing in the summer with a tan, isn’t exactly compatible with “fussy.”

Although I like how these shoes look with the outfit, my feet are utterly killing me in these pics — hence, part of the reason I want to go to DSW today.

I’d love a pair of comfy gold sandals to wear with this dress (my birthday present from El Hub), and I don’t currently have any comfy gold sandals that I can actually walk in.

I’m hoping to find a pair I can dress up with this dress, and dress down with dark denim.

Speaking of tweed (the dress is tweed), you gotta watch out for accessories like jewelry that could snag on it.

Yes, I speak from personal experience.

So, my mission, as I have accepted it, is to find a pair of gold sandals that I can dress up and dress down.

Wish me luck! 🙂

    So cute! I ordered a couple work dresses from Macy’s – one arrived today, the fit is very flattering, but it’s a little tight in the bust – I ordered another in the same cut, but a different fabric, so hopefully that will work!

    I feel ridiculous in statement necklaces, but they always look so cute!

      Oh nice! Which one did you get? I have to say…I really love dresses. They make getting dressed easy in the morning.

      As for statement necklaces, I feel a little like Mrs. Roper in them sometimes, but I dig ’em.

    The nails and lips were bright, but not too much with the dress. I love it! Comfy gold sandals are on my list too. I hope you found a great pair…and show them to us all 🙂

    The dress is great! Nice work, El Hub (or El Hub’s gift certificate?). If he picked that out himself, he’s getting 5 giant, gold stars! 🙂

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
