grocery shopping so i can recreate the amazing pasta salad i made last weekend.  and we got asked for directions multiple times, so these leggings must make me look knowledgeable.  or people just get really lost.

meetings and such at work.

but maybe wearing a sweatshirt and rainboots to work and having them pass as business casual is my new thing.

this is a silhouette that every magazine advises me against, but it used to be a standby when i refused to tuck in my shirts.  now that i understand defined waists and such, i wanted to revisit ole slouchy with two long layers on top.  i'm on the fence about how it looks photographed, but it felt very "me" in real life.  maybe it's all the light neutrals.  

dotty, neon, and gray

[wearing]
dress: old navy (exactly)

creative: these two greenish hues are right on the edge of clashing.  
young: neon.  yup.
professional: a shirtdress and tall boots sounds like it would fairly grownup.  ignore the brightness for a sec, ok?
