Candy and Sequins

 

Happy Valentine's Day!  I wish now I had invested in some extravagant sequined red something or other, but I just don't have much non-casual wear in red.  And red's my second favorite color!  So instead today I have a little bit of sequins to go with bits of candy.  I threw in a pic of my hearty breakfast just because it was full of awesome.  I don't know a lot of people that get excited about potatoes for breakfast, but I always prefer savory and it will be the highlight before dishing into the countless sweets the day brings.  Plus, I received a gift from a little friend in the form of a braided rubberband bracelet, which I hear is all the rage.  My top is dressier than normal, but my black/white/gray skirt and gray tights, and gray cardigan were shouting for something less bland (which is where red would have been handy). I'm wearing a simple diamond charm heart key (from my grandmother) to show some more love.

Same Green, Different Sweater

I awoke in the too-early a.m. hours with a wicked charlie horse and realized I should really look into getting insoles for my beloved oxfords. They're stylish, but have just about nothing in the form of cushion and since I'm into all flat shoes, they need to have some support.  I woke up too early, and then slept in late!  Today I grabbed my new favorite skirt- the houndstooth fuchsia and maroon winter one and the same green but different cableknit sweater.  Old and new?  I'm also sporting my big beaded necklace I scored from a thrift store for only a buck #iwin. I've noticed that my subscription box items and booklets and coupons are slowly creeping into my desk scenery.  I'd love to have a perfect workspace that is white and light but extremely tidy, but all that doesn't do much for getting my work done. I guess sometimes a little chaos goes a long way at a desk job.
