7.) Analogous: Purple

I own a lot of purple things, not on purpose, it’s just a color I look good in that I like so I buy it a lot. Today a stranger (by stranger I mean cashier at Panera Bread who takes my order several times a week because I forget to pack (read: don’t feel like packing) a lunch for work. I can either look cute or eat cheap, I am not the type of lady who is capable of both) asked ‘Gee you always look so cute, do you just dress up for fun or do you work in an office?’

And I said ‘Oh thanks! But yeah I work in an office.’ I did not mention I was participating in a 30 items for 30 days for my ‘style blog’ because that is a weird thing to say to ‘regular people’. While it is always nice to receive a complement all I was really thinking was ‘Loren you need to stop eating here 95 times a week.’


Please excuse the mega winkles in my skirt & shirt. My iron and I are not on speaking terms.

    that’s a nice purple outfit, with a gorgeous belt. So nice when you make an effort to dress up and people take notice and compliment you. I think you should go to Panera Bread everyday..haha

      I seriously have to stop myself from putting on this belt basically every day.

    You really do cute. I love that wide belt with the purple skirt. And I’d probably eat there 95 times a week too if I could!

      One of the pluses to working a ‘boring’ office job is the proximity to Panera and the small amount of expendable income that lets me eat there whenever I want.

    1 – I think we have the same belt. And it looks great with that skirt! Love it.
    2 – Own what you do! I love telling people I’m a style blogger…and I’m not even sure I’ve earned that right because I’ve only been doing it a few months, but I say it anyway. Love what you do :)
    3 – Those earrings are rad.

    Oh and itemized comment item number 4:

    I hear they keep offices cold to increase productivity, i.e. keep you from falling asleep. But all that it does for me is make my fingers too frigid to type properly. No fun!

      I can’t type as fast when I have to keep blowing on my fingers to warm them up!
