It’s day 3 of the Take One, Pass it On remix challenge, and I kind of boxed myself into a corner with day 2’s outfit. I had already remixed the shirt, and wearing my rain boots again would have been a little silly under a sunny sky. So that left me with the black shirtdress to wear for a brunch date on Saturday.

But being the savvy remixer I am, I decided to disguise the dress as a shirt by putting my new midi skirt over it. I’m pretty proud of myself for trying this skirt, you guys. I’ve avoided this length because I was afraid it would accentuate my lack of verticalness. But I think this one that hits just a couple inches below the knee works for me, especially with a little bit of a heel. Plus it has these awesomely huge pockets! What will I keep in the pockets? Probably nothing. But I like knowing they’re there in case I have two footlong sandwiches I don’t feel like carrying.

I am really impressed by people who work from home. Since I only have class three days a week this semester, I’ve been studying and reading at home much more than last year. I am really terrible at staying focused when I’m at home sometimes. I read about two paragraphs, then I check Bloglovin’. Five more paragraphs, check Facebook. Take a few notes, and oh! – I think I need to pet my cat. Yes, she definitely wants me to pet her. I have a point, so let me make it:

On one of my usual work-from-home days, I decided to get my butt dressed and head to the library to get some work done. Not a special occasion, obviously. No special outfit needed. But when I stood in front of my closet, one thing led to another, and suddenly I looked like I was ready to go flamenco dancing. Or sangria drinking. Whatever.

Then I thought maybe I should change into something lower maintenance? But then I would have to start all over and go out of my way to look like I didn’t try too hard. So I would be trying extra hard to look like I wasn’t trying hard, instead of not trying and accidentally looking like I tried. Are you confused? So was I. So I left the house in this. The end.
