Today's outfit inspiration comes from this striped blazer styling suggestion on Pinterest.

I originally tried this with a navy floral top but it didn't work at all--the top has something of a peasant sleeve, at a 3/4 sleeve length no less, that was not happy to be confined under this blazer. I can usually put my hand up my blazer sleeve to
So I took this occasion to substitute in a (joyous) bird blouse that I haven't worn enough.
Navy/teal bird top (Nordstrom), $13.00/wear+
Grey and white striped blazer (thrifted, Target), $2.50/wear
Bootcut jeans (thrifted, Target), $0.63/wear
Bright teal flats (Payless), $2.60/wear
Green/blue necklace (Target), $4.94/wear
Outfit total: $23.67/wear (on the high side once again because of the top)
Wearing this necklace was not my first instinct (I had initially planned to go with mint) but I thought I'd give something sparkly a try, and I liked the result.
Do the birds on the blouse kind of look like doves to you too? Here is a photo of some actual doves at the zoo for comparison. It was cool to watch these doves because they appeared to be building a nest.
In other news...This morning at breakfast I was catching up with a June issue of the Economist, with this article about a robot competition. My favorite line:
"Running Man, the Atlas robot with which
IHMC won second place, showed what the platform [walking on legs vs. moving on tracks] was capable of—though
after completing its winning round it did rather let the side down by
falling over as it struck a sequence of victorious poses."
Robotic hubris, it gets you every time.
As Robert was leaving for work, I cautioned him not to fall asleep while driving to work (because we're both underslept and it's a cloudy, drowsy, headache day) and he said he wouldn't, adding, "And no victorious poses."
