I haven't really started Christmas shopping yet, and yes, I'm panicking about that.

I kind of have to put in an appearance at my work party tomorrow. I'm planning to wear a gray dress. Would teal tights and purple shoes be too much business on top and party on the bottom? Teal tights and a metallic heel?

The purple shoes are a dark suede, and look a bit boring with black tights.

I'd say teal and purple. But I should admit that, if I didn't wear a lot of gray, I'd maybe channel the Joker. Still, I think it'd work. Green things (I don't want to say "teal") and purple things totally contrast in a good way.

I would just add something bright or a little funky up top, like earring or necklace or scarf.

Good on you, Matt. I am done with shopping, but contemplating a mall trip anyway. I don't think I can make it worthwhile to risk the murderous rage. I think just the trip to the area, which is unavoidable, is high enough risk.

I have jewelry that goes with the outfit, and a scarf as well, come to think of it. Thanks for validating my choices, you guys!

I was going to say accessories, but Amy beat me to it.

I'm all keyed up when I really need to be sleeping. Cannot sleep.

I went for this for my mother. I'm not a green-wearer, but it looked pleasant and relaxing.

I hope it flies.

That actually looks nice and quite comfy.

Haha, we can hope. But it's no big deal in the grand scheme of things. Surely I'm not the only girl to unawares kiss a boy with a girlfriend. I suppose I'll ask him if I see him again in the near future - like I said, I don't see him much with our schedules, so I just took advantage of a VERY rare evening off to see if he wanted to hang out. No big deal, though! I just make everything in my life excessively melodramatic.

Awww, wolf cub nurtured by a rottweiler. Look at them howling together!
