OOTD: Blazing

Have you ever wished that you could do something and, once given the opportunity, just didn't?  Whether it's big -- find a new job, move to a new place, decide to propose -- or small -- take a random sick day when you aren't sick, take that language class, run a marathon, things sometimes get in the way.  Many times it's just getting sucked into the daily routine of life.  You know, get up, eat breakfast, go to work, come home, start dinner, work out, eat dinner, watch TV, go to bed.  Other times, it's pure laziness.  Today, I actually was able to leave work early because of a doctor's appointment, and was fully intending to go to a coffee shop to work on my blog, personal errands, and whathaveyou afterwards.  I've always said I LOVE going to coffee shops when I don't have to do "real" work with a "real" deadline.  Well, 3 hours later, and I was still sitting in my room, folding laundry.  Well you know what readers?  I finally got off my tushie, and here I am.  Finally at my local Starbucks.  And now that I'm here, I'm loving it.

Yes, my hair is in the messy bun again.  I rather like it -- it shakes up my "usual" hair routine.  I'm also wearing a blazer (Duh).  You know, I have an affinity to blazers in concept.  But they always seem to fit strangely when I get them on and end up back in my closet before I leave the house.  I'm not sure what it is.  I finally invested in a really good one from J Crew (on sale, but still! whew!), and I'm digging the pinstripe.  Do you have pieces of clothing that you love in concept but have a hard time wearing?  Tell me I'm not the only crazy one.  

This look is great because it looks more summery, but it still keeps me warm as the Bay Area barely hits 70 degrees day to day.  I keep seeing bright pops of color and lots of shorts in magazines and online, and I can't wait till it's warm enough here for me to wear those things too.  Come ooooon summer! 

Hope you all have something great planned for the holiday weekend!  Thanks for stopping by, see ya tomorrow!
