i've got a serious crush on bright colors.  the only problem is that i always feel ridiculous in them and well-intentioned orange striped shirts end up as closet shut-ins.  lately though, i've fallen for bright nails and have ended up like this:

that's right, i'm ecstatic over my ten little red friends.  i almost mistook one for an m&m this morning.

i'm guessing that this thirty thingy doesn't get too hard until you've already worn everything twice.  anyway, comfy day at work...no external meetings to look presentable for.  most people in my office wear jeans almost every day, but i'm not into that sort of thing.  anyway, i'm just a wee bit obsessed with dolman sleeve tops.  i bought one back in may, but it's more of a sweater.  this one is super soft jersey and is very useful for camouflaging amongst tan doors.  

p.s. first pics with bruce's new lens!  (bruce is my camera and the lens is a tamron 18-200mm)

it was a classic day-back-at-work-after-a-patriotic-holiday vibe in the office today.  there was a serious lack of sparklers and flippy floppies.  

and alas, my photographer and my new lens won't be here until thursday.  i was wrangling my half-broken lens and remote today when i noticed an across the parking lot neighbor staring me down (well, technically across).  i look downright frightened for the click that followed.  

anyway, my thirty is still undecided since the jury is still out on some newly-acquired pieces from LA; mostly how things fare during their inaugural run through the washer.
