To Match My Shrunken Head

Just got back from my first meeting with Dr. Shrink (to brazenly steal a MaryK-ism), and I snapped an outfit photo in the lobby while I was waiting - sorry, that isn't The Couch where all the magic happens! It was a good session, and I will be going back for more.

The outfit was chosen for varied levels of comfort: sitting in a cushy chair, meeting someone new, not looking like a pauper in the upscale neighborhood, walking to and from the car, happy memories.

    I'm glad your session was helpful. You look great! I 'm enjoying the color of the blazer (purplish-blue?) with your olive pants .

    Aw, you look so relaxed. Glad you are doing the counseling. I love the outfit. Must hunt down the thread on the galaxy boots and what was decided (I assume you posted about them?)..

  • MsMary replied 11 years ago

    Wow! You look ridiculously good! I'm sure you were the most stylish lass Dr. Shrink saw all day!! I'm glad you two hit it off nicely!

    Yes, we all need a dr shrink from time to time. Yey for another pretty outfit. I wish you a lot of good luck with this journey. it can get disconcerting at times but do not give up;)

    You look very good. Glad your session went well.

  • Ginkgo replied 11 years ago

    Love both the outfit and the confident pose -- you look like you own the place! Glad it was a good meeting.

    How many shrinks does it take to change a light bulb?

    None - but the light bulb has to want to change.

    Nice to see you:)

  • tarzy replied 11 years ago

    Fabulous outfit to get shrunk in! Might as well look fabulous while you TCB.

    (And I can't help noticing that painting in back of you, with what looks like a screaming head? Or is that just my Rorschach interpretation?)

  • Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago

    Love you in that cobalt jacket Rae - glad it went well :)

  • CocoLion replied 11 years ago

    Nice waiting room -- hopefully the good taste is a reflection of the therapeutic quality. The bright blue topper really adds something to the look. According to the Shopbop editors, a bright blazer is a wardrobe must-have. :-)

    Una, I see you have found the boot thread - I replied and directed you to the outcome! :)

    Mary, as a weird aside, Dr. Shrink asked if I'd ever thought of acting because of my "unique look." I think he was just making conversation, but I chuckled inside because it seemed like such an LA thing.

    Tara, I will have to look at that painting more closely next week! As you see, the couch faces the other way, so I barely saw it. Now I'm wondering, too!

  • Tina.b replied 11 years ago

    Love that you dressed with thought and intention for your appointment. You look beyond fabulous in cobalt! Hope it went well. :)

  • Suz replied 11 years ago

    As long as he doesn't shrink your jacket!!

    You look gorgeous, Rae, and so does that waiting room, and I am really glad you are doing this smart and caring thing for yourself. I consider my year of therapy as one of the best investments I ever made.

  • Raisin replied 11 years ago

    Glad you had a good session. That blue blazer is amaaaaaaaazing!

  • Thistle replied 11 years ago

    You look gorgeous, Rae, especially in that beautiful jacket! I am glad things went well today.

  • Jaime replied 11 years ago

    Well you look fantastic. I was a little afraid of seeing a real shrunken head when I saw your title. Glad your beautiful head it still in place!

  • Amy replied 11 years ago

    You look wonderful! I'm still in love with that blue jacket. It looks amazing on you.

  • Kristin L replied 11 years ago

    I'm glad you had a great session! And it looks like you chose the right outfit for it.

  • Aida replied 11 years ago

    Ooooh the colors and vibe here are brilliant! The cobalt+black (urban) paired with the faded denim+rugged brown (country) is super fun. Always love seeing that leopard tee ^^ Glad to hear the session went well!

  • Beth Ann replied 11 years ago

    Beautiful cobalt --- great rate boots. You look vibrant, but casual, a great look for a therapeutic environment. Love the couch, too!

  • Mo replied 11 years ago

    another fan of the blue jacket. Glad to hear your session went well.

  • Day Vies replied 11 years ago

    Very very cute as usual. I love the cobalt blazer.

  • Katiepea replied 11 years ago

    I really like your outfit and think your jacket is fab and extra snazzy! (Do *not* ask me where on earth that word came from, it just popped into my head for some strange reason... :-))

    You look so relaxed, I would swear it was after the appointment, rather than before!

  • Scarlet replied 11 years ago

    So glad you have the opportunity to shrink your head and that it was helpful. I LOVE the outfit. The jacket and boots make a great mix.

  • goldenpig replied 11 years ago

    Wow, you look great--love the cobalt blazer and the boots! So glad Dr. Shrink was helpful. You look relaxed, confident and happy which warms my heart.

  • replied 11 years ago

    You look wonderful, Rae. I'm glad you had a kitty in there for your first session!

  • sarah replied 11 years ago

    You look great! Glad you found someone you like - that's half the battle.

  • Janet replied 11 years ago

    I'm so glad you're talking with someone! Hugs to you.

    You look fantastic! Love that blue/purple color and the stompy boots. :-)

  • Mochi replied 11 years ago

    Hey there, pretty woman. You look great and a half. Hugs and more hugs.

  • rachylou replied 11 years ago

    Is a Californian a Californian if they don't have a shrink? I think it's the $8 almond milk that's optional...

    Love that blue. Also, that couch is kinda hip...
