I'm very busy this week, but will catch up on the forum over the weekend when I have more time and brain cells. Just wanted to share this anecdote, which made my day. (*)

I had to go into the office today. Despite the long drive, I was excited for a change of pace. I wore an outfit nearly identical to one I've already shared - black BR short sleeve jacket, white BR silky blouse with black buttons, stuart weisman faux snake-skin tipped flats, new Furla purse... but with straight leg denim, not skinnies (just not sure skinnies are quite work appropriate). And with an onyx broach to keep the blouse pinned more modestly. I chose that outfit because I got very little sleep last night and just wanted something I already knew worked.

Anyway.... I walked into the office and one of my coworkers sighed and said, "You always look so put together and stylish. Can you take me shopping with you sometime?"

Then later my other coworker went crazy over my new purse. She has a major milestone bday coming up, I encouraged her to go splurge on herself and get her own.

Footnote:
(*) That was the highlight of my day - NOT counting the long cell phone chat I had with Nicole during my drive to the office! That was fun! Thanks Nicole! Made the drive fly by.... even if I did miss my turn-off and got lost....
