So I don't know what's been going on, but I haven't shown a skirt or a dress on the blog in over a month. I also realized I've worn maybe one skirt to work in the two months I've been at the new job. I think it may be a little subconscious - for the first time in my working life, my office is primarily guys. It's a tech startup, and out of the fifty or sixty employees there are less than ten women. I think that maybe I was trying not to go too girly on all of the men. Now, that is a very silly reason to ignore the skirt and dress section of my closet and it seems a little anti-feminist to me, so I've been trying to make it a point to wear more of them lately.

I actually think this might be a front runner to wear next week for Thanksgiving. It's a little dressed up but not overly so (our Thanksgivings are usually pretty casual) and something about the plaid and green feels festive. Thanksgivings are always a little crazy for me - this year I'm going to two on Thanksgiving Day, plus another lunch the day after Thanksgiving and a fancy party on Saturday night so I actually need to come up with a couple of things to wear. Having a style blog is actually pretty handy in that way, whenever I can't think of something to wear I just flip back through the archives to find something I like.

Do you plan out your outfits in advance like me, or are you more of a spur of the moment gal?
