Happy Election Day! I worked all day, then went to the polls with my husband when we got home. There was a long wait, but not horrible, so I think we made the right decision.
I had a feeling there would be very few people in the office today, and I was right. So I was justified in wearing cords (a couple other people there were in jeans!).
Last week one of my coworkers wore probably this same pair of cords, which reminded me that I should wear mine. Since it's been so chilly lately, it was the perfect excuse to wear soft, warm pants and a cozy sweater. (I don't completely understand why, but this sweater is so much softer and warmer than my other cardigans.)
Confession: I wore this exact same outfit yesterday, for the last day of my work meetings.
But, we finished up early and I got changed, and I didn't see any of the same people today, so I figured I could get one more day out of this. Especially since I didn't get a picture yesterday morning and I liked the outfit.
I've found myself sticking more to the blacks and grays lately. So I decided to try to wear browns and tans one day a week. (Did you notice it last week, too?) Yes, I'm really branching out here!
This is not the outfit that I planned to wear today. But it was still so bitterly cold out, I could not imagine wearing anything less than a sweater. So it ended up being a sort of combination of two recent outfits.
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.
I did end up going to the Limited on Saturday and taking advantage of their 40% off sale by getting two pairs of pants. These black ones looked awesome in the dressing room, but when I got dressed this morning... I just wasn't feeling it, and ended up changing. I will try again soon, maybe with some different underwear..?
I was browsing through this site last night, looking for things I hadn't worn in a while, or wore too much, or maybe shouldn't wear again, and I saw this sweater. Oh yeah, it is soft and very warm! I don't think I've ever worn it buttoned up like this before. And I probably won't again, because it turns out sort of blobby.
Oh I thought last week was cold? Today's freezing temps and biting winds put that weather to shame. Didn't have to go anyplace at work today, just had a bunch of teleconferences and needed to finish up packing for my move.
I need more pants like these - they are soft, stretchy, and generally flattering. In the side view you can see they have a little stitching detail down the outside of each leg. I will have to be on the lookout...

I was running so late for work this morning, I figured taking a picture was not a priority. So I got a shot when I got home, hence my worn-out look.
