You can't even tell in this picture that I was about to be sick all day at work and come home early to crash in bed...
This is probably the last time you'll ever see this sweater. I got it in high school (from Delia*s, remember them?!), and it's just a little short on me now.
I decided on Wednesday that I would take today off work - no reason other than that I have some vacation time I have to use up, and the next couple months are going to be busy at work. I ended up going out to lunch and then just doing some chores I'd been putting off at home.
Left to its own devices, my hair is wavy, but I have to "do" it in order to be presentable. It's a lot more effort than just wearing it straight!
I discovered a hole in the sleeve of this sweater today. Not like a tear just... a gap in the cable knit pattern? Boo.
I got this sweater around Christmas time but hadn't worn it yet because I don't really like turtlenecks* or things up around my neck. However, this neck unbuttons, so it's only like a turtleneck on one side. Then in the afternoon I saw my reflection in the bathroom mirror and thought maybe this looked too much like a Star Trek uniform. What do you think?
Monday was a holiday, Tuesday I stayed home due to the snow (our office opened late anyway), and Wednesday was my normal day to work from home, so today was my first day in the office this week! Good thing I wore this warm sweater, there was a breeze by my desk!
For any day this week that I didn't post a picture, I was wearing some variation of this outfit. The main reason is that this sweater is super warm, so by wearing it with a long-sleeved shirt and gloves, I can run from the car to wherever I'm going without having to mess with a coat.
I got a haircut yesterday! I will post better comparison pictures later, but the fun thing now is that when I curl "just the ends," I end up with a nice wavy head of hair!
I'd wanted a tan cardigan for a while (yes, I have that cable-knit one, but I wanted a plain one), and I found this one last month on crazy sale at the Limited. Love it!
In other news, I returned those new pants to the Limited today. I hate returning stuff - even if it's done totally honestly, I feel like the store is going to think I'm trying to pull one over on them.
My first full day in the office in a week! How better to celebrate than with black and gray? (I am wearing a hot pink tank top under that sweater, you just can't see it.)
I was not feeling good this morning, but I'd worked from home due to snow on Friday and am taking the day off tomorrow, so I trudged off to work this morning anyway. That was a mistake. After sitting at my desk for two hours feeling like I might pass out, I headed back home and spent the rest of the day working in bed.
For some reason, last night, I had this thought that I should wear a hot pink sweater today. Of course, I do not own a hot pink sweater, so this was the best I could do :o)
I think I wore this sweater sometime last week while I was on vacation. I don't remember. Luckily, sweaters don't have to be washed every time, right? Especially when you're wearing a tank or something underneath.
Back to work - and now I have to get used to writing "2011" on things!
