October Already?

Can you believe it's October already? Egads, Stylenation, where did September go?  Apologies for the terrible photo today.  I had just enough time to take 3 pictures this morning before scampering off to catch my 7:45 train.  It was still a little dark out (how is it already that time of year??) and, as I've mentioned before, the lighting in our apartment is pretty awful.  I'm going headless today because, frankly, my 7am look isn't too hot.  And, as A-Dubs pointed out to me, headless photos are so much easier!  They really are.  So that, and  my cup of coffee, make this an A-Dubs tribute photo (it's a little too early for wine, even by my standards).

You'll note this outfit is almost totally lacking in accessories.  There's enough sparkle between the sweater and the tank that I thought adding anything else would just be overload.  Even my coffee cup is plain and boring so as not to detract from the rest of the ensemble.  And what can you pair with sequins anyway?

This month, I'm participating in Blogging for Breast Cancer aWEARness over at A Working Mom's Closet.  We all, no doubt, know someone who has been affected by breast cancer.  My grandma and my assistant-turned-friend at work have both fought and beat breast cancer within the past few years, so I always keep them in mind come October.  This challenge is to wear something pink every day (or in my case, every day that I blog).  At first I thought this might be difficult for me, because if you asked me, my favorite colors are blue and green, far cries from pink.  But when I noticed that today's outfit is just the inverse of Tuesday's outfit, and that I wore some variation of pink and grey yesterday (and burgundy and black on Wednesday), well, it seems I like pink more than I thought.  Which I say while listening to my hot pink iPod with black and pink headphones, and sipping out of my pink water bottle.  Who knew?

Anyway, have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!
