Today Daryl was whistling, singing and blaring Love Shack all day. Needless to say, this song was stuck in my head all day.
So, mid-day, I turned to Sally, the new paralegal, and told her "man is there a more annoying song to be stuck in your head?" She turns to me and said, "I don't think I know that song." Me=blank expression of disbelief.
Me-"Surely you have heard this song. Anyone who has been to a wedding since 1984 has heard this song." I Google that bad boy, turn it up, start singing it word for word. She stares blankly. Sally-"Um, nope. Never heard it."
I'm sorry, are you a unicorn? WHO HAS NEVER HEARD LOVE SHACK BEFORE??????
Anyway, that was how I spent the better part of my morning, in amazement and on a quest to introduce Sally to Love Shack.
I tried to do this french braid headband thing with my hair today. It kind of worked. But my flat iron was not cooperating. So I had these strange waves all day, but maybe it will be better next time.
Also, I have determined this will be my favorite dress to remix for fall. I've worn it
here before (and
here). It was one of those dresses that I bought because of its rich color and vintage 70's fabric, but I honestly didn't see myself wearing it much. Such a fool I was!
So, the lesson learned today, ladies, is that you are never too young to teach an older paralegal new tricks. Seriously, I don't know that I will ever recover from this travesty.

Love this outfit! The colors are so perfect for fall, and you look really great.
ReplyDeleteI don't know which song is more awesome - Love Shack or Groove is in the Heart by Deeelite. Ah, 90s funk.
ReplyDeleteBTW, brooch - awesome.
Thanks so much Angeline!

ReplyDeleteand really, that is one song you do not want stuck in your head!
Thanks for your lovely comment, You look so beautiful that dress is amazing!
ReplyDeleteWOW,this color is great on you!!!Love the dress and the entire look: Fall's screaming!
ReplyDeleteHahah I'm surprised too. Who doesn't know the loveshack? Even I'm Asian and I know the loveshack. Oh well, you can teach an old dog new tricks, err new songs, errr old songs? Lol in any case, you've done your bit for the world today with the miseducation of 80's music.

That dress is SO awesome and I love the brooch too! Ugh, between waitressing, bartending, and the photo booth I have been to a wedding a week for the past 13 years... EVERY one will play Love Shack and Billy Jean. Somehow I'm still not sick of Billy Jean.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness..i love the way you layered the oxford under the dress! it makes it perfecttt for fall! and that color is so perfect!
ReplyDeleteYou're going to have so much fun styling this dress come fall! Love how you layered it with the oxford and the brooch is the perfect touch of dazzle. I'm shocked your coworker had never heard Love Shack before. I grew up dancing around the kitchen with my dad to this whole B52's album. Glad you showed her what she was missing!
ReplyDeleteAre you a unicorn?? Ha ha, she very well might be, we all know Love Shack. I love this pumpkin dress for fall, it's such a lovely color and silhouette on you. Those boots and the pin are such great choices for it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
ReplyDeleteTotally! Sorry to play it on here, but I felt everyone could share my pain (or joy if the mood strikes). Thanks Lyddie!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Freesia!
ReplyDeleteThank you Federica! I am almost excited enough about fall to scream it to the rooftops.
ReplyDeleteLOL thank you Sydney! I am glad to know that I have played my part.
ReplyDeleteTotally! Thanks Veronica! You too.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteRight?!?!?! Honestly, it would be hard not to at least continue humming to Billy Joel. It just can't be avoided.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Jessica!
