Blue is Electric






It feels like a blustery, fall day outside, no jokes here.  I have on a favorite thick-knit dress, sleeveless, with pockets, and stripes, and sometimes that's all you need.  My go-to usual is grabbing black tights, black flats, and a black cardi. But today: Blue is Electric.  It goes but it doesn't go, but it's a pop of color with a pale striped ensemble.  In my mind it works, but I wouldn't put this together every day.  I added some rouge-ish eyeliner on top of my usual gold shimmery shadow.  Maybe, today, Thursday, is just adding a bit of not-so usual.

Pleated Tank






No lie, I just LOVE this full skirt.  It's a little dressy for my normal "librarian chic" as my friend likes to call my workday style, but it goes with everything and today that's a pleated tank.  I used to always only wear off-white or black with this skirt until I figured out that almost any print piece can go with any solid piece!  Like Tim Gunn would say "Make it Werk!" My comfy two-toned flats keep it still neutral and have me thinking about finding some two-toned brogues to add to my footwear collection.  I never would have thought five years ago I'd be trading my loved heels for a collection of brogues.
