For some reason I'm not having a great day (feeling discouraged about not making my goal time in the marathon, thought my thighs look huge in the race pics, bad hair day, blah blah blah, just stupid stuff and I know I'll feel better tomorrow). I just want to be comfortable, but also didn't want to succumb to the temptation to wear something drab to match my mood.

So I pulled out one of my purchases from a while back that was still hanging with the tags on in my closet. It's not my perfect red shirt I wanted, but it's past the return period so it's mine now -- I figured I should at least give it a shot, and it's a big hit of color that will maybe give me some of my energy back! They had it styled in the store with it tied in the front like this, which I liked. I like the split back. I'm kind of over the gathered sleeve/shoulder thing, but maybe it's not so bad.

As for the bad humidity-hair day, I pulled out this crazy madras cap I found for $4 and just couldn't resist. It might be ridiculous on me, but there it is.

The jeans are my favorite and most comfortable pair, and the Doc Saras always make me smile.

Feel free to tell me if I've lost my mind with this hat! For $4 I can afford to give it away.
