Gray Hearts






Instead of just black on black, I've got black on gray on lighter gray on black and gray (say that three times fast!).  I'm in love with this gray heart sweater and because I'm always itchy no matter the cotton content of knitwear, it's layered over a long sleeved tee with a faux silk collar and cuffs.  I've got my heavy sci-fi hardware-ish cuff on too.  I like the heavy, bold statement of a cuff over a thin bracelet usually and especially with black.  They say it's the Year of the Horse and funny thing; I found a horse IN the office named Twinkle.  I thought it would be funny to take a pic with it, but I don't think my boss would approve of that right now, we'll see.  It also looks like my tea stash is getting low, right?

Honeycomb and Zebra







Can you tell I'm loving this pink/red houndstooth skirt?  I left a little pink in today with the pearly necklace, but then added more black and white accents like the honeycomb sweater (another cozy fave), zebra bangle, and black/white flats (with black tights like, OF COURSE).  I have a jade ring and a few plain silver bangles to add a tiny bit of bling.  I found a list of the top rated fictional books from last year to start reading and have completed 2 already- though most I'm finding are YA but that's okay for now since they are easy reads. I watched the season finale of American Horror Story: Coven and decided I'm in love with most of Cordelia's outfits from WornonTV, so I'm hoping to find some of the knock off skirts (in black on black with a few flowers thrown in) to add to my wardrobe. Fingers crossed!
