A breezy dress on a breezy day – if you don’t hold on to the hem, there’s a 50% chance it’ll look cute, and a 50% chance you’ll show everyone your underwear. More like 40/60 actually. Your best bet is to wear really cute earrings or maybe a hat to keep everyone’s focus higher up. I got at least 4 compliments on these dandelion drops in one afternoon, and no compliments on my underwear, so I’m optimistic that I beat the odds.

One of our favorite downtown restaurants closed last week, so we made plans to make one last visit (RIP, brussel sprout and goat cheese pizza). “What day should we go?” “Well, I have X on Monday…” “And I have to pack for my work trip on Wednesday, then I leave Thursday…” “So, Tuesday?” “Sounds good!”

Monday night, I picked out the next day’s outfit as always. Went for a red dress. K picked out an outfit too. Pink sweater. Tuesday morning, we said our good mornings and have a nice days.

It wasn’t until the security guard at my office wished me a happy Valentine’s Day that I realized what day it was. It was the day everyone and their lover wears pink and red and goes out to dinner. Dammit. We’re usually so much cooler than other couples, but this year we were mainstream. Accidentally mainstream, though. That must count for something. I like to see it as: we were cute and romantic without even trying, so we win!
