A couple of things: first, I know I said in my last post that I was planning on wearing fewer jeans from here on out. I assure you that continues to be my intention, but I woke up this morning and the air coming through my window was a little chilly, so I went for jeans. I'm hoping that future, morning air will not be chilly but humid and/or pleasantly warm and that I feel the desire to wear dresses again. That is my hope.
Second, Photographer Lizzie is not in the office today, so I actually took these pictures myself! Selfies! It was tricky to capture the whole ensemble in a single shot, but I've included what I believe to be a fairly accurate composite below. I should note that in real life my face is visible and my thighs are not growing out of my hands, but of course you know that. But what if our selfies started changing what we actually looked like?! Did I just come up with a fantastic idea for a new dystopian, teen, paranormal romance book-turned-blockbuster trilogy?! Is this my big break?! I don't think I, the author, would also star in the movies, but maybe, just for a laugh among myself and the producers, I'd read for the lead, a strong but sometimes fragile junior in high school who falls for the bad boy, and maybe my audition would just be too good to cast anyone else. Maybe, all of a sudden I would have fame I didn't ask for and I'd go on talk shows and tell them how much I love Amy Schumer while touching the male hosts' arms. I'd be given another book deal to anthologize my own selfies that I now take every morning to market the upcoming release of the series' first installment. Or, maybe not. The neckline of this blouse isn't ideal for the office, but who cares, it's casual Friday!
