Don’t you love it when my posts start with “Today a co-worker said to me…”? Well if you don’t, then ad lib the following sentence to have it say whatever you’d like.
Today a ________ said to me “Oh I like your necklace! It looks like a lady tie.” That’s right, she said “lady tie.” To my face. I almost erupted in tears due to the fact that it was so painful to hold in laughter for that amount of time. The minute she left my office I googled lady tie, a term I’ve never had the pleasure of hearing before. Turns out Avril Lavigne was really onto something in 2002. Moving on.
This is the debut of a new shirt that I got before the whole shopping ban. (Apparently I shopped enough for both March and April, says my husband.) It’s actually a pretty long tunic, that I think I can get away with just leggings underneath. It passed the “Cover Thy Bum” rule (The 11th commandment, if you were wondering.) Moses would be proud. Well probably not, since I just appended a Bible story. But he would give a nod at my modesty for sure. Yesterday though I tucked in it and decided to mix it with a little red accents and good hair. That’s right I said it — I had a freaky good hair-day yesterday and I’m not ashamed to say it. This usually only happens right before a hair cut, on a day when no one is there to witness it or on a rainy day, so you better believe I told everyone I saw yesterday how good my hair looked. (Note: if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to see it, does it still count as a good hair day?)
That’s enough rambling for a Friday afternoon. Cheers to the weekend.

I really like this look! And you definitely were having a good hair day… though I can safely say I have yet to see a photo of you on a bad hair day. I haven't had a quantifiable good hair day in quite a while (read: what's up ponytail?)

p.s. That wall looks so high up!
Those jeans look amazing! And I love that little cute necklace.
all Fridays should be good hair days 🙂
Oh my, these pictures are gorgeous! The sun is just perfect, and I like the outfit 🙂
That "lady tie" comment reminds me of the SNL spoofs on the UPS whiteboard guy.

I love the necklace. You look great!
I love your outfit, and the scenery is gorgeous!
LOVE!
I know I leave you these comments every couple days, but you crack me up.
You are definitely one of my faves, also your hair looks amazing. I'm glad you told everyone about it.

I think the answer is yes, if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to see it, it definitely counts as a good hair day! Really love the pics today!
Wow, who knew a lady tie could be so pretty????? I surely didn't… I love that tunic too!! 🙂
Love the "lady tie" heehee. And your hair does, in fact, look perfect. Though honestly, it always looks fabulous.
As a sidenote: I'm terrified of heights and those pics of you on the ledge (wearing heels no less!) make me totally dizzy. You are braver than me!

I really like what you did here, it's such a cute update to a modern classic! The pop of red in the belt and the colors in your "lady tie" update this simple/chic outfit.
if i had a dollar for every "my coworker said" story i could retire as of yesterday. but lady tie… that's pretty good. i like the lady tie so there.
Hehe, I guess it does look like a lady tie! My good hair days happen on the days I actually get my hair cut, when the stylist makes it all nice….then it's 4-6 weeks until the next good hair day!
that "lady tie" comment made me laugh out loud, so funny. I however love that necklace

as avril lavine might say, why does everything have to be so complicated? can't we tell a necklace from a lady tie these days?
ooooo coworkers!
it always makes me a little bit uncomfortable when i get outfit compliments in real life. i of course say thank you, but it's still just a little strange!
these photos are fantastic!
"Lady tie" made soda just come out of my nose. Ouch. But also awesome.
