Work Outfit Challenge - Day 91.

It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack, that's what I said, needle in a haystack do, do, do (are these even the words?!) ... All I can see myself doing today is staring at spreadsheets full of transactions trying to find out where our missing transactions are I whinged about yesterday.

This is the Moss and Spy skirt I said I might wear to the races on the weekend but it just didn't look right - today teamed with my latest and greatest vintage blouse (snapped up for $2) I think it looks pretty schmick.

I'm wearing one of my highest pair of heels today ... I love them but barely wear them because they are just so high. I've bought a pair of trusty flats to keep me going all day.

Hair is al-la-natural today and I suppose it looks okay ... Oh, and did you see my vintage earrings? You might recognise them from our engagement shoot.

And does anyone actually know how this tie this is supposed to work? I've just placed the longer bit through the loop and let it hang. I can't see that it should be tied in to a bow or anything.

Pondering the white on white challenge for next week.

Oh, and before I forget, one of my lovely readers Kate decided to point out to me that in six months of this year I have only worked 90 days. Doesn't sound like much does it? Well the boy and I decided to do a bit of math last night to figure out how this is so.

Days in 6 months - approx 180.

  • Take 2 days per week out for the weekends = 2d x 4 weeks per month x 6 months = 48 days
  • Minus 1 day per month for a rostered day off = 1d x 6 months = 6 days
  • Take much loved public holidays out = about 5 days
  • Minus some annual leave days = about 5 days
  • Throw in a sick day here or there = about 3 days
  • Add in days left in June = 22 days

Days worked = 91

I'm all square! It's so nice to work in such a flexible workplace.

Happy humping.

Over and Out

XOXO
