Today was another comfy and plain outfit day.  Just a black shirt and jeans but my new boots make everything feel fancier (or at least in my head they do).  Necklaces make everything fancier too, right?

I put this yellow shirt in the mix because I thought I needed more color.  It’s just too bad that whenever I wear it with a sweater or jacket you can hardly see the yellow and pretty much every day from here on out is going to require a sweater or jacket.  Oh well, that’s what red scarves are for, right?  I also feel like I might be wearing one too many shades of neutral but it’s too late to change it now.  I’ve already been photographed and it’s on the internet.  Plus who says you can’t wear navy, grey, denim AND brown all together?  I am clearly making my own rules today.  I also would like to add that sweater tights are my new favorite article of clothing.  Just like a pair of tights for days you want to wear a skirt and it’s cold out… only infinitely warmer.  I had no idea they even existed until we moved here.  I guess you learn something new every day.

It’s raining today so of course I had to wear rainboots (and why not yellow when the sky is grey and bleak?). I had all of 5 minutes to get dressed this morning because Ben let me sleep in and only woke me when it was time for him to leave for school… except that he wasn’t going to be home until after it got dark and I wasn’t about to miss out on my picture on the 4th day. I do tend to slip eventually on daily projects (ahem… photo-rific) but I have never missed a day *this* early and I wasn’t about to start now.

I really, really don’t know what to do with myself in pictures. You’d think that after years of photographing other people and helping them pose and feel natural in front of the camera I’d have a better idea. But I don’t. I always end up feeling silly standing in “poses” because clearly I’m not a model and don’t resemble one at all. This is my attempt today at avoiding the awkward pigeon toe stance. If my feet are together but my knee still turned in does that count?
