OMG Sophia. I just don't even know.

I don't particularly think of sleeveless as a work issue, but that might be Jamaica talking.

I think it's one of my weird old-lady opinions, so I would never try to impose it on anyone, which is why I'm secretly (not-so-secretly) glad when someone else does.

For the beach wedding, I'd say either flats or wedges. If you're just on the actual beach for the blessing, it should be brief. Or I bet women will have heels that they just take off for that part.

Don't they usually put down some kind of wooden floor over the sand for fancy beach weddings?

I have been to one beach wedding, but it was not fancy. We in the wedding party went barefoot for the ceremony.

OMG, I cannot get Rent out of my head. I don't understand. I can't remember the last time I heard it. I think it's the first act finale? In the Life Cafe.

Oooh this would be awesome.

Dressy flats should be just fine.

As would this.

I never feel like I can weigh in on work appropriate clothing discussions because I've never worked anywhere with a dress code. I'm currently wearing linen shorts and a really old green strappy top. I'm also barefoot. It's very warm.

Yeah, I should say that when I talk about work-appropriate, I mean appropriate for a place that is fairly business-y. Obviously I don't think every person in every job needs to dress up.

Sophia, I live in DC and local news reports have the Obamas periodically attending services at a Baptist church. The first Easter he was in office he came to services at my (Episcopalian) church. So ... is that proof he's Christian?

Jars, for a fancy beach wedding (a friend of mine had one last fall, so I'm going by what she had) - you might look into a long dress with flats. If you want to wear something beige or off-white, you might wear a colored shawl or something to make it less bride-y. My friend had a picture of her family, on the beach, and several of them had their shoes off. But it was Florida, and quite warm.

I would be willing to bet that jeweled sandals would work too.

Today's work outfit: White strapless sundress with brown piping and brown, tan and blue randomly sized and spaced dots (largish) with a short sleeved white denim jacket and patent leather brown skinny belt and brown patent leather high heeled mary janes. Also watermelon nails [link]

My outfit today is scattered. I've been up three hours already, and I'm grumpy and whatever.

Safari-style striped shirt (with the rolled and buttoned cuffs above the elbow), jeans, big belt, cowboy boots. Chainmail wrist cuff and solid silver (ie not chain) v necklace. I don't want to be motorcycle boot and leather cuff stompy, but I still want something that makes my stride longer.

Last night I took a hot bath and did range-of-motion exercises with my head and it was much better. I could move my head almost as much as an uninjured me. But this morning my neck was all tight again, so I bought a neck heating pad (the kind you stick in a microwave).

I'm wearing it now. Heat is nice.

DJ those nails are adorable. Mine are naked right now. Must do them today.

I think both outfits sound cute. I on the other hand will just be wearing my regular old clothes since all I have is office hours today and then it's running errands.
