Thanks to everyone who helped me out by taking the survey I posted yesterday. I’ve put a lot of work and thought into this blog over its relatively short life, so it’s nice to find out whether what I’m doing is resonating with people. And of course thanks for the support and encouragement you’ve been giving me all along: all the comments, tweets, likes, follows, or just plain old reading. You sure know how to make a girl feel special.

I’m keeping the survey open indefinitely so if you didn’t get a chance yet, please take a minute (literally one minute) to give me your feedback.

This was my outfit from Monday, the first day of class in the new semester. I decided to open with a bang: an orange sequin sweater and matching orange lip.

I know I said I don’t wear sweats in public, but this is pretty darn close. Sometimes, though, a sweatshirt and leggings can be OK outside the house if (1) you’re doing something super casual, (2) there is no velour anywhere on your body, (3) there are no words or symbols across your butt, (4) you cover your bits and pieces, (5) you play with fun colors or otherwise add visual interest, and (6) you wear something other than sneakers or flip-flops on your feet.

As you can see, it’s a complex rule, but I am clearly following it. If the fashion police issue a citation, I will be prepared with my defense. For the record, I know this is not exactly my usual pulled together look, but I wanted to be true to my blog’s raison d’etre and show you what I really wear. This was another exam-taking outfit so comfort was the name of the game. I’ll be back to real outfits soon, I swear! (But if you want to see how I styled this same top with real pants, see here and here.)

P.S. Howdya like that little dance move at the end? Why, thank you. I’m classically trained. No…really.
