I was telling a friend about Le Tote recently (you know, the clothes rental service I’ve been using the past couple months). I’ve sung its praises to many people, actually. Some of them ask me how I exercise the self-control not to keep (and pay extra for) the things I really like. It’s pretty easy. I might keep something eventually if it’s in my budget, but for now I just send it back, then log in to my account and select the “resend this piece” option.

This top was in my very first Le Tote box, and it was by far my favorite item. Look, I’m even wearing it in my welcome photo in my sidebar! So I told Le Tote they could send it again, and I was delighted to find it in my most recent box. Now I have proof that the “resend” option actually works. So if you’ve been holding off on trying Le Tote, I’m giving you one more reason to sign up. You can also give a gift subscription. Just a thought. 😉

Of course, it’s a lot colder now than it was when I first wore this top in September, so I layered a long-sleeved tee underneath. I wore this to work, so obviously I didn’t rock the floppy hat at my desk, but it did keep my head warm and my hair in place on my 3-block walk from the parking garage. Oh, and speaking of the long walk, don’t worry. I wore warm boots and changed into my heels once I got to the office. In other words, the amount of time I actually spent wearing the hat AND the heels was limited to a couple errands after work. But it happened, I swear, and it was the most fabulous part of my day.

This outfit is actually from a couple weeks ago – the last day of my Bar review course. The day before, I had put absolutely no effort into my appearance and I was in a total funk all day. So the next day I wore this. I’ll be the first to admit I had absolutely no one to impress; all my fellow Bar-preppers were stressed and too worried about themselves to notice what I was wearing (I’m just assuming this based on the fact that I was stressed and didn’t notice what anyone else was wearing). But darn it if I didn’t feel a million times better about life.

However, now that we’re only a week out from exam time, please don’t ask me how I feel about life currently. K thanks.
