You're My Inspiration

You are my inspiration!

You are, Keri at Headlines & Hemlines. White T, bright cardigan, and scarf? On it!

And you are, Anne at The Cohabitating Closet. My polka-dot navy scarf twin!

And you are, Gap. I can't stop staring at the display at my local store of all the green/blue-toned pieces: teal, navy, olive, turquoise, baby blue all jumbled together in a lovely, unexpected way.

You all inspired this:





I wanted to go with just a white tee like Anne did, but it was much too cold. So I went with a medley of blues: teal LOFT open cardigan, navy ON polka-dot scarf (finally wore it!), and navy Gap modern bootcuts. Silver Anne Klein loafers and white tunic-top from Nordies and I was set!

(See how easy it sounds? The reality is I could not figure out to wear with the navy scarf AT ALL. I must have tried on a half-dozen combos before I remembered this cardigan from two years ago. Thank goodness it was the one!)

In other news, I got a new point-and-shoot! So easy to use; it has a custom timer so I can set up 5 shots in a row. So much easier than before. Now I just need to play with the white balance and colors a bit more. I didn't think my face was that ruddy or the sweater colors that washed out. But the timer lets me do more dorky shots like this. LOL!




Best of all, it's blue, my color obsession. Everything I have been looking at lately have been blues and reds/pinks. What is up with that? Where are my purples and mustards? Hrm.

Thanks for the resounding answer on the sandal dilemma. I just ordered a few from Zappos -- now it just needs to get warm enough to wear them! I figure when it gets warm enough to open my windows it will be warm enough to bare my toes. Hee!
