Tied Up

I know this outfit has a lot going on, but I love it.  It seems like a fitting visual metaphor for work this week, where I also have a lot going on.  It is also fitting that it is tied up and wild!  A nice, crazy outfit like this can make me smile during a hectic day. 

I need something to carry me through today, and it's not sleep.  I couldn't fall asleep until after midnight last night, and I woke up at 5:30 this morning with a headache.  I finally admitted defeat at 6:30 when I realized sleep was not returning.  Caffeine and crazy outfit to the rescue!*

Apparently I like posing on one foot.  I embrace my inner flamingo.  Whee!

 

 * After seeing the pictures, this outfit is not nearly as crazy as I thought it was.  Hopefully it will still get me through the day.
