Was it Some Kind of Holiday?

Isn’t it so tacky to dress according to a theme? I would never do something like that. Yesterday evening I went to a movie (Moonrise Kingdom), so I opted for a casual ensemble. I wore jeans – which just happened to be blue – and a super soft t-shirt – which just happened to be red- and white-striped. Any resemblance to a certain country’s flag is purely coincidental.

(Business) Casual

I work one of those offices where the dress code is business casual, but my colleagues tend to focus more on the “casual” part than the “business” part. But that works for me, because it means I can wear almost anything I want. And we all know how I like variety in my wardrobe (I used to work at a pharmacy where I had to wear navy scrubs everyday – my closet was so depressed it kept asking me to snag some uppers from the office).

So today I took a cue from my coworkers and dressed down a bit. I don’t think I’ve ever worn this cardigan with anything besides a tank underneath. I’m kinda digging the extra dose of stripes sticking out on the sleeves.
