How I've worn the top before: here.

Please forgive me if my presence seems lacking on your blogs and the rest of the Internet -- I am still under the weather. I slept so soundly for 12 hours on Monday, that by the time I woke up mid-afternoon I wanted to make up for "wasting" my day and I begged Jeremiah to take me out. Taking me out consisted of trips to the bookstore and the library so I could read some of the latest magazines and photography books. What can I say, I'm a pretty easygoing date.

I made an effort to not feel sick by dressing up, and I took these photos on the steps of the campus chapel building. I wore this outfit last Friday and decided to repeat it Monday because I loved it so much. It's a bit Annie Hall, isn't it? Remember my bow as a brooch in this outfit? I simply moved it further up my blouse and made it look like a bow tie. No safety pins were needed -- I just shoved the barrette holder into the buttonhole and then buttoned as usual (it also helped that the buttonhole was big enough to allow that). I feel like this is a quintessential fall outfit, what with the colors and plaid and all.

What do you wear on your sick days?
