If you read my blog every day, you know I’m supposed to be in New York City right now for a fabulously nerdy fashion law conference. If you read literally any other news source, you know New York got hit with a beast of a snow storm yesterday. My Thursday morning flight got cancelled on Wednesday night, but then I got rebooked for Thursday afternoon. Not so bad. Had to cancel plans with friends, but I got some extra sleep, more time to pack, and did some work from home.

Around 1pm Thursday, an hour and half before I planned to leave for the airport, my rebooked flight got cancelled. (Cue dramatic fall to my knees while screaming “NOOOOO!”) I called the airline and searched all the websites I could think of, and the only option left would’ve involved getting to the airport at 4am and missing the first session of the conference. I was definitely excited for the trip, but it got to the point where the extra stress and extra effort was outweighing the few remaining benefits.

Sigh. So I cancelled my hotel, return flight, and conference registration, and then went out for a drink and Greek food. This outfit was going to be a great travel slash walking through snowy NYC ensemble, but it turned out to be a decent work from home slash eating consolation falafel ensemble instead.

You’ve seen enough of my face lately, right? How about a peek at the view from my face? Today I have a few top-down outfit selfies to share, plus a couple things that have found their way to my closet recently.

I asked Santa for a new wallet and this is what she (yes, she) picked out! I was having a serious George Costanza situation, and a new wallet was the only way I was going to clean the old one out. Goodbye, Macy’s coupon from 2014!

I call this my “fancy lawyer dress.” I wear it because I am both fancy and a lawyer. I rest my case.

FLOWER TIME! (I think this to myself every time I wear this watch because I’m a total nerd.)

I wore this to work just earlier this week. I got these boots because I needed more non-suede options to wear in wet weather. Seriously, how did I end up with so much suede winter footwear? Apparently when I’m shopping I imagine I live in L.A. and not Indy.

Remember when I said I went to Target with my friends who hadn’t been in forever? This is what I went home with. Yay for pretty spring things in the stores!

I really hope my legs don’t look this lumpy to other people. Why did I decide to do this “View From the Top” themed post?? I’m out.
