A while back the Daily Show did an interview with a purported science teacher who posited that the odds of the world ending due to some test that was being run were 50/50. It will either happen or it won't. 50/50. There is also a 50/50 chance that this outfit is super cute and stylistically brave and not an odd mishmash of whatever was handy this morning. It is or it isn't. 50/50. There is also a 50/50 chance that this is not a ridiculous pose. Actually, I think the odds are 100 on that one.

I was really tired this morning so I dressed for comfort. To make the fact that I am wearing a t-shirt and fancy sweatpants slightly less noticeable, I threw on a jersey blazer. Which was wise because I am freezing. This weather is so annoying!

It probably doesn't look like much, but this skirt is quite a miracle worker. It is made from some fiber that keeps everything in place and makes you feel as if you spent the weekend eating vegetables and drinking kale smoothies, when, in fact, you ate 16 kinds of ice cream and drank a few pitchers of margaritas.

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.

Why do I lean at a strange angle in every photograph I take? Why can I never spell the word Plaintiff correctly on the first try? Why am I always craving M&Ms? Why do I dream in the third person? Why can't I get just one kiss? Why would someone give away this cool shirt and why did it take me months to wear it?

If you haven't figured it out by now, I am not a fashion expert. I cannot tell you what brands are hot or what the latest fashion trends are going to be. However, there is one sartorial subject upon which I do consider myself an expert - namely - what to wear the day after you eat your weight in ice cream cake, fondue, and beer. I present exhibit A - a large (hides bulges) and soft (nice and quiet if you have a hangover) tunic (with pockets for your Advil); soft forgiving stretch pants; and flats.

This is not at all the outfit I had in mind for today. But when I went to pull out the jeans I intended to wear, I saw this skirt and my inner five year old decided she wanted to play with color and this is the result. I am not sure if it works but the gentleman at the mental health facility across the street did take a break from his ranting to tell me I had pretty legs* which I'm taking as a win.
*okay, he might have said pretty eggs but I don't think he had the x-ray vision required to know that so I'm going with legs.

You can't tell from this photo but my watch is orange which makes me absurdly happy. You know what else makes me absurdly happy? The fact that I might actually not have to work this weekend. I don't want to get your (and my) hopes up, but I'm thinking I can take at least two of the next three days off. Maybe even all three.
