OOTD = Outfit of the Day
For my purposes, I decided the "Outfit of the Day" would be "Outfit that fit the annoying exigences of the day." With cool weather (high 42 F) and rain expected, and a doctor's appointment in the afternoon, I wanted something warm-ish, with weatherproofed boots, but not tights (because I just flat ain't willing to deal with tights at the doctor's office). For a Monday, I didn't feel 100% comfortable wearing jeans tucked into boots, so I went with the black pants tucked into boots approach (that I have only worn on Fridays up until now, I think, but I'm OK with wearing on a Monday).
I had a lot of "black pants" pins to choose from (though fewer than you might think) but this one looked good for a cool, rainy day.

I first tried it with my short-ish, dark grey cardigan but I didn't love it. I also tried my grey leopard scarf but couldn't figure out a way to tie it that left the black polka dots showing (it's not quite long enough to double-loop as a faux-finity scarf reliably--or, rather, it is, but the fringed edge causes complications in tying the ends together). So I switched in a lighter grey cardigan and my coral infinity scarf that I've decided is probably a cheetah print rather than a leopard print. And took a terrible photograph in the too-dark room.

See, there really are polka dots on this shirt.
Verdict: The nurse at the doctor's office said, Oh I love your scarf--I love cheetahs! So cheetah it is. I apologize, cheetah, for having called you a leopard all these months.

Sorry about the job uncertainty. It really sucks, especially when you're happy where you work! I've gotten really sick of roller coasters too. But who doesn't love cheetahs?
Thanks, Jen--it's odd being in a situation where I'm like, No, please don't pay me (a little) to stay home, I just want to come to work!
And cheetahs--YES!
