What's On Your Thursday Menu, RNYers?

Hello from the pouring rain!  LOL  Just as I was stepping out of the house this morning the skies opened on me and my million things I carry to work every day.  I look like a drowned rat, for real.  I didn't even have an umbrella in the car or the house because they were at work.  Both of them.  LOL   Oh well.  Hey, guess what!  I found another pair of khaki crop pants and black shirt in my pile of old clothes.  I'm not going to resume project black and tan, but I am rocking my standard uniform today.  It's just a little wet.  LOL

B:  coffee, black bean burger, slive of Velveeta and a HB egg

L:  Buffalo chicken salad with celery sticks and a cheese stick

S:  34 degree crackers with Laughing Cow

D:  Breakfast for dinner, my fave!  I'm having a single pancake that I diligently worked into my menu because I love pancakes.  Also some turkey bacon and an over easy egg.

Who's next?

I recently read an article about creating a "work uniform." I don't mean like a uniform that is required...now I can't find the link, damnit, but it's about a woman who works for some magazine and wears black pants and a white collared shirt with this little leather bow tie thing every single day. Her office did a Dress Like _____ day once and the pictures were hilarious. I don't know that I could take it so far as to wear the exact same thing, but I do like the idea of like black pants/white shirt and just having them in different styles and that's your entire combo. Think how easy getting dressed could be!

When I bought my new work wardrobe I didn't stay that simple, but I do love that it's very mix and match, I have so many combos with now too many pieces.

I honestly have no idea how I ended up with so many pairs of khakis and black shirts.  I guess I am drawn to them like a moth to a flame.  LOL

I know the article! I think it's this one:

Great read! 

My work uniform is whatever I slept in ****il about noon or if I have to go somewhere).

Then again, my alarm is set for 7:55am in order for me to clock in at 8! The joys of being a telecommuter - I don't miss putting on makeup, picking up dry cleaning, wearing pantyhose. I'm a much happier person now!

I saw that on facebook a few months back, the story talked about the stress reduction aspect of it. 

Good morning. I have to say my clothes usually consist of a long skirt and a boat neck t-shirt from old navy. I like them because I can dress them up or just be casual. I hate shorts. I only like to wear them if I am on the beach or out on the boat.

L:Yogurt

D:Steak

S:Not sure. 

I am so excited to see my son today. Just for a few hours but that's okay. 

Water is going down and vitamins are in. 

Have a great day.

I REALLY don't have a standard uniform, especially now!  I just clobber together whatever the heck fits at the moment.  THANKFULLY I have a job that I don't have a "dress code", I mean things have to be clean with no rips or anything, but I can wear like leggings and tee shirts!  PHEW
