(Re)Work It!

Most of you have heard about my, um, very energetic and affectionate dog Layla.  Some of you have even had the joy of meeting her...up close and personal.  What you may not know about Layla is that, despite her lack of opposable thumbs, she is quite dexterous and can dress herself!  To boot, she has a nose for fashion!  Here is a small sampling of some of her favorite outfits.

1. Layla is sporting an outdoorsy and highly versatile fleece pullover from the Old Navy collection, circa 2000.  Although most prefer to pull this garment over their head, Layla has put a modern spin on an old classic by squeezing her snout ever so forcefully through the sleeve.  This really compresses the front quarters into a warm little bundle and keeps the eyes pressed shut for maximum protection against those chilly Dallas snow flurries.

2. Moving on to the summer essentials, Layla models a classic white cotton camisole with built in bra, courtesy of Kohl's.  That's right ladies, whether you have one set of "chest accessories" or four (and a half), this little number will keep you cool, comfortable, and supported.  Although a wonderful summer look, Layla does suggest that consumers pair it with nice light trousers or cargo shorts, as most fashionistas do not have the figure or markings to go pantsless.

3. Layla's third and final look for the evening is a tribute to the more athletic shoppers.  Here, after a long and demanding walk on which she "conducted business" and ate her fair share of abandoned ice cream cones by the pond, Layla lounges in a conservative yet playful pair of jogging shorts by Nike.  She boasts that the three inch inseam really is the way to go if you want to accentuate those collar bones.

So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen!  I hope you have enjoyed tonight's fashion show and have learned some creative new ways to rethink and rework your wardrobe.
