Andy Dufresne. The tidy tax man, wrongly convicted, who somehow found a way to keep his spirit alive in - and eventually escape from - Shawshank Prison. No matter what my own personal prison might be, and no matter how long it might take to tunnel out, Andy reminds me that it's worth it. There is light at the end of that tunnel, and my knowledge and abilities can get me there - if only I have a little patience.
Today's outfit is inspired by Andy's prison uniform: chambray shirt and blue jeans. I've buttoned my banker-blue shirt all the way up like the prisoners did in the film, done my best to slouch my blue sloans, and got to thinking about what Mexico means to me. The striped bag represents prison bars, and the red jacket represents Andy's best friend, Red.

Sometimes dressing is a lot like chess... taxing. But with a little help from Rita Hayworth (definitely not my Sisters), I'll find my outfit redemption. If the office is cold, my Red jacket will be my best friend - and if I'm not warm after that, I just might escape down to a hotel in Mexico!
