Gray & spring floral

Session, but no committee so I skipped the jacket today. A pretty dress from JCrew on clearance last year, the floral top hints at spring, but the dark skirt keeps it grounded in the current season. Black cardi, chevron black hose and patent mary-janes. Perfect for a 30° day!

Day after Valentine's

Sen. Skogen requested that everyone wear red today in honor of Valentine's Day & Women's Heart Disease Awareness. So, I happily obliged with my Express clearance jacket and red vintage peep-toes (boots to walk through the un-plowed parking lot). I have pants to go with the jacket, but currently they don't quite fit right. Maybe next year. Also, I would have preferred to wear my red pencil skirt, but the red in it is too orange next to the blue-red of the jacket.

Casual Fridays can be difficult

From last Friday:

I wanted to wear my gray corduroy pants, but couldn't quite figure out what to put with them. Ended up with more cream & pink. This time with a pink button-up and cream sweater. I felt a little too buttoned up and not as casual as I wanted.

State of the State

Amazing how thin black pants make you look. This is a bit of a cop-out outfit, but it's professional, without being too boring. And I decided to go with the pink/purple heels in the foreground instead of the gray tweed in the picture. For comfort reasons.

Pink, cream & gray

Like indie Valentine's. And pink shoes to be hopeful for Spring.

2nd week of February

Today:

Repeat. Staying warm in the snow and taking advantage of the 20 degree temps before it gets really cold later this week.

Monday:

The boss is gone, so I'm a bit casual. Purple open cardigan twisted and tied in back for a wrap. Gray Target pants and gray heels (wore my snow boots in to the office).

First week of February

First day of Session:

Not sure why I look so gooney in this skirt suit. It may be my pose or it may be the fact that the jacket is not tailored. I still like it. Even if I did have dorky nude hose on.

Day before session:

A little pre-session fundraiser after work calls for my super-cute (a bit too small) JCrew clearance dress. Some pretty patterned tights, tall boots for warmth and my favorite hot pink cashmere cardi.

From Precinct Caucus Day:

This wasn't my favorite outfit. I'm not crazy about the A-line skirt and button-up. Kind of school-girly, but OK.
