A Blue Day

I am very happy the week is coming to a close.  I'm having a bit of blue day today, hence my very depressing choice in color for today's outfit.  I'm not sure what the cause for my melancholy is.  Perhaps its the shorter days, or the colder weather.  Whatever the case, I am hoping it is short lived.  This weekend is looking very promising.  Saturday will involve some karoke and Sunday will be spent catching up with an old friend.  Hopefully, that will cure what ails me.  So here is my outfit: top is Express, pants are New York & Co., shoes are from Target.

It's Only Tuesday :( - Day 43

I think the fall color is at it's peak this week.  All the trees seem to be some hue of orange or yellow on the way to work.  I was a good wife today and made 3 seperate cooked items (rice, red lentil soup, and green beans).  All turned out edible AND the hubs said they tasted good.  Success like this makes me almost want to try cooking something a little more gourmet (the key word here is almost).  There is only two more weeks of CSA left, which makes me kinda blue.  Today's post will be another short one.  I have work that I need to get from the office, yet again.  Just 2 more weeks and then I'll get a break from this craziness.  Anyway, here is my outfit for today:  the skirt is thrifted (brand is Axcess), the top is a.n.a, the belt is Ralph Lauren (thrifted), and the shoes are Hype.  As I list out these brands, I have to say some of the shoe brands have very strange names.

A Little Bit of Yellow to Brighten the Day - Day 23

Alas, another dreary day.  On a bright note, the temperatures do appear to be climbing a bit.  My work computer has a virus on it that refuses to be erased.  I always forget how dependent we are on the internet and technology on day to day activities, until I don't have it available.  Needless to say I'm not looking forward much to weekend since I am back logged and will have to take work home with me.  Oh, well, it could be worse.  So all this dreary weather of late has inspired me to wear yellow today.  Now, I will be honest, yellow is not one of my favorite colors.  My kitchen was orginally painted yellow, and lets just say I was not a fan.  However, after a string of gloomy days, wearing something bright seems to lift the mood.  The following is what I wore today: The top is from India, the skirt is from Burlington Coat Factory (it is actually made in the USA!  I bought two, the other one is black), the shoes are Coach (from DSW), the belt is thrifted, and I don't remember where I bought the tights.

Another Day at the Office - Day 18

Today was a rainy and all around gloomy day.  Since the weather forecast had predicted as much, it inspired my outfit.  Bright green is such a cheery color I decided to go with that.  I didn't take my picture this morning, as is my usual routine, since I was running late.  Needless to say being tired in the afternoon is not much better than being bleary eyed in the morning (as far as appearance in photographs go).  Regardless, as this project progresses, I'm sure I'll have at least one decent picture among the bunch.  Without much futher ado here is my outfit for the day.  The shirt and pants are from New York & Company.  The vest is Carole Little and the shoes are thrifted.
