We all win.</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">Which reminds me...in college, I had two roommates who made up a card game called Pearls. The rules changed every time it was played, but it didn't matter because they the whole point of the game was to unexpectedly, at some point, throw the entire deck of cards up in the air and/or at the person's head and shout at him/her as loudly as possible, "YOU WIN! YOU WIN! YOU WIN!"</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">Maybe you had to be there. Actually, no, no you didn't.

The sheer number of amateur male acappella groups, 100% of whom specialized in busting out the song "Woooooah...for the longest time" whilst winking and grinning and expecting us females to swoon as though we hadn't heard that exact same song about 4 minutes ago in another dorm hall.</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">Ah, dorm halls.

Which is why my legs are 12 times larger than they should be and there are floating bare elbows and the sun is shining on my torso but nowhere else. Heh. Weird. But...I never claimed to be otherwise.

Perfect.</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">I tell you this only to say: I'm sorry I've been M-I-A this weekend.

It's <a href="http://www.modlychic.com/2011/07/friend-friday-the-outfit-formula.html" target="blank">Friend Friday</a>! Forgive my brief answers...I'm on my way to a family BBQ & fireworks. Today's topic is: my personal uniform, slash, outfit formula.  </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>1. What’s your go-to outfit formula?</em> Depends on the weather and my mood, really, but for most months out of the year, it's skinny jeans and a shirt. And, who am I kidding, probably a cardigan as well, because I'm ob.SESS.ed with layering. In summer, I like to go for a random skirt and an equally random (although hopefully complementary) shirt. Hopefully I've shaved.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>2. How did you come about this formula?</em> I didn't set about to come up with a formula...these are simply the things that, over time, I've noticed that I grab when in a pinch. So...life? Life made me come up with this formula? Yes, let's go with that.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>3. Do you have different formulas for different occasions in your life? </em>Yes. When I've been pregnant, I went for anything that didn't make me look like a tent. And if it had an elastic waist, all the better. But other than that, I pretty much go by weather and how much bleach I'll be using in my forseeable kid-filled day. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>4. Has it morphed over the years?</em> I wouldn't say "morphed," but I would use the word's second-cousin "transitioned." Jeans-and-tee have been my go-to for years, but now I try to add a pop of something to make the outfit unique. A scarf, a chunky bracelet, a belt, a tuck, a braid. Something.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>5. Which other blogger’s outfit formula would you like to swipe? </em>This is going to sound like a total copout, but I'm being sincere: I wouldn't swipe anyone's, because I wear what works for me in my life and on my body. That's why it's my formula. If I were to swipe someone else's style, it wouldn't work the same for me and would ultimately disappoint me...and embarrass them, if I gave them credit. :) But don't get me wrong--I love many many bloggers' styles! Just, y'know, on the daily...I like to be me.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Friday!<br /><br />p.s.
