Guess what? It's casual week at work for the next two weeks! Loves it. Anytime I get to wear whatever I want to work, life is good. I found this men's robe at a vintage store earlier this fall. Every time I wear it, I feel like I belong in a 1950's movie. It reminds me of men's smoking jackets from that era. Back when I was in high school I used to scour the vintage stores for men's silk pajama bottoms. I had them in every print imaginable. I wore them to school as pants all the time. Imagine them tightly pinned and rolled at the bottom. Yep. That was how I rolled and I thought it was HOT. Who doesn't love a comfy pair of pj's that double as pants? This girl does. Might have to bring that style back-minus the pins and rolling.

Monday came way too quickly. My blog post title is both describing my outfit and my state of mind at this point. I could have really used a weekend from my weekend. Don't get me wrong, I had a great weekend. But getting up today was BRUTAL. Top that off with meetings back to back all day (I didn't even have time to eat lunch) and then finally leaving the office at 5:45 only to come home to finish what I didn't accomplish at work. UGH. Someone pass me a bottle of wine stat!  I'm glad I'm taking Friday off this week, if only to sleep in. Ha! Why are Monday's so bad? I think it should be mandatory 3 day weekends with Mondays off. But then would Tuesday's become the new Monday? Hmmm things to ponder as I try to get myself to bed early.

Based on the looks of our garage (isn't that hole by my head lovely?), it's time either paint or reside. Last year we had the house painted and that was no small task. Thank god we hired out for that or we'd still be painting. Normally, I'm a DIYer, but when it comes to big, surmounting tasks like this, I prefer to hire someone. So if you know anyone who'll give me a fair bid, send them my way.

After the fantastic weekend weather we had, the yard is starting to shape up as well. As soon as the seed fills in, I'll share pictures. I'm actually looking forward to hanging out back here and spending the warm nights with great friends and good rosé (my new favorite summer wine).

With Spring in the air, temps warming up, and daylight lasting longer, it was high time I broke out some color and spiced things up at work. This is my toned down version of color blocking. I originally wanted to wear a bright orange sweater on top, but thought it might a bit bold for my co-workers. Thus, I opted for a light orange gingham blouse. This is by far my favorite spring outfit to date. I can't wait to break out more color. Long live spring!

It's so good to have my closet back. I was actually giddy getting ready for work on Monday. I knew what I was going to wear right when I woke up! I'd been patiently waiting to wear my favorite dress. Honestly, it felt so good to just grab anything out of my closet. So many options to fit so many moods. It's good to be back!
