Sunbittern--Friday, 3/16/18
I am amused by how much this skinny scarf, knotted in this fashion, looks like a men's tie. There's something about the combination of a men's tie, a denim jacket, and what looks like a men's undershirt (but is just a plain white women's t-shirt) that speaks to the weirdness of workplace casual Fridays.
Outfit cost per wear (OCPW): $12.41
Unfortunately, we did not see this sunbittern spread its wings in an astonishing display of color and pattern that resembles two giant eyes (used in courtship, of course, but also as a threat display). But even in its relatively plain daily garb, it's quite lovely. One of the birds we could see in the wild if we ever make it to Costa Rica.

Amur Leopard at Red Rocks--Sunday, 3/18/18
A rare weekend outfit! But I wanted to show off my new brown jeans (sibling to the burgundy jeans), and give another look at the red sweater worn with brown. I've also quickly discovered that having brown jeans is going to drive down the cost per wear on these brown shoes, which are my obvious choice to wear in these outfits. That's a good thing, as these shoes have been under-utilized during my rather long recent no-brown-pants phase.
*Brown jeans (JCP), $22.49
OCPW: $30.48
Nothing says "taking it easy for the weekend" like a really big lounging kitty.

In other news...An article from last year about the evolution of the business casual dress code and the credit/blame Silicon Valley bears in the process.
The reference to Mark Zuckerberg's signature grey t-shirt and hoodie was kind of hilarious in contrast to the straight up business suit he recently wore to testify before Congress. When in Rome, eh?

We give you technology and the right to wear jeans to work. You're welcome! Lol.
Haha, can I also blame you for the scourge of workplace flip flops? :)
