Alice shows us once again that polka dots + floral print is a winning combination, especially with bright pink.

I took this opportunity to wear a new-to-me blouse that I bought in February (and was waiting for warmer weather to wear). It's a bigger/bolder polka dot pattern than my other short-sleeved polka dot top, and I like the gathered neckline--it's a little bit more professional seeming than the slightly-upgraded-t-shirt vibe the other one has. Of course I wore it in a decidedly not-professional outfit for its debut.

Outfit total: $13.99/wear
Hey, if other people are going to come to work in flip flops...
Luckily, this isn't true of anyone in my department.
I was thinking that I would donate this skirt to Goodwill after wearing it this one last time, but it turns out that I really enjoyed wearing it today. It fits perfectly (I thought it might be too small given the size on the tag, but in this cut of skirt, I can get away with a surprisingly smaller-than-usual size, I guess), it's comfortable, it's versatile...it's staying in my closet for now.
In other news...This week I have started preparing for the huge, every-two-years federally-mandated data collection project. I gave myself a pretty bad headache reformatting a giant spreadsheet but I'm going to be happy to have all my columns organized to make it easy to submit the data. Last time, this whole project was a mess because I was trying to figure out what my No Documentation predecessor had done and why the hell. This time, about 95% of it is extremely well documented (and the other 5% is new to this year's data collection), so it should go a lot more smoothly. Thanks, previous self--you rock!
