I felt kind of silly standing in the freezing cold, all bundled up, with this ocean scene behind me. Whales, you are lucky your ocean isn’t in Indiana, because you wouldn’t be swimming so freely. I recommend sticking to the West Coast.

I didn’t really plan on wearing a sweater, hat, and gloves with bling on them, but it happened and I’m not too mad about it. They let us have a jeans day on Friday, mainly because the heat in our giant, 100-year-old building has been riding the struggle bus in these extreme temperatures. So we needed a little more wiggle room in the dress code for everyone to be even close to comfortable. I didn’t wear my hat all day in the office, but I did wear my gloves inside for several hours. I tried putting my hands under my legs and operating my computer by telekinesis, but I’m not Carrie…Gloves on a keyboard were awkward, but still more effective.

The rest of me stayed pretty cozy in this layered flannel and striped top, both of which have been staples for fall and winter. Scroll down below to see how else I’ve worn them!

Remember that holiday we had recently? Not the one with the slow-moving sparkly ball and the champagne. The one the week before with the old fat man and the eggnog. What was it called again? CHRISTMAS! Yeah, that’s it. Well after we unwrapped presents and watched the cat play with tissue paper, I put on this outfit and we went to eat at Denny’s (we didn’t plan ahead) and to see Into the Woods. It’s hard to say which part of the day was better. I mean, the movie had Meryl Streep. BUT Denny’s had a bloody-nosed, morbidly obese man who brought his own (non-mobile) telephone and set it up on his table. Both award-winning performances, let me tell you.
