d. all of the above



2. The Veronica Mars finale was

a. kinda anticlimactic

5. You're going to have a very long day next Friday during which you're going to 1. attend a breakfast for book authors, 2. meet with editors, booksellers, librarians, and fans while signing copies of Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy, and 3. attend a fun dinner and auction, but at no point during the day will you have a free moment to change clothes.

You're going to be on your feet and possibly in a highly-air conditioned environment.

What do you wear? (And you'd rather not wear what you wore on Wednesday.)


a. White blouse and navy skirt
b. Black skirt and shirt and jacket (not pictured)
c. navy jacket and skirt
d. navy jacket and white skirt




Study hard, and answer well, my friends. My entire career (not to mention the state of my feet in a week) may very well be in your hands!

ps. I only really care about the answers to #s 4 and 5 by the way.


pps. I should probably also say that I have comfy shoes for all outfits

ppps. And I should point out that the white blouse outfit probably photographed best and the black outfit probably looks better in person (and on) than it does in the picture.


pppps. And looking at those pictures really makes me want to get new carpet.

I'd vote for outfit A if it weren't such a long event. For the marathon you have planned, I'd definately go with B. The boat neck shirt looks comfy, yet fashionable. ;)

A and B look pretty. You'll look great in either so wear what feels the most comfortable and have fun!

Regarding question 4, I like (a). I have a feeling you like (c), however, if your description is any indication.

Here's a question: if you had to watch security camera footage of yourself holding up a convenience store night after night on the prison television during your highly-publicized show trial, what would you wish you had worn, apart from a ski mask?

well, ALL of the outfit choices are really pretty, but I'm kinda partial to option A (the ah-dorable white blouse and cute navy skirt)for question number 4 and 5. Good thing you have comfortable shoes that go with whatever outfit you end up choosing, that’s a full day you're gonna have! :)

I also like the first outfit pictured. But they're all lovely. And I don't think you need new carpet.

I like A and D. I think the boatneck is too casual for the evening thing on Friday. THe skirts are all foxy! I am wearing a wrap dress with flat sandals and a cardigan.

I have to go home in the afternoon anyway so am changing for evening.

we are the same table for breakfast

I say D for Wednesday and A for Friday. A is by far my overall favorite.

Honestly, for #4 I'm liking option number A and for #5 I think you should go for option A or D for #5.

d for #3 and d for 4

Outfits a or d are definitely your best bets, so wear one for your first event and the other for your second.
As for the Veronica Mars finale...ugh. What end? There was no end. It was just...over. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they decide to run the FBI take-off. What would I do without all that sassiness on Tuesday nights?

Ally! You have the cutest clothes!!! I am totally jealous now!

Hmm, now that I think about it...I have no opinion in the matter of Clothes To Wear. Cuz, frankly, they all look prety darn snappy.

Have fun!
