i feel like i should preface this post by saying, "hey!  i'm back!"  i know blogs tend to quiet down during the holidays but i didn't announce my absence last week so it felt extra quiet around here.  anyway, i'm back from my holiday travels and this is what came together for a monday at the office.  even though i had plenty of time in the car to dream up outfits for this week (think 1,100 miles worth of traveling), i still played it easy with this printed skirt i thrifted before i left and a white button-down.  i haven't worn any of my tall boots yet this winter, so today seemed like a good day to pull them out as it was a mere -9* this morning.  plus, my agenda allowed for something a bit more casual -- just a farewell breakfast with some of my coworkers and the rest of the day in the office deleting files from my computer and email in preparation for winding down my current position by the end of the week.  it feels a bit bittersweet, so i really thank those of you who have been supporting my job search.  it is so powerful and humbling knowing others are sending positive energy my way because i know that can have so much of an impact.  hopefully i will have good news to share soon!
