new favorite...

New favorite outfit alert! I was extremely comfortable ALL day... which never happens.Tights, tunic, blazer, scarf... BAM!Love it! SO did you watch American Idol??I'm still marinating in my thoughts.  But, boy did Deandre look ADORBS in his blazer and ponytail!I know that the Voice and the X Factor all get compared to Idol, but I will always be a fan.What is your faaaaavorite vocal competition? Or do you watch the Bachelor or something?Yeah, I don't get that show so you can hate on Idol all you want.

In all reality, today is my first day back to work.Christmas vacation is over. (boo, hiss) But in merry blogland we are going to continue believing that I'm still on break!I really wore this a few days back to get sushi lunch and manicures with one of my besties in town from VA (hey, jess!!).  I love the contrasting look of a comfy sweater and graphic tee with distressed skinny jeans and wedges.  There's a whole lotta juxtaposition-ing going on!
Did you have to return to the real world today, too? Bummer.

As part of my 2012 goals to grow creatively & harvest more inspiration...I studded the word "create" on the wall over my desk to bring inspiration to my workplace!!!!(do it yourself: I just wrote the word in pencil and used thumbtacks--TA DA!)
