Well, one coat, and one pair of tall boots. But I was very excited about this.

#1 Fawn-in-headlights look is from yesterday, worn to work for a party dress appointment. I have had way too much of a spare tire these days to wear this dress on its own, so it was nice to revive it with a light jacket.

#3 Acid Rain look is from a couple days ago, worn to make a return in Santa Monica and scope out Crocs for travel sandals. Ended up removing the Zella because it warmed up, but it was still fun to swoosh about in a trench during the day. I have been wearing my Burberry in black regularly to go out at night.

I am kind of escaping by writing about clothing today as it's suddenly become a stressful time... I am gearing up for vacation in mere days, with lots still to do, but I just heard that my best friend from kindergarten's dad was just hospitalized and diagnosed with aggressive leukemia. He is responding to chemo, but there is a toll taken on his organs. If anyone has positive, healing thoughts to spare, I'd definitely appreciate anything. On top of being upset about the illness, I'm also so upset that I won't be here in the coming weeks whatever the outcome. Hopefully I'm not taking this post to OT land, but I guess it's fitting to have been wearing somber colors and posing in dark alleys lately...
