Brick Wall

 

Take One, Pass It On Item:  polka dot cardigan from last Monday

**In a less blatant form of copycatting, this outfit is inspired by Kate, again.  I'm still not convinced that a tucked in shirt is the right look for me, but I'm trying to give it a fair shake.

I'm also linking up with Bri for Third Thursday Threads!  The theme this month is polka dots, so it sort of worked out perfectly that I was passing along this cardigan.   

In other news... Look!  A brick wall as a background!  I sort of feel like a legit fashion blogger now.  Lunch dates with quick photo sessions may be the answer to my outfit photo problems.  I have been trying to take pictures in the morning, but I usually have wet hair and sleepy eyes.  And, let's be honest - I get to work late enough without adding 10 minutes for self-timer pictures.  After work, it's dark outside and my outfit is wrinkled from sitting all day.  At lunch, my clothes are only wrinkled by a half-day's worth of sitting, my hair is dry, and my eyes aren't sleepy (which would be relevant if I wasn't wearing sunglasses).  Plus lunch dates are awesome!

Valentine's Outfit

You might think I wore this on Valentine's Day, but you would be wrong.  This is what I actually wore.  I was so busy last week finishing up the ABC challenge, that I didn't get around to posting it. 

I think I might have worn this exact outfit for Valentine's day last year.  Since I wasn't blogging at that time, there's no evidence.  If I try to pull the same shenanigans next year, I might get in trouble!

Here's a background you haven't seen before:  

This is my new office!  I am excited to be free from the wood paneling in my old office.  I also have 2 big windows now, which I'm probably gazing out in the picture above. The only downside that I can think of is that my new windows don't open.  I will definitely miss the fresh air on nice days.
