Back in my comfort zone. OOTD (no pic, lol)

I woke up late and had to scramble to get dressed, so I'm back to basics - black pants, magenta tank, black and white patterned cardi, double-strand pearls and pearl earrings. And black pumps.

Tomorrow I will try for more color again.

  • well, you are wearing a magenta tank!

    This!  Plus you're wearing a pattern, so that's +1 points.

     

  • True, true. But I have no issues with one item being a pop of color as long as everything else is black. It's the color/pattern mixing that I'm not good at.

    YES!

    I'm taking the day off and still can't manage a pattern. Jeans, white tee, gray cardi. And my sneakers with a bit of hot pink on them are giving me anxiety.

  • That is too funny!  I am out of my comfort zone today - I am wearing a leopard print dress - meow!  Loads of compliments.  a) I rarely wear a dress or skirt, and b) I am a solids type of girl. 

    This is going to have to into my normal rotation!
  • Your post inspired me! I was scrambling this morning, so I was going to wear black pinstripe pants with a grey shirt (which has some sequin embellishments, but still) and a black cardi. SO BORING. But instead I wore my white ruffly cardigan, and yellow shoes.

  • We could be twins today. I'm wearing light grey pants, a magenta top, a grey and purple-ish striped cardi (the stripes are super skinny though), and black pumps. And that is me being exciting! I do have fun purple and silver earrings though, but all my accessories are purple so that's no shock.

    My problem is that I only do color in the purple/blue/teal spectrum, and never more than one color!

    I have a solid teal skirt from JCrew that I love, but I can never find anything but white or black to pair with it?and I actually don't look that good in black near my face. :(

  • Well, like you said - baby steps :)

    I'm in such a boring outfit today, but I blame T, who insisted on picking my pants and shirt today.  I just couldn't find an interesting (non-black) sweater to go with the button-down pink shirt that doesn't quite fit right (so needs to be hidden) and the black and white weave of the pants.  It's all the kid's fault!!

  • I can't wait until my kid tries to pick out my clothes, lol. Right now he just laughs at me when I change in front of him. Seriously. He sits right there on the floor and laughs his head off when I change. It's a little disconcerting.

  • in honor of the wondermous weather, I opted for a BR dress, purple/green/brown leafy kinda print, with an olive 3/4 sleeve cardi and olive suede flats. It may be a little summery without the cardi but with all the colors in the dress, I can put a cardi (usually wear purple, frankly) on and bc its silk, it goes year-round.

    so yay for color on a fantastic day! and tomorrow is Jeans Day -- bigger yay!
