Monday Outfit: I'm So Blue

Blue, the colour of sorrow in all the songs.  Fitting on not only the first day of having to wake up an hour earlier than I already did for work (6:30 AM... blech), but the day following Alice in Wonderland's defeat at the Oscars.  Okay, so it won Art Direction and Costume Design, but I was on the VFX team, so I was really hoping for us to win that one.  It would have been really awesome.  I guess I can't complain too much, though, since we were nominated in the first place.

It's not all doom and gloom over here.  I actually pulled my Terra Nova shirt out because I'm super excited to go again this year.  In, you know, September.  But I was talking about it with some folks over dinner last night, and it put me in the mind that I can be creative and awesome at any time.  Of course, it's a little easier when you're awake, which I'm not exactly right now.  But hey, my outfit matches.

I think, however, the skirt needs retiring.  You can't really tell from the pictures, but it has lost a lot of its vibrancy since I bought it, and it just doesn't look as nice anymore.  Its main redeeming quality is that it has pockets.  I do like the colour, but frankly, all that means is that I should get some fabric and use my pattern from my favourite white skirt, since it's a good cut on me and I can make it in any colour I want.

I also need to rethink my layering strategy.  It's cold when I leave for work, but it is not by the time I get to lunch.  I sit under an air conditioner and sometimes it's super chilly, but sometimes I'm overheating.  Logistics.  Still working them out.  Of course, in a month or two it'll be warm again until like, November.  Such is the life here.
