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.

Did anyone watch last night's Daily Show who can explain to me the position of the guest? She irritated me, but I couldn't parse her arguments into a cohesive whole.

I'd have to buy a whole new wardrobe if I worked anywhere with a dress code. Our office's dress code is that you have to be wearing clothes.

Best. Dinosaur. Name. Ever!

MOJOCERATOPS

They aren't as well done as I'd like them to be, but it was my first pass at it. I may get a different pink for the meat part, thinner on the pearly white layer that gets closer to the rind, then when all of that is completely dry a wet layer of light green and then a thin wet layer of dark green so that they blend better. I also need a black art pen for the seeds.

I would also like to try large, randomly spaced dots like the ones on my dress today.
