Remember how I was just complaining about “paid-for” casual Fridays? A mere 3 days after wrestling with my complicated feelings on the topic, we had a good old-fashioned day-before-a-holiday jeans day. So this is how I decided to take advantage of the chance to wear denim to the office on Thanksgiving Eve. I switched it up a little with a chambray shirt and colored jeans this time. And I threw in a matching hat because why not. Sadly, the hat had to come off once I was at my desk. I’m not quite that daring, even on a casual day. I’m not too upset about it though. If my biggest problem is that I can only wear my cute hat while walking between my functioning car and my job at a fancy law firm, my life isn’t too shabby. Not to get too sentimental, but I’m feeling especially thankful this holiday season. Just to share the love, I might even donate to charity when I’m not wearing jeans to work.

I read a NY Times op ed the other day called “Brunch is for Jerks.” Well if brunch is wrong, I don’t want to be right. I think the point of the article was that the brunch “scene” in NYC is just a bunch of rich, white kids who get drunk on Saturday night, then clog up all the good restaurants for hours on Sunday. I think brunch is a little less jerky here in the Midwest. We just like to sleep in and then have someone make us eggs and a maybe a mimosa, please and thank you.

This past Sunday, I put in some effort to make my casual brunch outfit a little more presentable than the pajama-wearing crowd. (Again, I’m not a brunch jerk.) And I only spent 5 minutes Instagramming my food before I ate it. (I’m only human, OK?)
