International Wear A Dress A Day Week + Celebrate the Newly-Painted Office Corner Week

Having just completed Jane's Second Annual Capsule Wardrobe Challenge with rather unadventurous results, I jumped right onto the International Wear A Dress A Day Week bandwagon for last week. I also designated it as Celebrate the Newly-Painted Office Corner week, a correlation that becomes obvious in some of these photos. I bet you can't guess what one of my favorite colors is?

Monday:





I purchased this cuff from Etsy artist/crafter TrilbyMade, totally stealing Erin's style. ;-)

Tuesday:


The ladder-matching was totally unplanned, I swear.





Wednesday:





Thursday:





Friday:






I LOVED Wear A Dress A Day Week, can't you tell?

But in truth, the outfit I have worn the most over the past few weeks looks a bit more like this, the painting/cleaning grubbies I keep at work:


The costume build for the next show is unusually small so far, so my students and I have been tackling some costume shop improvement projects that I've had on my wishlist for years. We finished painting the laundry/dye room this week, and I decided I really should clean and repair the laundry vent before we put everything back. This was perhaps the grossest project I have ever tackled in my five-plus years at this job. Should you ever decide to clean out your dryer ventilation pipe... you've been warned!

I'd consider doing a "Celebrate the Newly-Painted Laundry/Dye Room" week, but I don't own very much lime green.

  6. What a great bunch of outfits! I love your attention to detail in your accessories, especially that glorious necklace and flower belt.

    I adore turquoise and browns together - do you ever add a bit of orange or red to pop off it? It looks fab.

    Thank you so much for commenting on my blog! :)

  8. Does your ladder not have one of those "Do not stand or sit above this step!" warnings?
