I’ll be honest. If I only have to leave the house to do one thing, I don’t make much effort. Please don’t tell Stacy and Clinton. But on Tuesday I actually had several errands to run, so it seemed that an outfit was justified. I went to pee in a cup (not just for fun – so I can go back to work at my old job), and I went to the dry cleaners, the bank, the grocery store, and the library.

This sweater is perfect for coolish spring days because it covers my arms, but it’s loosely knit almost like mesh. Or something. There’s probably a technical textile name for it but I don’t know what it is. Anywho, the colors are what I would call oatmeal and pale peach. The sweater makes me embrace my inner ballerina (hence the bun). I feel very dainty and demure, and then…BAM! Leopard print shoes. Didn’t see that coming, did you?

I wore this to go volunteer as a mentor-in-training at Indiana Youth Group. It’s a non-profit organization for LGBT youth. Basically I get to feel like I’m giving back to the community just by watching Mamma Mia and playing Apples to Apples with a bunch of teenagers (which, let’s be honest, is not much of a change from my normal life except for the teenager part).

On a side note, this bag was my gift to myself for finishing my first year of law school. I’m kind of obsessed with it. And with polka dots in general.

And on a side-side note, I downloaded a new photo-editing app and I’m working on improving the quality of my photos. If you have any thoughts, don’t be shy about commenting. I would appreciate the feedback 🙂
