What was that address again?: Wagamama

I am at work. It's 6.22pm on a Friday night. PARTY animal am I huh. Anywho, at 5.47pm, knowing how I am always running late for EVERYTHING, I ordered my Wagamama dinner (yes lots of peeps clicked BUY so the voucher is activated and it was very exciting for me to order my dinner online - far too exciting now that I think of it - $26 worth for $13 - BARGAIN) for pick up at 6.47pm. It only takes about 5mins to get there from here so not such good thinking after all as I have lost the plot and despite having LOTS of work to do (I know what my weekend will entail; had to get my editor to check that one as I am a shocking speller) I can not concentrate any longer and really just want to go home.

So while my dinner cooks, I thought I'd take some office chic photos of what I am wearing today - haha.

The full body shot (with a smile)

The with jacket (that maybe doesn't fit as well as I thought although I haven't been able to do it up for years so YAY) against the funky pink wall shot

The looks like I am doing a weird pose but I just actually lost my footing and nearly stacked it back shot

Anyway. Deats - Dress is Lisa Ho which I got off Ebay in about November last year. It was this dress versus a Marc my MJ dress (the red and brown one Lily wore on HIMYM in I think season 4). I lost the MJ but won this. Problem was that is was too tight and I could not breathe while wearing it. One of the best things about losing weight is that this dress fits. I F'n love it to death. Top and Tights are Target. Love Target for basics. Shoes are surprise surprise Nude Footwear (can't do white letters dammit). Half my shoes collection is Nude. I love their shoes as they are stylish and comfortable. They also fit my fat, wide, bunion riddled "hobbit" feet (my boss actually told me I had hobbit feet once - thanks Bossco). I feel really great in this outfit. It probably needs an iron though (another fun weekend job).

Fate also passed my way today. I was walking into the coffee shop and it hit me that I NEEDED a skirt with a bicycle pattern. That is lots of pictures of bikes all over it. I think I was subconsciously reviewing Blonde Salad’s recent blog from the other day about matching skirts. Yes I have checked, and that is where I was getting it from. MY skirt however will be navy with white large (CD sized) bikes (isn’t bike such an ugly word compared to bicycle) and either a-line or pencil shaped (my imagination had not got that far). Then I decided that I didn’t just need a bicycle skirt, but I needed a whole wardrobe full of clothing covered in large animal/object-orientated patterns (hello Miu Miu influence).

Well, I had not been back in the office but two minutes when secy came to talk about electric blankets and reminded me that I had not checked my online sale stores yet. So, what did I do next, I went to Ozsale and discovered this Amelio dress in all its glory for $359 OFF!! Face Dress + Belt + Tights = Fabbo. You may not believe me now but trust me, the dress will win you over. Ugly is the new ... not ugly.

Now I have never heard of Amelio, and I could not locate any information about the brand online but it is 100% silk and it has bloody (not bloody bloody Looloo, you don’t have to look away) large colourful faces on it. So once again, I HAD to have it.

I also HAD to have this peacock one. I am not 100% sold on the neckline but I figure I can hack it up and make it look better, or convince mother it was her idea to offer that she fix it for me :-)

I nearly HAD to have this butterfly one but I decided the shape was not me.

Oh, shit, it’s now 6.35 – need to go get dinner. BWB.

Ok so I am back. It's 9.12. Best friend slash housemate and I just spent about an hour sitting on the couch next to each other with our computers on our laps and ABC 3 "WE'RE BACK TOMMORROW FROM 6.00AM" screen muted on the tv while we blogged (ok I blogged, she was reading blogs). We are a little odd sometimes. Once and a while, we will sit within touching distance and have lengthy discussions (or slagging each other off sessions) on facebook. Makes sense huh.

Dinner was yum btw. The guy at Wagamama obviously thought I had ordered too much food as he said "You'll want two sets of chopsticks right?". I said no. Maybe he just thought I was just so stunningly beautiful and stylish that I just must be taking dinner home to my boyfriend/fiancé/husband/significant other. He would be wrong there though. This gal generally only eats for one :-( In reality I just ordered two entrees, rice and miso. And anyway, I can't use chopsticks. I eat too quickly to take the slow torture of picking and eating tiny pieces of food bit at a time. And the crappy Wagamama ones give me the heebie-jeebies, like nail files or newspaper. Not that I am picky.

On an end note, apparently that is a hat, not a tree.

Sarah J, why do you let them do this you? You are such a classic classy candid girl. You are Sarah J. The character you play, Carrie, wears things like trees on her head, not you. If you give them a chance, people might be able to catch on there is a difference. I know it is probably just written in your contract but you are SJP, get out of it.

Ok, so I must be written in your contract....
