Birthday outfit blues...

[Deleted]

Everything I have ordered for my birthday dinner this weekend has been a fail I would go to the mall, but I can't walk it because of my damn foot - which is another reason I'm sad, because I'm not sure heels, or even wedges, will be my friend even for a couple hours.  And I NEVER go out without an added 4 inches. 

I'm sure everything will come together in the end, but I just wanted to cry about it to someone lol.

Anyways, any suggestions on tops are welcome.  No sleeveless, I like flowy tops, has to come in XL (or a 0X if plus size), and can be shipped overnight (or 2 day shipping if I can get the order in before 3pm at most places).

I have jeans covered... have a pair of Kut skinny jeans and pair of straight Paige jeans.  I'm not use to wearing straight jeans so I have pondered returning the Paige jeans, but for the price I paid during the anniversary sale, I kind of would like to find a reason to wear them.  But maybe a more fitted top would look better, to equal out my top half with the bottom half.

Outfit 1: My issue - the top is cute, but I really prefer vnecks because then I feel like I have a boob shelf.  And the jeans, they deliver on Friday and think I ordered a size too big :-\

Outfit 2:  My issue - the top won't be delivered until Friday or Saturday, or not at all.  And it might look like a sac on me.

Outfit 3:  The leather top from outfit one, and these Paige jeans... which I am pondering returning.  My issue - the jeans are wider at the bottom and I would definitely have to wear heels because they have a longer inseam.

Have they determined what is wrong with your foot yet?

I have an inflamed nerve in my foot so all the tendons around it are inflamed too.  I've had 2 cortisone shots - one in the nerve and one surrounding the area - and they gave me a steroid that I read up on and decided not to take it.  Instead I have been poppin aleve like candy and doing Epson salt soaks every night and then icing it.  I have a massage tonight and am going to have them focus on my foot.  Fingers crossed!

Have you looked for tops on the rack.com? I have had good luck finding stuff on there, and it is easy to return later.

What are the patterned pants??

Id do black or even white skinnies with that leather top and a sparkly statement necklace. The leather is sexy and I love the cut of the top.

Try not to be too down on yourself. A few years ago I had just had surgery on my foot and couldn't wear heels on my birthday...the world kept rotating and all was well

This year my DH broke his leg on Feb 28. He had surgery on Mar 12. My birthday was Mar 17. We moved on Mar 20. It was a CRAZY month and I barely survived with my sanity and my marriage, let alone having a cute outfit on my birthday lol I actually spent my birthday pushing DH in a wheelchair uphill into Red Robin, then both of my kids screaming all through dinner (they are usually great), and then watched some kids movie just so I could get a sitter to watch my younger one. It was crazy and no fun while it was happening, but now a few months later I can look back and laugh

So have fun on your birthday! I'm sure you will look fabulous regardless of what you're wearing. Jeans and a cleavage top are always an easy outfit! Happy birthday!
