Flashing Our Brights :: Highlighter Yellow

Neon and fluorescent seem to be in this season! I was able to pick up this gingham button up shirt at Ann Taylor LOFT for 30% off, a few weeks ago and love that it goes with basic blacks and also can be dressed down in denim too.

I'm a sucker for good sales. I also think that I don't have any one type of style. I buy what I like and my dress depends on what I'm feeling. Sometimes I like to be more casual, sometimes I'll dress it up some. Sometimes I like wearing more accessories, sometimes not. One of my friends says that I mix and match my items well. Sometimes I feel like I can... some days, I have the hardest time with that. I think some of my best outfits come from last minute decisions... if only I had time to photograph THOSE outfits... maybe one of these days...

Gettin' Cozy

Where I work, I'm continuosly on my feet, then sitting, then back on my feet, then sitting. Up, down, up, down. One moment I will need to help a patient with the glasses selection, then I'm sitting again billing or making calls to labs, or running data reports. And then it's back up on my feet running errands or meeting with accounts we're associated with. That being said, sometimes it's just easier dressing in something comfortable.

I <3 leggings. And I <3 flowy shirts/blouses. I really like the two, together. The friendboy asks me all the time, "How come you always wear 'flowy' shirts?" Pssh... easy for you to ask Mister. Your shirt selections typically aren't "fitted"! Try hiding your day's lunch in a fitted shirt. Then see if you like getting asked, "Ohh! How far along are you?" It doesn't always work out to your advantage.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I also really, REALLY, enjoy flats!
