Confession: I signed up for a Bar Association seminar today because they always serve Chessmen cookies at lunch and I thought it would be a nice relaxing way to end the week. Unfortunately, my boss had something come up so I have to cover for him in court this afternoon. Not only does this mean I will leave the seminar early, but it also necessitated me wearing a suit. Admittedly, this suit is made of cotton jersey so it is very comfortable but I would still rather be the fun summer dress I had originally planned for today.
Suit: JC Penny

This blazer and dress saw a lot of action individually last year (example 1, example 2) but they were never paired together until today. Now I don't know if I'll be able to separate them.

I have to go to court this morning (in case the suit wasn't enough of a hint) so I brought out my Hayden Harnett Sonia bag. This bag is great for court days because I can fit a legal sized case file and have plenty of room for a wallet, keys, phone, etc.
Suit: Theory via Goodwill
Shirt: Lands End Canvas
Shoes: Seychelles
Scarf: Jessica Simpson

I have GOT to start taking more than one photograph in the morning. Seriously - what does this pose say about me besides "unresolved anger issues"? Awkward pose notwithstanding, I am in love with this outfit. This skirt is soooo comfortable (I think it may have been intended to be used for some sport). This blouse is also comfortable, although it is too small so I need to have perfect posture or else it gaps in front.

Yesterday I started playing around with different blogger templates. I'm still not entirely happy with this one but I like it better than the last two. To celebrate the change I am treating you all to a new background - the lobby of my office building! Sexy - not. If I ever get a tripod, I will take more photos of the outside of my building which is actually sort of interesting. But until then you're stuck with stuff like this. It is expected to be 99 degrees today - perfect day to have to be in court in a suit - not. (Look two "not" jokes in one post, just call me Borat).

This weekend I tried on almost all the pants and skirts and suits in my closet and found that 35% of them are still too small; 55% are a little loose or just ill fitting; and 10% are just right. This suit is from the just right pile.
