New Beginnings

This is my Monday outfit.  It was my second day participating in Blogging for Breast Cancer aWEARness, although the only piece of pink in this outfit is the pink brooch.  One nice thing about this outfit is that it's mostly remixed, which I do a lot, but it never seems to happens on days that I'm actually blogging.

Edited to add:
I haven't mentioned this before, but things at my job have been kind of strange as of late.  In July, we were told that our company was bought.  The sale was finalized at the close of business on Friday, so as of yesterday, I was working for a whole new company.  I'm very thankful to still have a job (but to be fair, they haven't had to "reduce redunancies" yet, or whatever the corporate term for that is), and it's likely that I'll survive any lay-offs since only 5 people in my company do my job, and the new company doesn't do our work at all.  I guess there's something to be said for being highly specialized.  But it's pretty weird to think that the company that hired me when I was new to Chicago and had my shiny new Bachelor's degree and no experience, the only company that gave me a chance, doesn't exist anymore.  But, such is business in this economy.

I won't be posting an outfit again until Friday.  I'm working from home today and Thursday, and tomorrow I'm volunteering with Habitat for Humanity through work, and there's nothing stylish about that :)

Have a nice week, Stylenation!
