While at first glance this may appear to be just another mediocre photo of a boring outfit. However, if you look closely there are some remarkable details such as: I am wearing earrings, I got a pedicure (my toes have been trashed by running but I managed to grow back enough of them to get them painted), I shaved my legs (mostly, don't look too closely), and I was able to zip up this skirt for the first time in quite a bit (I know it looks too tight but it actually isn't).

For an impulse purchase, I have gotten a lot of wear out of this shirt. Although it remains a bit big in the chest area - I cannot bring myself to get rid of it. Examples of other ways I have worn this shirt.

I am leaving work early today to go to a doctor's appointment, after which I plan to eat a large lunch (I have to fast before the appointment so I am, predictably, starving) and go for a run (which I skipped this morning due to the aforementioned hunger). After that I will leave it to your imaginations as to whether I come back to work or sit on the sofa and watch NCIS re-runs.
All of this explains today's outfit which I selected because it is comfortable, easy to get in and out of, and, only temporary.

I have wanted red jeans for quite some time and was thrilled when I found these at the thrift store this week. However, I think they are better suited for weekends than workdays when I try to pretend I am a competent professional. Would you take legal advice from someone in red jeans? I'm not sure I would.
Potential work inappropriateness aside, these jeans are REALLY comfortable which will come in handy if I can convince my bff to let me buy her gelato and crepes for her birthday today.

Today was a hard day to dress for. It is very hot outside, very cold inside, and I have a meeting with very conservative people all afternoon. Not entirely sure if this fits the bill (I have a black matte jersey "blazer" to put on for the meeting) but I think it is okay. I know my legs look so pale and chubby in this picture but this was another one of those - one shot, five minutes to post mornings. I guess the heat must be getting to people because my workload has tripled this week! Off to do some work....

I got this Betsy Johnson skirt at Goodwill (natch) a few months ago, but have been puzzled as to how to style it. Then I found this great blazer in my closet and it all came together, sort of. Honestly I'm not in love with the pink tank and wish I had something darker. But, as mr. deathstar would say, you get dressed with the closet you have, not the closet you want.

A belated happy towel day to everyone. Also a belated thanks to everyone who commented yesterday - I should threaten to cut up designer dresses more often :) Seriously I do appreciate the input and comments.
This morning was one of those mornings where I just did not know what to wear. Nothing felt right so I went with the classic blouse and pencil skirt combo. Work appropriate and comfortable although a tad boring.
