This is me in my office. Yes, it is a mess, and no, I didn’t create any of the mess; it was like this when I got here. I share this particular office in the English department with two other young women. I barely see them. Note the crooked shelves and the computer that I don’t use. On my desk is the leather backpack I scored from Etsy at a very reasonable price; it stores way more than it should. I fear for its skinny straps.

I received my “new” camera in the mail today. Unfortunately, it seems to be giving me a semi-regular error message, and I’m afraid of having to return it to the seller. (If anyone out there is a Canon 5D expert, please contact me.) My brain has been hurting lately from all of my late-night writing, so it was a thrill to use a different part of it with picture-taking this morning.

As soon as I exited my apartment, I witnessed the following:

Anyway. What I really meant to talk about in this post was my gray uniform as of late. Gala Darling spoke recently of the fall-to-winter uniform, and I’ve hit upon mine. Take any vintage dress. Throw over it a Dunderson gray cardigan-dress. Wear tights or leggings. Wrap a scarf around your neck. Voila! Considering how little sleep I’ve been getting lately, having a gray uniform is a rather lovely concept for getting dressed in ten minutes or less.

I am sorry about the camera — it seemed such a good plan! Maybe contact the seller to ask about the error message? They owned it, so maybe they know how it works?

I love your uniform! I’ll post mine soon too. Mine is for some inexplicable reason very blue based.
