Lissette in plaid

her big dimples and girlish giggles along with the insistence on achieving multiple post-graduate degrees, make for a charming and enthusiastic presence. lissette is tireless, hard-working, and has a love for all things forever 21. seeing her always brightens my morning.

please notice--anything with pockets is cuter than anything without. even if it's plaid.

kristen, one of my favorite co-workers is always so put-together.

she has that tall, elegant frame and wears everything well--boots with capris, tight pants and sweaters, even skirts with POLKA DOTS, which i hate.

i made the mistake of telling her that one day, in the midst of a offhanded and rather backhanded compliment (something to the effect of "i usually hate polka dots, but you pull it off pretty well...").

well, next thing you know, EVERYONE--all 10 people in the office were wearing polka dots on the morning i was back from vacation. it was a wall of human tackyness--i was seeing spots. she had coordinated a "welcome back, shelia" day. buncha smart alecks. couldn't help it--i snort-laughed for 10 minutes straight.

here she is in 1) animal print and her favorite watch, and then 2) head to toe black. she's so sleek and chic.
and despite the garish lighting, she's just so gorgeous.
