Red River Hog Bathing at Rivers Edge--Tuesday, 1/30/18
I love this combination of navy striped top and floral scarf. It wasn't nearly warm enough to wear that on its own (high 27 F), so I put this dress length cardigan with it, and was pleased to tie in with the beige color on the scarf. I don't wear beige very much at all, so matching that element of this scarf is not a common thing. But of course I am happy with pattern mixing + matchy-matchy in one outfit.
Outfit cost per wear (OCPW): $11.75
This beast isn't named after a place called the Red River; it's a reference to the fact that it's a red colored hog (though dusty enough in this photo to look more beige) that lives in the African rainforests near rivers or swamps.

Bufflehead at Upper Newport Bay--Wednesday, 1/31/18
Another day, another black and white bird blouse + tipped blazer outfit, this time with a dark purple skirt for a low-contrast combination.
OCPW: $19.44
I was very pleased with how this (wild) bufflehead photo turned out--you can really see the iridescent purple and green on his head. The white feathers look so soft yet crisply snowy white...which is entirely inappropriate given that he is wintering in southern California. Buffleheads can be challenging to capture because they love to dive, dive, dive, and dive some more, but this one was very cooperative. I guess he was just feeling that laid back California vibe.

In other news...A really depressing article about how screwed K-12 education in Oklahoma is right now.

Education in Oklahoma is in such dire straits! And going after Medicaid next! I’m trying to imagine what would have happened to my Dad if Medicaid hadn’t helped pay for him to be in a nirsing home.
It's like the state is racing itself to the bottom, and there's no obvious way for it to turn itself around. Time to get the fuck out of there, right?
