This whole having a little den in a finished basement is pretty great. I was already down here with my feet up on the chaise, watching Mozart in the Jungle and editing photos, when tornado sirens started going off. Well, perfect. I’m already exactly where I’m supposed to be in this situation! I’ll just keep calm and carry on, as they say.

Anyway, here are some photos from what was obviously a much less stormy day! From last (casual) Friday, to be exact. These earrings are usually my go-to fancy occasion baubles, but I decided to mix it up this time and wear them with more casual pieces. And somehow, pumps and a turtleneck make me feel like I’m office appropriate even in distressed denim and an army vest. But the fact that the pumps look like a picnic blanket keeps them from looking out of place for casual Friday, you know?

In case you hadn’t figured this out yet, about 70% of my outfit planning is just rationalizing.

I promise this will not turn in to a political blog, but I can’t post this outfit without mentioning that this is what I was wearing when I met the future governor of Indiana. I mean, I don’t want to be too cocky and jinx it, but our current governor has made enough embarrassingly backwards decisions that I’m confident enough of my fellow Hoosiers are (forgive the cliché movie quote…) mad as hell and not going to take it anymore.

I attended a fundraiser for John Gregg last week and “reinvested” half of my state tax refund in his campaign. Honestly, I would support anyone running against Pence this fall, but now that I’ve met Gregg and heard him speak about his plans, I’m pretty pumped to spread the word about how awesome he is. So to my local readers: I encourage you to check out his website and consider donating!

But if you’re not politically inclined, that’s fine too. You can always just dress like America (which I did totally unintentionally, I swear).
