So…about this shirt. Some people (you know who you are) have teased me about these funky shoulders. Here’s what happened: The shirt used to be your run-of-the-mill faux wrap top. I happened to wear it one day when I transitioned into my alter ego, Super Sarah. Super Sarah can fly, but she has to flap like a bird, which involves a lot of shoulder muscles. Those huge, impressive muscles stretched out the shoulders of this shirt, and it didn’t bounce back. True story.* Well, I don’t want to be wasteful, so I still wear the shirt and just call it a fashion statement.

*This is so not a true story. What really happened it I bought this weird shirt on purpose because I’m just crazy like that. But I like it (the shirt and being crazy).

I work one of those offices where the dress code is business casual, but my colleagues tend to focus more on the “casual” part than the “business” part. But that works for me, because it means I can wear almost anything I want. And we all know how I like variety in my wardrobe (I used to work at a pharmacy where I had to wear navy scrubs everyday – my closet was so depressed it kept asking me to snag some uppers from the office).

So today I took a cue from my coworkers and dressed down a bit. I don’t think I’ve ever worn this cardigan with anything besides a tank underneath. I’m kinda digging the extra dose of stripes sticking out on the sleeves.
