Diana, part deux

Diana wanted the Rat and I to come visit her closet.  We did, and as we took every single article off of the bar and flung them around the room I was wondering what the hell we had started.  But then I got that giddy, euphoric feeling that happens when I am in the midst of a fashion/wardrobe transformation and giggled to myself as we began to filter through her clothes.  Diana has a great wardrobe.  I don't think she realized how great it actually was until we left, but she has some vibrant fun pieces that are good building blocks to a fashionista's dream wardrobe.  We showed her ways to mix things up and what would work with what (and YES, she did think we were crazy a few times).  So imagine my ABSOLUTE DELIGHT when she walked into my cube just now and had put together her own take on an outfit!  Our baby was walking!!!  Here she is!  Look at that sassiness!

Diana looked so shocked when I came over to snap her picture.  Perhaps it was because I didn't say anything?  Anyways, I noticed at lunch how snazzy she looked with the grey/black/blue color scheme.  I have always had a thing for blue velvet and I blame my mother for that.  She had a stunning Laura Ashley blue velvet dress when I was about 7 or 8, and god I wish I could have worn that just once!  So maybe that's why I am in love with the blue velvet blazer that Diana is rocking today.  Or maybe it's the ruching around the neckline of her grey tee? Whatever, she's cute.
