It's wierd because in my "outside of work" life, I tend to think of myself as at least semi-fashion forward. Yet, I have never, ever, worn anything but solid colored sweaters to work in the last 6 years.
I'm that much of a risk taker.
I could blame it on my engineering background...engineers aren't exactly known for their fashion sense, but alas, since I'm obsessed with shoes and own at least 14 pairs of jeans, I don't think I can get away with this excuse.
One of my goals for the year is to not purchase a single solid colored sweater.
(I think I will allow myself to replace a basic staple if needed however...think black cardigans)
I purchased my first print on Friday. There was another version of it in brown/yellow, but I decided for my first print, I should play it safe. That way, if I feel uncomfortable, I can snap up my black cardigan and no one will be the wiser.
It was tough getting dressed this morning, but I made myself do it and, much to my surprise, I survived the day.
Phew. I need a glass of wine. Maybe next time I can get the colorful one? Or not.

you are my hero! I'm also a solid wearing fool, but I carry that into my outside of work life too. My principal and teacher aide only wear black. We all try to positively reward them and tell them that they look nice when they DON'T wear black.
