Major Migraine + Flowers

I woke up this morning with a massive headache--a two-for-one sinus headache + migraine.  The kind where going to work is not even an option.  UGH.  After I took a long shower (hoping that the steam would help), I was feeling perplexed about getting dressed.  One of the downsides of a migraine is that I'm operating at a low level of cognitive power and figuring things out becomes very challenging.  I knew I didn't want to wear my planned work outfit today but had no capacity for coming up with something else.  Planned casual Friday outfit to the rescue!

My headache is now about 80% reduced so I'm now feeling basically functional but not great.  I hope tomorrow is better!

"The Stripey Floral Overlord"--Wednesday, 5/18/16

The combination of floral print and stripes is a favorite, so I decided to do my own version of this weekend outfit for casual Friday at work staying home with a migraine.  (Re: her original post, it amuses me that when a colleague asked her what she was doing for Mother's Day, she responded with something about her own mother, having temporarily forgotten that as a mom, it's her day too.  I guess it goes to show, moms were daughters first, eh?)

While she started with a colorful cardigan and repeated a color from it with the shoes, I started from a neutral base of white, black, and grey.  Then I added a couple splashes of bright blue with the necklace and ballet flats.  I liked the effect a lot!
