I'm getting the impression that, at work, I'm known as "the one with bright patterned dresses." Hopefully in a good way rather than being viewed as kooky or unprofessional, though. All I know is that, after months of feeling very stressed and very, very down, I'm now feeling mostly back to feeling more even and more happy (although still very easily tired!) and I think the change in temper is reflected in my wardrobe.

#1-2: Emerald/black Michael Kors dress, black microfishnets, gunmetal heeled oxfords, black studded stretchy belt, black and white graphic print scarf. I got a lot of compliments on the dress, and one colleague asked me "Where do you find these great dresses with SLEEVES?" (I sent her Angie's two recent articles as a starting point!)
#3-4: Floaty blue floral-patterned blouse tucked into Long & Lean bootcuts with a brown braided belt, yellow lace-up pumps, silver pendant necklace
#5: Purple/gray plaid knit dress, black zipper leggings, black and white polka dot floral brooch, silver ballet flats
#6: Red/black Nine West dress, black zipper leggings, magenta patent ballet flats. (While wearing this dress at work, I was talking with someone else who was wearing a different dress that had a butterfly print on it. Another colleague walked by and said "I guess I missed the butterfly theme today!")
#7: Magenta pencil skirt, watercolor print silk blouse, yellow lace-up pumps
#8: Nine West "scribble" faux-wrap dress, silver pendant necklace, red patent pumps
