Monday: Walking Garden

Hmm. The dress isn't technically a floral pattern, but the green sweater and the brown leggings combined with it definitely invoke a garden aura to me! Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, it just seems a little...unsubtle.

But oh my, was this a comfortable outfit, and definitely summery. I am finding myself wearing my flat sandals constantly this summer, and all my peeptoe heels are cooling *their* heels on the rack. Not sure why this is, but it hasn't been a conscious choice. Looking back (and oh boy, it's really killing me to look back and see how much smaller I was last summer)***, I can definitely seeing the difference between the types of "business casual" I wore then compared to now. I can get away with outfits from the more casual end of the spectrum than I could at my job last year, and sandals vs. heels are a big part of that.

***So I am continuing to work on it. Maybe looking back at the pictures will keep me on the path; my new lunch box is definitely helping with that too!



Seemed like it was finally time to go all Molly Ringwald from The Breakfast Club and put some sushi in my bento. ;-D Plus some light soy sauce, tasty watermelon, almonds, key lime fatfree yogurt, and a Babybel cheese wheel, and I was set.
