How I wore it: family invasion

Today we had a busy-ass day, people. I woke up early to get a run in before preparing for the onslaught of family that came over. Last night I'd made my "world-famous" (at least in three states) oatmeal cookie / cheesecake bars (yup) and this morning I made TWO pastitsios to make sure to be able to feed seven hungry adults. My parents bussed in from New York and my brother and his family from Connecticut and we had a lovely dinner together as well as present-opening, as I hadn't seen my family since Thanksgiving. It was lovely to have everyone, including my mother-in-law, whom my family adores. Because I was basically running around the kitchen, running around the house, running around my niece, and running around my family all day, I wanted to be comfy: here's what I wore -

Turquoise corduroy leggings, comfy Frye boots (still fearing the slushy/salty ground, I'm not wearing the new ones), a beloved tunic, and a soft cashmere cardigan? Yes, please. I've always loved the contrast of turquoise/teal with purple, so I wore my purple sweater on purpose. It was maybe not the most traditional outfit ever seen, but I felt happy and mobile and my parents didn't cringe in disgust (at least in front of me), so I consider that a success.

My brother and sister-in-law gifted me THE most amazing t-shirt ever. I used to wear graphic tees all the time, but then, when I stopped being a freshman in college, I pretty much stopped (except for rock-inspired tees), with a few exceptions. Here's another one:

I mean, right? I've seen this t-shirt somewhere on the internet, but I can't remember where. Can anyone enlighten me? Anyways, yes, this is my new t-shirt. I will wear it, um, all the time. I know I've mentioned my love for walruses before, so I'll just leave you agape at my new amazing article of clothing. 

Try to control your jealousy.
