fallback / there are days when i fall asleep on the couch watching hallmark movies at 9pm and groggily drag myself to bed when the hefty weight of my cat atop my lap wakes me up and i can barely keep my eyes open long enough to look straight ahead into my open closet to figure out to wear the next day.  this may or may not have happened last night.  in these instances, i fall back on a solid colored bottom (pants or skirt) and a patterned blouse or cardigan.  the print on the cardigan does all the work for you to help you looking like you put some effort into your appearance when really you're still thinking about that crazy dream you had right before you woke up {it was crazy!}.  i think printed dresses are great for this as well but the temps in the mornings here have still been pretty cool; dare i say that within the next week or two i may be able to wear tights?!

 

my friend jess is letting me guest blog at her blog j's style today where i talk a little more about this and answer a few other questions she had for me about my personal style, sewing, and what item in my closet always helps me feel more professional.  i hope you'll check out the post here & thanks to anyone who may be visiting me from her blog!

i had another day today as i did yesterday, so enter client uniform again.  i really enjoyed reading what a few of you shared with me in yesterday's post about how you dress for your different work days, i like knowing that there are a lot of us who aren't just throwing on an outfit to make a good blog post or highlight on "on trend" item but for what our day requires us to be doing.

this has felt like an awkwardly long week for me so far, with so much going on and so few resolutions.  i guess that's the nature of my job, though... we're always working on something and sometimes there's only a short period of stability until a major event happens that needs to be managed.  it keeps me on my toes, though.  have a great rest of the week!

edit:  at first i titled this post WEDNESDAY and in viewing my blog after publishing the post i realized... wait.  it can't be wednesday, this is the fourth time i've posted this week.  i guess i can retract my earlier statement and now exclaim, tomorrow is friday!  yay!
