Outfit log: Black & White & Coral, Take 2!

I was about to title today's post "Black & White & Coral," but that sounded a bit too familiar. And then I realized it was because I titled a post exactly that back in November.

  • thrifted necklace
  • theory blazer via tjmaxx
  • maxstudio skirt via outlet
  • born "bitsy" boots
  • thrifted bangles
  • anthro tunic (tucked in)
  • lookmatic "dane" glasses
This is the same coral tunic as I wore in the aforementioned post, though styled a bit differently. I (obviously) love a pop of coral against black and white; it's like midpoint between red and fuchsia, which we all know make fantastic color pops!

In other news... I just gave my employer my two weeks' notice yesterday. Eep! Don't worry; I have a new job lined up in a great new direction... still in reproductive health, just more on the research/policy side of things instead of clinical. Also... it's in Oakland! Which is where I live! I've been commuting to SF from Oakland for the last five freaking years, and I am ridiculously ecstatic about adding more time to my life and saving hella money on public transit. My ultimate plan is to get a bicycle and be chic as shit on it and ride it to work every day (it's like 30 flat blocks between my apartment and the new gig). The only thing I'm worried about (other than hating my new job or not liking my coworkers) is helmet hair. How do you chic-as-shit cyclers prevent this?!

Congrats!! I was hoping to hear this news soon! And to live close to your job will make all the difference to your life! As for helmet hair? Just fluff it up. And get a cute helmet. Or just walk around with the attitude of "yeah. I ride."

Ahh, how exciting for you! Hell yeah rock out on the bike, they're the best (aside from sometimes-frightening motorists who don't know how bikes are supposed to operate in traffic...). I can't give you any tips on helmet hair because I usually just wet down my shorty-short hair when I get into work, but maybe you can kind of do that to the top if it gets rumpled/flattened out?
