I wanted to wear this red polyester secretary dress that I finally got back from the cleaners today to meet Anne and some other lovely ladies (and gents), but the weather is lousy here and there. Plus I still feel a bit sicky, so this is my version of sweat pants: jersey skirt from American Apparel (from a clothing swap) and a comfy tunic top. I like how without a belt it looks kind of like a dropped waist/flapper dress, but I added the belt so the boots would work better. We found this odd lounge area by the waiting area in the terminal.

Also, I am pleased and thrilled to have been given a blog award by the gorgeous and stylish The Waves of No Signposts in the Sea.
