End Notes:

I’m returning my first round of graded quizzes to my students today, and I needed a look that says, “I graded fairly and I am not a pushover.” A neutral with a pop of color seemed to fit the bill. I’m taking a cue from A.’s striking pairing of purple and cobalt blue and translating it for our neutrals week challenge, using this rich violet cardigan to add a splash of color to a simple, navy jersey dress. An added bonus? Tying the open cardigan in place with this sash distracts from my increasingly-protruding but not-yet-obviously-pregnant belly.

   I have that same exact cardigan in brown! I had wondered if it would look funny unbuttoned, what with the loops and all, but I love how it looks with the way you have it belted!

   Courtney, I wondered about the same thing but then decided that I liked how the buttons and loops added little bits of detail and interest. Glad you like it too! – e.
