Happy Monday, friends. I hope your weekend was glorious and filled with pumpkin spice everything. I’m a little backed up on outfits (I don’t know how that happened because I feel like I spend a LOT of time at home in mismatching PJs), so today I’m sharing a look from last week’s short stint as a temp. The individual pieces are pretty basic office wear staples, but I kind of like the mix of textures and unexpected proportions I have going on here. It’s times like this that I’m especially happy to have this blog because I’m pretty sure less than 5 people saw me wear this, and I’m even more sure that 0 of them cared that I wore this. So now would be a good time to shower me with compliments and make me feel appreciated. It will make me very happy to read them while I’m sitting here in more mismatching PJs.

These over-the-knee boots were probably one of my favorite purchases of last fall/winter. Last weekend I knew I wanted to wear this sweatshirt (it was my last unworn item from my latest Le Tote shipment) and my new black hat for a trip to the zoo. Then I realized my trusty OTK boots would be the perfect way to complete the look.

The only problem? My boots – and the rest of my cold-weather clothes – were in “the warehouse.”

The warehouse is what we call the storage area in our apartment. I could try to paint a picture for you, but nothing can really prepare you for what you’ll find in the warehouse. Laundry detergent. Tool boxes. Wrapping paper. Musical instruments. Folding chairs. A wooden coat rack with cats on it (what?). These are all actual things I had to wade through to get to the plastic tubs that hold my out-of-season clothes. Not surprisingly, the boots were at the bottom of the third tub, but I found them!

In sum: my house might be messy, but at least I look awesome.
