For years I have been trying to find the perfect winter white outfit. As goals go, this one is probably one of my least practical as white + me = stains. However, on Friday I found this off white skirt at the cheap discount place down the street and threw caution to the wind. The sweater is not quite as yellow as it seems in the photo and I am very happy with the result.

For a short week it sure has been busy. In addition to testing the limits of how long a person can survive without sleep and exposing stains on the internet, I have run 15 miles, eaten a lot of pumpkin seeds, discovered that walking two miles in high heels will make your shins sore, learned about capital gains taxes, had my office repainted, discovered hilariously cryptic post it notes* behind my desk, finally changed from a summer bag to a fall one, and wrote a really long run-on sentence.

*Post it notes found behind my desk. Not my handwriting (nor anyone in this office). What could they mean?

I am pretty sure if you checked my closet in 1987 you'd find an outfit nearly identical to this one (albeit 3 sizes smaller). The big difference is that my 1987 self would never have mixed stripes and animal prints.

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.

Ever have such a busy weekend that you need another one to recover? Although I had a wonderful time visiting with my sister and brother--in-law on Saturday and running the 5k yesterday (time: 29:01 minutes), I need another day to recover.

One of these days I am going to either learn how to style this dress so it is flattering, or give up and let someone else enjoy it. Today is neither of those days.
