plain and simple

jeans, Banana Republic Factory Store

      I bought this white tee a while back, figuring it would be indispensable. Instead it has been quietly languishing in my t-shirt drawer. Same thing happened with my white buttondown, which has since found a good home with my sister. I've figured out that plain white tops are just too  ... plain for my taste. An easy solution was to toss on a new scarf. 
     I'm excited about March, because it includes many notable dates, such as my husband and I's date-a-versary, our wedding anniversary, and Spring Break.  Already on my Spring Break agenda is to sew a quilt for a friend who had a baby in January, and to read, read, and read.

     It takes me longer to take unimpressive photos with my iPhone than it does to set up my camera and focus it. Forgive/ignore the cluttered background ... 
     I considered wearing a brown belt, but figured that a pink belt was needed to counteract the brain-straining effects of an all-day math standards workshop scheduled for a Monday. The skirt is a little shorter than I prefer for work, but for a non-instructional day it was just fine.  I'm glad that I fished it out of mom's donations bag! (Better photos of the skirt - paired with coral - are here).
    What do you wear to cheer yourself up during a long day at work?
