Radiant Orchid Strikes Again

Without even meaning to, I struck office 'gold' by wearing the 2014 Pantone Color of the Year : Radiant Orchid.  The frock is actually more purpley in person vs. more neon against the natural light in pics. But I'm still obsessed with this second pair of oxfords I've come across.  They are half size larger than I need but I could not pass them up!  They work well in winter conditions, as I prep for a cocoa party supply-gathering trip.  And the lace details help break up all the bold and black going on.

It's Black, it's White

I had a troublesome weekend to say the very least, and went with my go-to for official work meetings: It's black, it's white.  I found an even more classic pair of gloves that fold over into mittens an old good friend gave me. Today I even went a bit old school and prepped an easel with giant Post-It sheets for note-taking and brainstorming.  We even got a teeny bit of snow over the weekend!
