I really thought I was smiling (convincingly) in these photos. Alas, my disdain for icy cold rain reads pretty clearly on my face. But with how hideously frigid it’s been the past week, I wish I could go back to cold rain. Sounds splendid.

On the bright side, I discovered this sweater looks a little more flattering with a vest (see it sans layers here).

Anywho, I hope you’re all staying warm and cozy while waiting in long lines at the Post Office. Happy almost Christmas!

I’m struggling with finding a happy medium in my work outfits. Some days I feel like I look more casual than everyone else, and other days I look like I’m going to meet the Queen. This was a Queen day. I don’t know if I should try to focus on finding that “just right” level of business casual, or if I should just hope that my back and forth outfits average out to a consistently properly dressed person.

As much as I loathe the idea of becoming a boring cliche lawyer, I’m thinking I just need to add a few more neutral office basics to my wardrobe. But fear not – I’ll mix them in with my fun stuff. And no one will stop me from curling my hair and wearing red lipstick. Because you never know when the Queen will stop by. I’m sure she comes to Indianapolis all the time on business.
