This is what I wore to work on Friday:
I'm not totally sure what was going through my mind when I put this on. I think it was hot out, so I decided to go with a skirt, and somehow the rest evolved (big skirt --> small shirt --> skinny sweater; skirt --> high boots; workday --> flat (vs. heeled) boots). I realized when looking back on it that this is a really juvenile outfit for me; all the components are college relics except the boots (which are fantastic finds from Zara that people compliment every time I wear them!). I think the subconscious theme going through my mind was wanting to rebel a bit against the sweaterdress-and-belt uniform that most ladies at work wear. I also love wearing this shirt because it was the first thrift-store find, long ago, that I cut up and resized for myself. Despite going against the grain a little, I actually really liked wearing this to work. I think this is proof that what-everyone-wears isn't necessarily necessary to comply with, and also that wearing something you have a connection to can make you feel good no matter what.

Dude, did I give you that skirt (perhaps in one of our many clothing swaps)? Because I totally used to have that skirt, but had completely forgotten about it until seeing your post. Weird.
