Oh Happy Day

Blouse and jeans: LOFT
Cardigan and shoes: Target
Pin and earrings: Inherited from great-grandmother and grandmother
Bracelet: Gift from Cary

Reason #354 why I love my job: I spent part of my afternoon taking a student to see an apartment. And then we got ice cream and chatted for an hour. And then I went home at 2:45. So I guess that's three reasons, but all of them contributed to the awesomeness of today.

I had no idea that today would rock so hard when I got dressed, but I feel like this outfit matches my mood. (Rock so hard? Who am I?) It's a happy outfit. I'm wearing the comfiest jeans I've ever owned, a bright red blouse, which is just inherently joy-inducing, my new favorite shoes, and a giant rhinestone pin that was my great-grandmother's. And my white cardigan that seemed too boring with yesterday's outfit got a second chance today, and second chances always make me happy. I can only think of two outfits that would make me happier:

1. My wedding dress. It was beautiful and I was happy in it.
2. The dress that Cinderella wore to the ball. I'm on a lifelong quest for that dress.

This afternoon, the happiness rolls on. I'm going to help my friend Brian house-hunt, and then it's girls' night with Suzanne and Adrienne. The outfit of happiness rolls with me. I might even wear it tomorrow.
