Thank goodness for Sesame Street.  Hubs wasn't feeling well this morning, so he slept in, and I took Bridget to daycare.  Unfortunately, I didn't wake up any earlier than usual, so I was rushing around the house trying to get things ready for the day and made it out the door over a half hour later than usual.  Oh well!  Luckily, once I fed Bridget, she was perfectly content to watch Sesame Street while I made bottles and finished getting myself ready.

This week is Child Appreciation Week at daycare, and the theme is Out of This World.  Today, we were encouraged to dress our children in wacky clothes.  In keeping with the "out of this world" idea, I added these pants, which kind of look constellation-ish, to her rock n roll tutu ensemble.

Since today was Everybody, Everywear Maxi day in the style blogging world, it was pretty easy picking out my clothes this morning.  However, safety pinning my maxi dress to resemble a midi skirt for work proved a little more challenging.  My first couple attempts left one side slightly longer than the other, but I finally got it together.

Maxi Dress (worn as a skirt): Wet Seal; Top: Old Navy; Trench Coat: New York & Company; Shoes and Sunglasses: Payless; Belt: Kohl's (off of another shirt); Necklace: gift 

I also tried out Sydney's bun tutorial.  I often wondered how people got such cute, full buns, and it's pretty much just a matter of back-combing like crazy.  I like the height of my bun, but I think next time, I'd try to make it a little wider.  And tame the flyaways.  And bobby pin the back more.

After work, I did a quick change in the car, spotted a bright sunny spot on the top level of the parking garage, and took a couple pictures before heading off to pick up Bridget and run errands.
