Tartan

It got dark before I finally got dressed and dragged myself out for a late dinner. So sorry for the indoor photos. But also, get used to it because winter’s a comin’, the days are shorter, and there will be more! I’m obviously still tinkering with indoor lighting (such a pain) but hopefully I’ll iron out the major kinks with my usual aplomb (and yes, I have been waiting to use that in a sentence for days now).

I bought this blouse recently at Connecticut’s own Clinton Crossing outlet store (great deals, nice shops) and took it to my recent conference in Dallas. In about two weeks I head to Denver for the North American Conference on British Studies (this time I’m talking about elite women seeing their positions as heiresses, landowners, and estate managers as sources of honor for them – the dissertation road show continues!) and I will definitely be packing this top. Toss on a blazer for day time conferencing and then take it off for relaxed cocktails in the evening … it’s a winner.
