So today I'm sharing my blogging new year's resolution - to return to posting outfit photos!  Honestly, I never meant to quit.  This fall was so crazy busy that stopping to photograph outfits in the morning (even with my usual 5-minutes-or-less photoshoot) just plain dropped of my radar.  I realized over the holidays that I had really missed documenting my outfits here.  I certainly don't consider myself a fashion blogger (I'm way too awkward for that!), but I enjoy watching my style evolve through time.

Today's to-do list mostly involves running around like crazy and getting ready for the weekend; I'll be heading to Philadelphia for my annual professional conference tomorrow, and staying through Sunday.  Today will be devoted to packing, running errands, getting the animals ready for the pet-sitters, and practicing my presentation over and over (I'm presenting some new research this weekend - wish me luck!).  This simple outfit is perfect for staying comfy while taking care of things around the house, but put-together enough for a trip to school to finish up some work this afternoon.

I highly recommend this hairstyle for days when you don't have time to shower!


Have a great Wednesday!

Just came across your blog, and I love it (I could be biased, though--I have a husband named Nate, too). :) Thank you for sharing!
