Boyish Uniform

Some days, I don't even know.  But I felt like navy and khaki and needed a little pop of neon yellow so this is what I got: a boyish uniform.  My button-up is a vintage Lacoste menswear pink shirt with tiny blue pinstripes.  Considering I only bought it for $6 at a consignment shop, I've worn it a hundred times minimum.  I have a hardy silver cuff that was thrifted (it was even rusty when I bought it originally) and some navy tights on to stay matchy-matchy.  No one's commented on my Whovian sticker just yet...but I'm sure it'll happen.  And a from my last +Birchbox I framed a "Go Get 'Em Tigress" quote for the year ahead as motivation every day right next to the popular Rifle Paper, Co. city calendar.  Now, if I could just get the rest of my desk looking so inspirational and tidy!

Coral in Pale Winter

I'm starting to get a little more comfortable with selfies now, but I play around a lot with angles- trying to find the best one.  I didn't even change the lighting on the last pic; I'm really that pale! And stressing here out loud that I'm over winter!  You'd think since I wear sleeves all year 'round (at the office) and own tons of black, I'd be most happy layered up, but the cold is just a mood killer for me.  I'm wearing a thick knit sleeveless dress with pockets (the best thing), a black cardigan, my all black tights and sub-zero temp surviving boots, a magnetic pearl necklace, a jeweled cuff, and a pretty sparrow ring with a little bling on it.  The ring is kind of my favorite, and sadly I don't even remember where I got it.  I cleaned off a cabinet and have my tea time essentials handy; my big panda mug and my little tea mug from a dear tea-lover, with a big bamboo box of teas.  So many teas!  These things help me survive Mondays, aside from lots-o-coffee.
