'Twas a fabulous weekend, indeed.

A bit of a chill, but the sun was shining and as long as the sun is out - I am a giddy gal!

The b/f and I went to an antique show on Saturday and this is what I wore. I've never really been antiquing but have always been fascinated by the thrill of the find. I was quite surprised at the price of most items - very expensive. The best deal we got was 4 Vogue covers from 1925 - for $5. We're going to mount them to hang in the powder room.

Then my patient b/f accompanied me to a shopping mall where I was looking to purchase a skirt for church. I treated him to ice cream for his good deed :) And it was the first ice cream cone of the season! Even better.

jean-y.

This look is derived from 2 different blogs I read last week...one blogger put a cowlneck sweater under a dress and another blogger talked about wearing a denim dress in a different way - et voilà!

My weekend was super relaxing! I found out some good friends are expecting a baby; another good friend got engaged; and I now await the 3rd piece of good news (bad news can't be the only thing that comes in 3's).

support.

I woke up exhausted yesterday. So, I decided to put on a dress. I find it's almost easier to do that - not having to worry about coordinating tops, shoes, etc

If anything, this picture depicts the importance of undergarment support. It is extremely important. I am clearly wearing the wrong brassiere and the gals seem to have succumbed to gravity by day's end.

my bus driver

My face usually reads like a book. I have puppy dog eyes when I'm sad; they shine when I'm happy and I scowl when I'm frustrated. Needless to say I'm not a good poker player. I get too excited with a good hand and give it all away! Today is a frustrating day at work and so far most of my coworkers have apporached me to ask what's wrong and I hadn't even spoken a word yet.

I used to hate that everyone could read my emotions but after working at a children's hospital - I don't mind so much anymore. I'm a good, empathetic, happy person and usually I make everyone feel better about their day and themselves. I guess it's only right that I let it happen for me too.

I split my commute to work - either drive or take the bus - depending on my work schedule and meeting with sponsors and such. I don't mind taking the bus. The route isn't too long and I can get some reading done that I often find I don't have much time for otherwise. The driver on my first bus is a singing bus driver. I love it! Not everyone shares my joy it seems. This morning he announced that if anyone doesn't want him to sing, to please tell him when they board the bus and he won't sing for the stretch of road that he usually does. It was the saddest thing I think I've heard in a really long time. Who takes offence to a sweet older gentleman who sings these happy-go-lucky songs for all of 6 minutes on a long farm road?!?! I don't think I will ever understand mankind. Fortunately for this driver, many people on the bus felt the same as me and we encouraged him to sing his tune. He always gets a small round of applause and everyone on the bus is smiling after they leave. Why would anyone not want to start their day that way?

So, I'm pretty sure he doesn't read my blog about the clothing choices I make, I am dedicating today's blog to him - and to the other people in this world who try to make everyday a little bit of a nicer place. I hope you all enjoy a day full of song yourselves!

black crack

It's the end of no black pants week! I did it! I also realized that since I started this blogging experience, I have yet to duplicate an outfit at work. And that was truly one of the reasons I wanted to start this work wardrobe blog. My conclusions about this - I have a lot of clothes. I just wasn't utilizing them to their potential - and even now I still have so much work to do. A journey I'm definitely looking forward to persuing.

Happy Friday!
