George says hello!
The outfit itself was no great shakes: new grey swirled tee from Kohls (Lauren Conrad, really? really), black Merona skirt, slate grey open cardigan, too-tight black Alfani sandals. My ankles have been swollen lately, a combination of poor diet, not enough water, and 18 million miles of walking while the Nephew was in town.
I am also unsure about this cardigan; I've had it for while but there is something about the flat color of the blue that is off. It never quite works with anything on me, including the two neutrals in this outfit! Hmmm.
Big stretch! He's such a ham.
You got it exactly correct: that blue is too flat. You need something brighter. Other than that, it's a nice outfit.
ReplyDeleteI feel like one big swollen ankle these days with the humidity levels.
I like the color of blue with the gray under. Sometimes muted is very sophisticated. Love the sleeves. Your cat wants to be a star.
ReplyDeleteI feel you on the swollen ankles, but yours don't look it at all. Bummer that you have trouble with the blue; the shape makes it so perfect for air conditioned summer offices.
ReplyDeleteHello to George! I have a turtleneck tunic sweater that same color from now defunct M&O and agree about the color being challenging. I wear it with a matching scarf that has grey and the same blue, but then I'm never sure whether to wear black pants (seems kinda harsh) or denim (seems kinda tone-on-tone). Maybe with white?
ReplyDeletehmmm, I really like that color blue.....is the kind of color I love, but if you feel like it does nothing for you, get rid of it. You should feel fabulous every day!
ReplyDeleteI like the cardi, and think you can make it work. What about pairing it with something that has a little sparkle? Sequins, beading or irridescent?
ReplyDeleteAw, I missed George! Hello, kitty!
ReplyDeleteI have a tough time with that blue shade as well - what's up with that??
I might try that cardi with a warm brown bottom.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we just end up with stuff like that. My motto is, "don't buy things to go with it hoping it will tranform into something you love." One mistake shouldn't drive your wardrobe.
Oh your poor feet and ankles...swelling hurts!
ReplyDeleteGeorge is too cute - love that he found a way into the pictures!
George is awesome!! We missed him too. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the cardi!!!!!! For something a little different you could try treating it as the neutral - I think it would be nice with yellow or bright pink :-)
LOL, too cute with your little kitty. I like how soothing the pallette is...but then again, I haven't been so much into color the past few weeks, haha.
