I’m trying to think of something to say about this outfit but I can only come up with a random string of excited words: Yellow! Pretty shoes! Bows! Sparkly things! Basically, I liked this outfit so much that I forgot to how sentences make.

I’m also going to blame my brain fog on the large amount of unhealthy but delicious food I ate today. A Giordano’s Pizza opened this week down the road from me, so I just had some serious deep dish. Also, earlier today I was looking for something in my purse and I found the second half of a s’mores brownie I bought 5 days ago. I’m not ashamed to tell you that I took a bite just to see if it was still good. I’m also not ashamed to tell you that once I confirmed it was still good, I ate the rest of it.

Now that I think of it, I ate the first half of that brownie while wearing this outfit. There you go…I made a complete thought about this outfit. My work here is done.

I’m not sure when I became such a fan of black, white, and gray, but apparently it happened. The brights-lover in me has been repressed, but don’t worry. I’m confident she’ll be back one of these days. For now, I feel like these neutral colors let me get away with wearing some more interesting pieces to work without getting skeptical glances from the suit-wearers on the elevator. Actually, I don’t know…I might still get skeptical glances. I have trouble noticing others’ reactions when I’m busy looking awesome.

Speaking of awesome, be sure to check out last week’s post on How to Wear Midi Skirts if you want some guidance on how to style a skirt this length. Another post you might have missed: this one, in which I thoroughly embarrass myself for your entertainment. Enjoy. I would really appreciate it if you pin a photo from the first post (it really helps my traffic!), but NOT the second one. K thanks.
