Know what I did today?

I wore a bunch of bling.

I never wear a bunch of bling.

I decided to wear this outfit that I've been called "exotic looking" in. It's just a purple top with gold and pink (floral) but it apparently plays well with my olive skin, and hazel eyes that I pair with dark rinse skinny jeans. And then, because of the gold in the shirt, I was like, what if I put on this gold necklace my mom gave me as a teen, which then led to adding prominent gold large hoop earrings, which then led to "I wonder if the rings my sister gave me when I was a teen still even fit me 30 pounds heavier than I was then..." (they do, just not on the same fingers I once wore them on).

When I had a meeting with my boss today, the first thing she said to me was "What's going on? What are you doing? I've never seen you like this, a necklace, earrings, rings. It looks beautiful but what's going on?"

I said "Nothing, just felt like it this morning."

She followed by saying, "But you never do this, all these years, you never do this."

So I said "Well, yeah, because I'm not a fuckin princess."
(We laughed and moved on)

Breaking my predictably was okay. Just gonna keep it simple tomorrow, though. I can only bling so much. Gotta razzle dazzle in other ways. ✨️💜✨️

@Wallflower "You never do this."

"Oh, that was 'work from home' Wallflower. This is the new, 'Mandatory Office Presence' Wallflower."

@EdCates
Oh no
If they come back with the enforcement of this bullshit after 20+yrs, I will be the reason the next policy implements a dress code!😂
@Wallflower 😂 😂 That's the spirit!
