TBMD

There are some outfits, no matter how simple, that you just feel absolutely confident in. Today's is such an example. Keeping the color palette classic (grays/browns/blacks), accessories to a minimum (a bag counts, right?), and choosing something with an interesting enough detail (twisted top), and voila! An outfit that I will for sure wear over and over again.

Remember what I said about the potential for sporadic blog posts while I deal with taking the Metro to and from work? Well, that really hasn't been happening. I'm probably posting a tad less frequently, but there hasn't been any prolong gaps between posts. The reason being... I've found a tripod solution in the form of a tabletop version!

Luckily there are plenty of ledges to be found during my commute, so it's almost as painless to set up as my regular tripod. My only must-have criteria during the search was a tripod that could handle both landscape and portrait orientations (turns out this single criteria weeded out most contenders.) The tripod collapses to only 7" in height and is so lightweight that I can easily slip it inside my purse with my other belongings. I've only been using tote-style bags for work because I'm often carrying a combination of laptop + lunch + umbrella + camera. Unfortunately that means all my smaller purses are sitting in my closet collecting dust... but that's a dilemma for another day.
