Happy Columbus Day! ShopBop has marked down a ton of new stuff (including a number of items I previously recommended). There are a ton of cute dresses for parties or dates, including this dark blue number from BB Dakota. I like the belt, the high (but still flattering, I think) V-neck neckline, and the pleats — it looks fun and festive, and I suspect it could be dressed up or down. It was $88, but is now marked to $61.60. BB Dakota Mary Wrap Dress with Belt

Just need to vent — I am figuratively shaking my fist at whoever wrote the grant application guide for NIH grants right now. There are some awfully obscure required items in the instructions.
On an unrelated note, I had no idea that Ellen and I are both GW alumni! (Any guesses on when she went there?)
