I enjoy days like today when I go to a breakfast meeting (free breakfast) and a lunch meeting (free lunch) and out for a networking event (free food and beer.) It was a productive day despite being out of the office most of the day. I worked on revising my business plan. Each staff person at our office works on developing a business plan with measurable goals/objectives we hope to achieve within one year. At least one of these objectives has to be professional development. My supervisor challenged me to pretty much get off my ass and push myself–I was reminded that successful PR practitioners have overcome fears of public speaking. In order for me to grow into future leadership positions I need to be able to communicate clearly and effectively and be somewhat persuasive. I feel so energized now that I accepted the fact that I NEED to improve and there are so many ways for me to begin to work on this. Time to do more speeches and presentations!
Since it was a little cooler today, I took this as an opportunity to wear my big ol’ grey scarf perhaps one last time before it gets too warm.

A typical face of mine.
Now back to editing a TON of photos for a senior portrait session and the wedding from this past weekend!
Love this outfit! That scarf looks so comfy. I want one!
I'm looking for a leather jacket right now, hoping to find one on sale since they're about to be out of season! haha!

Love that skirt!!!
haha, love the funny face (and the shoes!)
Free food always makes a day so much better. haha
Your "big ol' scarf" is too great. Those shoes on you are always a win as well. haha Love the last photo. Only you could get away with that and still look good!
Those shoes are amazing! I am a sucker for a good purple shoe :]
Love Mulberry so I was curious about the title.
I wanted a big scarf like that but then winter was already over T-T I saw people wearing them in the snow in Finland and for the first time in -20 degree weather wished I still lived there so I could wear a big scarf! Here in California it's not only redundant but also too eyecatching. People stare at you like maybe you're homeless cause you're wearing so much. Or you have swine flu.
I like your skirt also, how it's high waist! XD
Ooooh, love that scarf โฅ
Cute shoes! I would kill to have your shoe wardrobe. You take such good care of them!
That skirt is fantastic!
HAhaha these pictures are awesome… you're sooo pretty! Love the outfit! ๐

That scarf is one of my favorite things from your closet. Also, I love the cut of that skirt, gorgeous!
nice blog
love this outfit! The scarf is amazing! I want your purse!!
I was a speech communication major and even for me sometime it can be so nerve racking doing presentations. However, it is true the more you do the easier it gets! ๐
Yay for feeling energized with respect to work! And the skirt is amazing on you. Definitely your cut.
I am IN LOVE with your scarf! I wanted one like it all winter and never found one! So much jealousy!!
