If tweed-styling were an Olympic sport, I think I’d be a good contender, don’t you? I actually almost forgot there were real sporting events happening now. I thought the whole Olympics this year was just going to be people talking about the Russian doping scandal and those awkward neighbors to the north. And Jamaican bobsledding of course. But that may be because I listen to too much NPR.

What are your favorite winter Olympic events? I know it’s very predictably girly, but I love me some figure skating. Back in the day, I was all about Michelle Kwan. I couldn’t even skate, but I was obsessed with her. This year, I think my favorite part is the commentary from Tara Reid and Johnny Weir.

I got multiple complimentss on how cute and colorful I was when I wore this to the office. It’s almost as if people aren’t used to seeing bright orange and gingham blazers at a law firm (almost).

Consider this your semi-annual reminder that dressing in complimentary colors on the color wheel is a surefire way to look like an interesting, fashion-forward person. I’m sure I could find some old episodes of What Not to Wear that would prove this theory wrong, but guess what, Stacey and Clinton? Your show’s over and I’m in charge now. And I’m telling everyone to wear more colors. GO NUTS.
