Bright yellow or red cardigans will always remind me of Mr. Rogers.  I fondly remember the how-it's-made segments on Picture Picture and thought it was pretty rad he had a traffic light in his kitchen.

Happy Pi Day!

UPDATE 2012/03/22: Just like Chuck Norris facts, there are now #MrRogersFacts! Enjoy! (:

In order to avoid the inevitable hustle and bustle of Valentine's day, we opted for a Monday morning brunch instead.  I've only been here on the weekend before, so it was refreshing to be able to order one of the weekday specials!  As a bonus, I was excited to wear my creation from our little bracelet making party.

I'm documenting this shirt for the challenge - even though this is a just a lowly t-shirt, I love the saying on it!  It's both a great metaphor for a positive outlook and a good summary of precisely how I walked to class in college.

Bonus - this weekend we had a wrap bracelet making party!

I wear earring backs with every earring, even fish hooks.  After losing one too many earrings to fidgeting in class or even a windy day, I've decided they are a must.  So, it's always a pleasant surprise to find a pair in which the humble earring back takes front stage.

Bonjour!

I'd abandoned this blazer for nearly 4 years* after I stopped interviewing with corporate America.  Now, twice in one week?  This might be the best comeback so far in my challenge.

I bought these earrings a long time ago to go with some heinous army green sandals (also with Chinese coins) that I bought while studying abroad.  I left those shoes behind several moves ago and I don't miss them at all.

When in a rush I'll fall back on one of two things - black or leopard print.  Or both!  What are your fallbacks?
