I didn't know it when I picked out this outfit, but this will always be what I wore when my Husband accepted a great new career opportunity! He has worked so hard and so persistently to achieve his successes, and I am infinity proud of him! What to do with our situation has been weighing so heavily on us for the last few weeks, and this has taken a huge weight off our shoulders.  Sort of like cutting giant 80s-tastic shoulder pads out of an old jacket!

As for the outfit, I was trying to play with some fun ways to dress up a basic black/grey dress. I think this may have actually have been better with a black belt to allow the jacket to really pop. Look at me playing with neutrals again! Ah personal growth, sometimes you can't escape it!

I was totally excited about the monochromatic theme for this month's Everybody Everywear. I thought would be easy, but alas, once again, I was wrong. I started looking for the perfect monochrome outfit, and I just wasn't seeing it. I know my greens aren't' the same, but they are friends! Are you having fun with your EBEW!?

In the interest of full disclosure, I did wear this jacket for much of the day because offices and A/C are cold!!

I bought these shoes almost 2 years ago for my best friends wedding. I don't remember much about life before I had her as my friend. I really like these shoes too, but they will always have the sweet sentiment of her beautiful wedding attached to them. Do you attach sentiment to your footwear? No? Only crazy people do that? Oh well!

Hubs and I got to attend the Pacers playoff game 5, so I'll post my outfit for that soon too! The mayor of Indianapolis proclaimed this day "Blue and Gold Tuesday". This is my attempt at participating, and I think I was successful at being both a Pacers fan and a professional.
