Mega Monday

Inspiration Monday, Style Imitating Art, and tomorrow marks Section 391's 1st birthday! Wowzers! I'm going to veer away from "Would You Wear That Wednesday" this week to do a retrospective of my first year of postings as "What I Wore Wednesday." Should be interesting to see how (or if) my style has evolved over this past year!

And now for the inspiration pieces.

Here's Inspiration Monday:


And here's Style Imitating Art:


This is my summer interpretation of Inspiration Monday. I went for a loose green top and fitted lighter bottoms since it was 90 something here today! I don't love sleeveless tops on me, so I skipped the sleeveless action today. Also, it kind of reflects the colors in the SIA picture with the muted tones. We can even pretend like the silver sandals reflect my outfit like the water at the bottom of the painting...can't we? This was one of the better pictures of the outfit's colors, even though my head was turned (yelling at the puppy, naturally).

This puppy has been testing my patience lately...

Mega Monday can also refer to that pile of laundry behind me. Yikes!
And, as a bonus picture, here's my new staff directory shot with my library behind me. My eyes didn't look so closed on the camera preview, and I think my hair looks a little funky here, but I needed an updated picture since my other one was five years old!


I've gotten three submissions for the librarian linkup already! If you have a look you'd like to submit, email it to me by Wednesday evening, or come back on Friday and use the linky-majig. I had grand aspirations of making a super sweet icon for it; I still have time, but the odds are looking slimmer! 

Time to go put away some laundry (clearly one of my favorite chores...).

    Awww, I like your staff directory shot! You look nice in mint, due to your olive skin tone. :) And I'm so happy you're participating in SIA -- aren't they fun?!

      Thanks for the compliments! I've heard a couple of times that I have an olive skin tone. Maybe I should see what other colors are flattering. See what I'm learning through blogging! =) SIA is fun! I actually made a posting schedule for the rest of the year (nerd alert!), and I made sure to mark the SIA dates so I could try to participate more often!

      Thanks for the compliments! =) The more I look at the staff shot, the more it grows on me. Thanks for all of the Inspiration Monday ideas; I've got reminders for it on my posting schedule too!

    That's a great look! It looks perfect for the staff directory shot, too.

      Thanks! I actually made our web guy come over and take my picture that day because I liked the outfit so much and I was having a decent hair day! =)

    Such lovely colors! I really like the mint + white color combination, and agree with other commenters (commentators? hmm, that sounds funny) that mint looks good on you! (And your pup, from what we can see of him here, looks super cute! You know I always say that God made puppies so cute because they're so bad! So we can't get THAT angry with them, right? haha).

    By the way, thanks for visiting my blog! :) Very happy to meet you!

      Thanks! I'm not sure what the word is either...comment-y people? Ha ha.

      I love the puppy saying! We might engrave that on his tag LOL

      Happy to meet you too! Thanks for visiting me also! =)
