March 4th - Back to Reality

After a snow day, reality came back on Tuesday with saying goodbye to my sister as she went back home as well as going back to work. Now I'm stuck with taking selfies at work because I'm that person who keeps all their nice work shoes in a box under her desk, and shoes tend to complete the look. 

Starting from the top: my Pride & Prejudice scarf (because when you work at the largest library in the world you can throw in some fun literary accessories), green dress from Lands End - it has pockets! And the black boots are from Kohls at least 5 years ago. 

March 3rd - Snow Day!

The It was a snow day here in the nation's Capitol and while the snow was absolutely beautiful it did prevent my sister and I from looking at bridesmaid dresses. This was a big frustrating for two girls from Minnesota who can function quite well with 3-4 inches of snow. Nonetheless we made the most of it as there were some delicious cupcake places that were still open despite the snow. 

Being originally from Minnesota, nothing quite says "Snow Day" like a warm flannel shirt. 

The flannel shirt is from a Goodwill store, the cardigan I picked up at a Gap outlet, Old Navy pants and my trusty Sorel boots got me warmly through the snow!

March 2nd - The Oscars

While my outfit was certainly more laid back then the beautiful gowns I saw at the Oscars this evening, I can certainly believe I was more comfortable!  My sister and I went out for breakfast at a cute local hole-in-the-wall place and then visited the Gallery of Art and did some shopping. I was dressed to spend the day out and about. 

Here I am sporting a grey thermal from the men's section of American Eagle, Levi Jeans, a scarf from Old Navy and a green military jacket I got on clearance years ago at JCPennys. While I liked the outfit, it certainly wasn't the most water resistant, which would have come in handy when I was walking 4 blocks in the rain.
