“In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.”

Another monochromatic in brown.  This is part of my dear god, how can it be this hot it Maine series of outfits.  A light brown tee from the gap and a brown cotton skirt i picked up at Marshalls.  The cowboy boots I wasn't sure about and then I wore them and they're so comfortable I wear them all the time now.

No one commented on whether or not they weren't work appropriate and technically boots are on the ok list.  They covered my tattoos and that helps when big wigs come to visit.

If I wear any of this again I'll add more color, but the skirt is very summer so it might be a while.

"Sometimes the more you think about an outfit the worse it gets"

This is the outfit I wore on the first day of work.  The shirt we weren't sure about, my sister said military was over.  Fortunately I live in a place where fashion isn't so cut throat and although I have never worn anything with buttons before as a decorative element but I really like it.  

I love this pencil skirt.  Pencil skirts are another I have avoided in the past but I really love the way it fits.  

The shoes are a little obliterated by the hanger, whooops! but they're Madden Girl kitten heels from a few years ago.  I chose kitten heels for the first day to be on the conservative side.  I'm getting more adventurous with my heels as I only work part-time and I don't have to stand on my feet a full day.  

This is one of many monochromatic outfits I have been wearing to work.  I had pledged to use more color in my life but apparently I turn back to black pretty frequently.
