short week!

What a strange week- I was only at work for 2 days (after working 27 hours of overtime last week) but man does it ever feel like they were long days anyway!  Maybe because I haven't a hope of catching up for, I don't know, a month or so?!  I ended up staying late tonight anyway...

I was inspired by the EBEW folks to continue polka-dotting through the week.  Yesterday, I finally paired the ruffled plaid with polka dots and I loved it!

Gap ruffled-plaid blouse, Anthropologie Peppered and Striped skirt, H&M maroon tights, black Indigo boots

Then today, keeping with the dots, I went for some all-out colour, to distract from the misery that is the rainy, slushy outside world (why does ma nature always follow a generous heap of snow with rain, rain, rain, thus ensuring that where it ain't slick and iced over there shall be foot-deep puddles?

Anthropologie Button-Back blouse, J Crew 'neon olive' cardigan and Nightfall pencil skirt, Chie Mihara teal bow shoes

The rainy, slushy world must mean it`s my birthday week,  yup... I don't know if the sun ever shines on March 9, but for slush lovers it`s a bonanza!  And come to think of it, maybe my over-consumption of birthday Froot Loops (a tradition going way, way back) may have had some influence on the polka-dotting and bright colours!  Time to top-up my supply- the week isn`t over yet!!

Speaking of which, I caved to the allure of my first B-Day discount card from Anthro and cleared out my wishlist with a few colourful, spring-y popbacks :

Roses in the Rain shirt, Cockatoo Kaleidoscope skirt, Amhara skirt
