I’m supposed to be wearing a lightweight white sweater today.
However, as it turns out, I’m wearing more of an “orange-creme” sweater (the fancy color name makes me feel better).
I literally got dressed in the dark today.
Well, partially dressed, that is. I had everything on and was ready to go. I’m wearing a sleeveless shirt so I have to have something on top- a white sweater! Will was still sleeping when I got ready this morning, so I quietly grabbed the sweater, threw it on, and left. Afterall- I already knew what I looked like for the day. I just imagined that plus a white sweater. No need for a mirror check.
I got to work, did my normal thing for about 3 hours and then went to the bathroom. That’s when I realized what a disaster I was wearing! Apparently My white sweater got mixed in with the colors, because I’ll shades of oranges and reds. How in the world could I have missed that!? Even in the dark!?! It’s practically glowing. I’m like a walking orangey polk-a-dotted mess. Hmm, actually, it’s more of a tie-dye. It had a small comeback what, like 7 years ago? Sadly, however, I don’t think I can pull today’s look off as a fashion statement.
Note to self: Always, always get dressed with a light on.

PS- I also wanted to say thanks so much for the sweet and genuine words of encouragement when I needed it. I appreciate your thoughts so much. I felt so much better after reading what you had to say. It was also nice to meet some of the “lurkers (Hi Sara, Lydia, Megan! Well, Megan, I guess you don’t fully count. 
I hope you’re doing great!).” I feel a peace and a lot better about the whole thing. Thanks for listening.
Just found your blog (linked from Cherie’s page) and I love it!!!
