I'm not going to go into details, but I did something kinda stupid at work the other day. I've been trying to lay low and not draw any attention to myself, so when I got up this morning to dress, I knew I wanted to wear something dark and low-key. I don't think it's a boring outfit at all, but it's a little more subdue than my usual Friday flair. Before I started blogging, my closet was filled to the brim with black pants and black shirts and gray sweaters. I wanted to blend in. I wanted to be invisible.
Now it's a little tougher, because even my "boring, safe" clothes have a little bit of fashion and fun. The top has a great print and a cute bow at the neck. The pants and sweater are fitted. I'm wearing funky bracelets and crazy hair. But I guess I did a pretty good job of blending in. No one bothered me. And I was dressed comfortably. It's a win-win. And one day I'm going to learn to think before I speak ;)

We've all been there, chica... and you're rockin' the look, even if it is out of the canary yellow norm.

I actually really like this outfit. It's good to have things in your closet that can be extremely professional, but still show your personality. Also your new hair cut/ color is fantastic!
I love the print on the top and the bow is too cute! I'm loving your new hair!! Have a great weekend, Katie!

Sounds like your attempt at camouflage worked, and it was stupendously cute, too. I really like the floral print and fit of that top on you. :)

Thank you, Jodie! I thought it was pretty sharp myself ;)
Thank you! Me too. I wish I could find more tops like this!
Thank you!!!! I'm talking more about the hair on Monday!
You are too sweet, Susanna! Thank you so much :)
Maybe if I ever figure it out, I can write a book about it!
Glad someone else understands what I mean. I cringe to think about some of the things I wore 2 or 3 years ago. I am just some much more pulled together now!
Yay!!! You should!
Thank you so much, Kathy! You are always so sweet :)
Thank you, Sharon! I'm talking about my hair on Monday and showing off how drastic the ombre really is!
Thank you! Thank you!!! I agree so much. Even compared to a year ago, I plan outfits so much differently than back then.
Ha! Thanks! I'll be back to the yellow next week, I'm sure :)
Thank you, Jenn :)
