I’ve been pretty busy the past few days working on something I’ll hopefully finish and show you this week. But here’s what I’m sporting today. The best part of this look? I noticed a weird splotch on my sweater this morning, and my vest thing covers it up. Dress to your advantages, people. Happy Tuesday.

Because it’s a wet miserable day in the middle of winter and I’m dreaming of vacation, here’s what I might throw on for a resort breakfast on my way out to the the beach. Sigh. At least it’s Friday, hope you have a good one! (Source: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=42861961)
more chambray
This post is titled More Chambray, but it could just as easily have been Can You Be Professional In A Mustache Necklace—the answer, I think, is yes—or Sorry I’m Not Sorry My Belt Is Brown And My Skirt Is Black.

Snow day, from yesterday. I don’t know if you heard, but it snowed.
I really liked this when I put it on this morning, but now I’m not so sure. Either way, it’s Friday and soon I’ll be at happy hour. Cheers!
