I should have known that on the Friday before a holiday weekend, nobody would show up to attend any meetings in person.

I've only ever worn this top once before, when we went out to dinner with another couple last summer. It was so humid out, but we'd been looking forward to sitting on the restaurant's deck, so we sat outside. That ended up being probably the sweatiest meal I ever ate.

Oh look, I wore those new shoes again! I was planning to wear a necklace, but nothing was falling in the right place compared to the neckline of this shirt, so I ended up wearing earrings. I try to avoid wearing them when I know I'm going to be on the phone all day, but, oh well...

Don't mind that weird chunk of hair sticking out - this was still the best picture I got today.

Took a few tries to get a good picture this morning - I have a bad cold (didn't even go to the office yesterday) and in every shot I looked like I was about to die :o( (Good news: I'm feeling better already, I think I'll beat this thing!)

Even though I bought them last year, today was the debut of these shoes. I ordered these and a few other shoes from Payless, but it was a little too cold for cut-outs by the time I got them. I love them, though! Expect to see them lots this spring and summer!

I haven't worn this top in a while. I keep thinking of it, but then I choose something else. So here we go. Very busy day full of meetings today, but guess what - they were all teleconferences! (Well, one was in person, but it was just with my cube neighbor, I would have seen her anyway.)

I've been looking for a replacement for this watch. The clasp is starting to go... Not worth fixing, as it will probably cost more than the watch did!

This rainy Tuesday needed some brightening up. And I came home from work early to take the cats to the vet.

Got my hair to curl a little bit!

Every day this week, the idea for the next day's outfit has just come to me the previous day, and then I lay out my clothes the night before, which has saved a lot of time in the mornings. Maybe I can keep that momentum going, it'd be nice to not stand around in front of the closet in the mornings wondering what to wear that day.

I was so excited for the spring-like weather today, I had to wear pink! The funny thing is, my new cube neighbor wore a pink cardigan in almost the same shade - we've been sitting next to each other only a couple weeks and we're already dressing alike!

I did something today I have never done before: wore jeans to work on a non-jeans day. We occasionally are allowed to wear bluejeans on a Friday if we donate to whatever charity, but today was not one of those days. But hardly anyone was in the office, my jeans were dark, and I was going out to dinner with some girlfriends after work and didn't want to change. No problems!

I wore a black camisole under this top, which you can't see at all, but the top is just a little sheer, and even though it's not like you can see through it or like I'm falling out of it, I feel a little less exposed with the tank underneath.

I was planning to reveal the winning sweater today, but at the last minute decided to switch outfits (three times). I was working at a "help desk" table today at my office and the ruffled sweater outfit ended up looking less professional than I'd planned, the shirt I picked to wear with it looked weird, it was just bad. I'll try again next week.

Another busy day of facilitating training sessions at work! However, I was in a much less public role today, so I figured I could forgo the jacket and just wear this collared sweater. (Yes, it is all one piece, I'm not wearing a sweater over a shirt.)

Extremely busy day at work today - I am facilitating a couple courses at our huge on-site learning event. We were told to wear suits, and unfortunately I do not have a suit, but I do this this adorable jacket that looked perfect with these black pants and I was dressed perfectly appropriately.

I actually ended up chatting online with a coworker last night to help put together this outfit! I think it was a good collaborative effort - I think it looked professional but still a little fun and trendy (with the 3/4 sleeves and ruffled top).

02.11.11

I had a telepresence meeting at work today. Very neat! It's sort of like a life-sized videoconference - people in another room (another state, even) look like they're sitting right across the table from you. So I wanted to wear something that had at least a little interest on top, since I was "sitting across the table" from a room full of coworkers I don't see very often.

I discovered a hole in the sleeve of this sweater today. Not like a tear just... a gap in the cable knit pattern? Boo.

Also, no "cute shoes" comments today. Oh well...

I haven't taken many pictures over my holiday week off, but this one will do double-duty because I wore pretty much the same outfit on Christmas Eve.

I got this shirt (...and a teal one...) with the intention of wearing it with a different sweater, but then that sweater didn't work out and I had to return it, so... ta-da! I liked this outfit! Too bad I'm stuck off in an annex at work and nobody even gets to see me and my new shirt...

I went to a kind of informal, daytime wedding today, and I was stressing about what to wear. The bride and groom were older, and I was actually going with my grandmother and didn't really know anyone there, and it was a chilly October day. So I figured slacks would be okay, and I was going to try to find a new top or cardigan to wear with them, but then I remembered I had this one that I hadn't worn yet. I got lots of compliments on it!

Yes, the top is from Casual Corner Annex. How old does that make it? I remember I got it probably the summer before I started college, in 2000.

Not pictured: the sweater I was bundled in all day because my office is freezing cold!

We had visitors from out of town and all-day meetings today, followed by a group dinner, so I needed an outfit that would be comfortable and put-together. I decided to wear my magical brown pants that make my legs look long and slim.

This was my only day in the office this week, so I wanted to look decent - even though with the holiday weekend coming up, there were even fewer people in the office than there usually are on Fridays.

Also, I finally got around to posting my What's In My Purse video that I recorded (literally) two months ago. I wanted to get it off my plate because, per Natalie's request, I just recorded another purse-related video about my new purse organizer (coming soon!).
