Forgive the camera phone picture, the fact that my husband is doing his best to make me laugh, and the bags under my eyes caused by daughter being awake from 1:30 to 4:30AM!

I work in a very casual office (people wear shorts and flip-flops for 9 months out of the year), and this is my typical uniform - jeans, casual top, and topper. Yesterday, I wore this old pair of ON jeans that are a little on the short side, so I paired them with ankle booties to a little more coverage since it was a chilly day. The tee is ivory with a fun little zebra print, and I've topped it with a soft black zippered drapey cardigan.

After posting last week about my body type, I am starting to see that I might not be having enough volume on the lower half of my body to balance out the top. I've always tended toward covering up on top, especially when I was younger, because of the size of my chest. But I can see now how that can end up creating more bulk and making me look a little out of proportion. Maybe I'd be better off not trying to hide my top curves so much?

Anyway, this is where I'm starting from, and I'm hoping that by continuing to learn from and be inspired by all of you, I can start to zero in on what works for me, what doesn't, and really define a personal style. Here's to learning!
