I can't help but check here. It all feels very bittersweet - in an era of short attention spans to have been here so long with all of you. What a great place.

OMG am I able to squeeze in one more office outfit? 

Thar she blows! Lil Leopard Shooz, Black standard pants (Express) Boatneck, dolman sleeve sweater/top. Kind of a snore. Would have rather gone out with a bang, but instead you get this whimper. LOL
