#4!

1+3+6+7+9+2

Some people have commented that a capsule wardrobe seems like a lot of work. Not true I say. In fact it's the opposite. It may take a bit of pre-planning (which admittedly sucks...weekly meal plans and saving for a pair of shoes? boring...) but after that ground work, your outfits are laid out for the week. The only downside is, you can't change your mind. Today I wouldn't have minded switching it up a little. Not that overly ripped jeans (sorry Mom and Dad), plaid and sweatshirts aren't a perfect solution for being casually chic... I just did not try on this outfit beforehand and the sweatshirt has a bit of stretch in it, which kept pulling at the plaid shirt and making it lie funny. And after my big spiel two days ago about 'owning your look', I spent far too much time today tugging my shirt into place and fussing with the layers. Not my favourite look of the week...
Today I went for coffee with the sisters who run The Last Hurrah. Too much fun to talk clothes, cats and blogs. It's weird to discuss blogging in real life. I talk about it with Linda obviously and it does come up in conversation with other friends but sometimes my blog talk seems really...shallow...compared to what others are going through. What's more important? Blogging or the # of months a baby should be breastfed? That's a rhetorical question, I know the answer. Blogging trumps all.

The close-up pic of this outfit may have bored you, so I'm subjecting you to the cuteness that is Stella. I don't think he was too thrilled to be included but after saving his life, feeding him his special food, scooping his litter and loving him to pieces, you'd think he'd at least pretend to care.
