And I wear the same pieces all weekend. Lately, my weekend pieces have been this skirt and top, plus floral maxi skirt, nude tank, jeans and as-of-yet-unblogged stripey tank.

Yeah, it's because it's so humid out that my lens kept fogging up and I had to wipe it off between every picture. The jacket is necessary for my very air conditioned office, but after being outside in it for 10 minutes, the lining literally stuck to my skin. You guys, it's humid here.

<br /><div>But I DO like that I just got a new job! I've been hired as Public Affairs Associate by Planned Parenthood of South Florida! It's so very exciting. Not only do I get to leave my stinky current job that I hate, I get to go do something meaningful and important with a group of people I really like. It's kind of a win win win win situation. Full of win! See goofy jumping picture below for a graphical expression of my excitement. </div><div>

Last night included grilling, laughing, cake & pie, so much beer (that I didn't drink any of...way to hot for me to drink anything without ice), and walking to two of our favorite bars. This morning so far has been iced tea & west wing. Soon we're relocating to a diner for brunch. We'll miss you Sam! Law school is lucky to have you!</div>S.

<br /><div>After the movie we popped into Old Navy so I could get a white skirt, which my mom insisted I have to wear in Key West next weekend. I never argue with shopping! And I think it will be a good thing to have, it's SO HOT in the Keys in the summer.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>Point being, I took these pictures in the fitting room at Old Navy because it was raining and was getting dark anyway, so no nice outside pictures today.</div><div>

About an hour later I realized I was crazy for spending that much on something when I had just bought new tires (ugh) and am trying to save money. So I went back to Marshall's to return the bag and meandered into the dress department, where I found this dress. It cost $19.99 and I bought it. And I'm keeping it.</span></div><div>

<br /><div>I felt kind of French and kind of chic in this outfit, although I also felt kind of scandalous wearing an over-the-knee skirt to work. In a place where 90% of the women wear black pants every day, I like standing out. And knees? They stand out. (Actually, I don't know if anyone even cared, by in my mind I pretended they thought, "oh she's so young so she can wear such a short skirt and it's OK.")</div><div>
