reasons to be happy

i have FINALLY moved into a more appropriate
office space at work, which means:
more space, more comfort, more privacy, more storage.
YAY!
i also had one of those perfectly adult conversations
with my boyfriend last night after thinking about the
possibility of moving in together. i'm not anxious to
jump into anything, but i suggested we seriously revisit the issue
in about 6 to 8 months and see how we feel then.
i like that i'm not relying on that whole "i miss you
so much all the time let's just live together rightthissecond!" feeling.
i'm glad i'm being smart this time!
and i'm also happy with how my outfit turned out today!
BOOMPS!

i have 2 of these dresses (another one in black).
they're very versatile, comfortable, and flattering, and only
cost $20.
dress: Old Navy
coral shirt: thrifted (via Goodwill)
sash: Target probably
shoes: NaNa (via 6pm.com)
up top:

sash (such pretty colors!!)

earrings (handed down from Mom):

necklace (old, no clue really where it came from):
wish i could have gotten a better pic of it.
the little balls are pink and clear.

bracelet (purchased at a women's conference '05)
shoes:

shoes 2

shoes 3.14

pi face?
the boss called this morning and said me
and some other co-workers are taking a field trip today.
and doing training in the car.
hmmmmm.
i hope i don't get carsick taking notes!!

first-time poster on your blog... i LURVE that scarf + the way it pulls this whole look together! if you ever feel the need to part with it, feel free to pass it along my way. ;)

I agree with Evanadine, the sash is the star of the show.
Hopefully your boss actually means 'day out having fun' but said training in the car to keep the uber-boss happy!

I want your dress, and the black one and since I'll have those you can throw in the scarf aswell!! Gimme gimme gimme!

I love that sash, too adorable.

Oh, and that story about tea parties was the best story I have ever heard.

You're adorable.

I just found your blog, and I'm glad I did! A sweater dress layered over a button down? Genious! I love the entire outfit.
