First things first.
Happy Birthday, Dad!
It's been a while since we've done a Reverse Inspiration, so here's one with a purple pencil skirt and a grey cardigan.

When JCP had these Worthington pencil skirts on sale last month, I couldn't resist buying a couple. They are probably my favorite pencil skirts (with the Halogen seamed pencil skirt from Nordstrom a close second). Although I have a pair of purple pants, they are those blurple ones, so it was nice to get something that is a true plum-type purple.
*Purple pencil skirt (JCP), $11.89/wear+
White long-sleeved T (Walmart), $0.50/wear+
Beige-grey ponte knit blazer (Target), $3.57/wear
*Black/beige/grey floral stained glass scarf (Kohls), $6.79/wear+
Grey tights
Grey leopard wedges by Cole Haan, $14.14/wear
Outfit total: $36.89/wear
Instead of a colorful chunky necklace, I went more classic with floral "stained glass" scarf I bought for my birthday. I like the mix of neutrals in this scarf--I think I'll find it a very useful addition to my scarf collection.
In other news...Robert and I are leaving town after work on Friday to drive about 2.5 hours north of Coldville to a place where an ivory gull--a gull that usually winters about 1500 miles away, north of the Arctic circle--has decided to hang out. I'm not into gulls as a general rule, but a life gull? That I would never, ever see otherwise? That seems worth the drive. We're hopeful we might also pick up bohemian waxwing while we're there because a flock has been reported in the area. Luckily it's supposed to be 25 F on Saturday morning, though steadily getting colder as the day goes on, so driving down tomorrow to get a fresh start on the birds during the relatively warm early hours on Saturday morning is our plan.
I would love to pick up a life bird or two as an unbirthday present!
I have now seen photos of my nephew and he is cute. As my dad put it, now that he's no longer red, he looks like a person. Yay for babies that look like people!
