It’s midnight Sunday and it’s nearly time for bed.

I’m wearing: dark blue sweat pants, a medium blue t-shirt, and light blue underwear.

Although were I asked this on the phone my answer would instead be “you know, the usual for kicking back at home. A lacey black teddy, a pair of hip-waders and a beekeeper’s helmet” because that’s a much more interesting mental picture, isn’t it?

Black convertible cargo pants, a belt, grey boxers, a pride bracelet, and earrings in two of my three pierces. And glasses.

It’s a little chilly; I may put my shirt back on.

I’m currently sitting around one of the university’s engineering buildings waiting for my next class.

It’s fairly warm out so I’m wearing anXL Legend of Zelda t-shirt similar to [this one](http://img.engadget.com/common/images/2522853428563728.JPG?0.5761923515141252) but more faded, a pair of jean shorts with lots of pockets, white socks and black Vans with laces that are just a little longer than I like. I have a cheap Timex digital watch on my left wrist and two spare ponytail holders on my right wrist with another one in my hair.

Oh, and my glasses of course.

A black belt with flower cut-outs.  
A silver and turquoise horse charm on a silver chain necklace.  
Black sandal heels.  
A black watch.

At work. It’s 2:39 p.m. here. (Time zone buddies, **gigi**!)

I’m wearing a long black skirt with beige diamond print, a light aqua button up shirt with a black ribbed sweater over it, diamond print sheer knee-highs, high-heeled loafers, black undies, red bra. Ooo, and a ponytail holder and two earrings.

I need to do laundry. These things coordinate, but just barely.

Brown ecco shoes (alternate with Topsiders)

New wire rim trifocals (I’m getting on)

Where I work, this is formalwear.

I’m just heading out to run some errands (yay vacation days!), and I’m wearing Gap [Curvy jeans](http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=15673&pid=380048), which I adore, a white tshirt, dark brown boots, a dark brown bag, an awesome bright orange three quarter trench coat from Target, and a coral and copper necklace.

It might just be me, but the jeans, t-shirt and bare feet sound way sexier than lingerie and stilletos.

I’m wearing a pair of green gym shorts. And glasses.
