I’ve been wearing these Merrell shoes a lot lately. They’re the perfect work shoes, so comfortable and low-profile. I got them on sale at REI, and I always look on the sale rack for Merrells when I go there. I wish they weren’t so expensive. These are 100 bucks! I can’t pay that for slip ons!

This is the second outfit post in a row where I wore this dress. I really want it to be Spring. I mean, it is Spring, but it seems like I’m learning that Spring near the ocean means lots and lots of clouds, which is not what I think of as Spring. So I wear this dress and hope for flowers.

The shirt I wore with this skirt was a bad choice. I looked like a bed sheet. However, the sweater was amazing. It’s my new favorite sweater.

Those antibiotics are really working, but I’m still a few apples short of a fritter-not crazy, just lazy. So I wanted to wear something that was work appropriate (my office is very casual, as you probably already know) as well as being comfortable. So, I added the sometimes controversial (see here) under-tit belt to a soft old favorite t shirt over my touch-of-fancy eyelet lace skirt. Then, while I was at work my order from Sock Dreams arrived (I have all my online orders delivered to work) so I put on these Extraordinary Thigh Highs and completely rocked the rest of my day.

So I’ve basically been wearing variations of this outfit since Friday, and it’s Sunday now. Don’t worry, except for Saturday, I was only outside (and therefore in clothes) for a couple of hours. So I guess I could classify this as my post-thanksgiving weekend outfit. I just couldn’t muster the energy to put together anything else.
Today Ben and I went to Pasadena to take my Grandma to lunch, and also to do some Christmas shopping. I know I was supposed to be buying things for other people, and I did (I swear) but I also had to get this adorable hat for myself because it was on sale and it was so cute and calling my name.

If I don’t look as friendly as usual here it’s because it is the late end to a long and mostly stressful day. Today I worked on some design work, which is my absolute favorite thing right now. But I felt so buried by the avalanche of other things I had to get done that I let work I didn’t like go out just because I knew I didn’t have the time to do it right. And things that should have been done today are sitting in my hard drive unfinished because I didn’t have the heart to send it off. Nothing’s overdue, but my slowness is bothering me.

And speaking of The Gap, I know it’s been said everywhere on the Internet, but I hate their new logo! Their rep claims that this is a sign of a new beginning for them. Does that mean that they’re finally going to start carrying size 18 in the store? I figure if they let that uggo of a logo hang around, why not a fat fatty like myself?
