Day 9: Sunday, Previously the Day of Rest

In a perfect world, Sunday is the day you sleep in, make pancakes, read the paper, watch Food Network, and just generally laze about.

In my world, Sunday is the day I get my shit together. I have developed an unhealthy habit of waiting until Sunday to do all the work that is due Monday, rather than spacing it out over my weekend. Every Friday, I tell myself that on Saturday I will begin to hack into the iceberg that is my homework pile, and every weekend Saturday comes and I completely avoid doing any type of work. Instead, Sunday is usually a frenzied, stressful day that finds me holed up in the library with my laptop and a pile of textbooks.

This past Sunday was no exception, and when I regretfully arose to head off to the library, creating a perfect outfit was the furthest thing from my mind. But then, I remembered this blog and my promise to successfully write and wear a different outfit for every day in October and I came up with this:

As you can probably tell, this outfit was extremely comfortable. I completely disregarded all civil notions to wear actual pants (which I feel is something that every person needs to do at least once in their life) and slipped on leggings instead. Don't worry, they wear thick enough that I didn't look scandalous!

As for the the top, I wore a black cami and then the blue top is another article of clothing from the friend who had lived overseas and didn't want any of her clothes. She is bit bigger than I am, but I think that works for this particular top, because then it is a bit long and I can wear it with the leggings, and it is baggy and comfortable. 

I usually wear this top on "lazy days", but you could also make it a bit less casual by wearing it with straight-leg jeans. 

The boots make their umpteenth appearance, completing the outfit, and voila! A lazy (but cute), I-have-put-off-my-homework-and-now-must-work-my-ass-off outfit. 

My life lesson is that you shouldn't procrastinate. I can't really relate that back to fashion, but I believe that it is valuable advice nonetheless.
