Uniform

I've come to the conclusion that the preppy button down and khaki pants has become my uniform for work when I'm not sure what else to wear, or if I just want to be completely comfortable all day. 

Kira wanted me to show you her mini ice cream cone.  She's wearing her performance leotard from gymnastics and a penguin hat.  Stylin'.

Don't Rain on My Parade

 

The skies look like this....

 

I have a flute choir concert this evening, in a gazebo, in a park, outside.  The skies do not bode well for the concert.

Day Off

Tomorrow is my third day off of the year.  Yes, it's May 23 and I'm only on my third day off.  To make matters more pitiful, one of my days off I had the flu and I worked through part of it.  Sometimes you hit a bad patch at work and that's what I'm in.  At least I like my job.

Saturday

I bought this jacket off eBay for a steal and it's from J Crew.  I have a wool blazer from J Crew in this exact same color and it's amazing just how versatile it is, so I wanted a jacket in the same color, but in cotton twill.  Lo and behold, eBay came through for me!  I decided to go completely preppy today and paired this with my green polka dot shirt from Boden.  Boden has such cute, colorful clothes!

Fave Blazer

I have to get as many wears in of my cobalt blue blazer before Spring actually sprungs.  I love this thing...it matches everything!

Sea Party

Kira named my blog tonight because she said my sweater looked like the sea and the bubbles create a party atmosphere. 

I actually swiped this outfit idea from Boden USA's website.  I bought the shirt there and had the rest of the components in my closet to create this outfit.  It's a bit matchy with the shoes, but I received a lot of compliments on it today!

Colorblocked?

 I was walking down the hall today and one of my co-workers gave me a shout out saying "Colorblocked!"  Well, I didn't really think of my outfit as being colorblocked.  Colorful, yes.  Blocked, not so sure.

We're having a food day tomorrow at work sponsored by our Fun Committee.  It's a "junk food" carry in, which is totally wrong, but ssooooo verrrry much fun!  Kira and I made Oreo fudge tonight to bring in.  Someone brought in 2 boxes of Twinkies, 2 boxes of Ho Hos and 2 jars of salsa already for tomorrow.  I'm not sure how the salsa fits in, but it should be interesting to find out!  It was fun to walk around today because clusters of people were discussing what they were making or bringing in.  Someone's bringing in a buffalo dip and I heard rumors that pork rinds were coming.  If someone brings in a veggie tray, we're holding them down and making them eat a Twinkie!  We may have to pass around caffeinated pop tomorrow afternoon after we all crash after the sugar rush!
