nearly national velvet

I suppose if I liked horses this outfit would make more sense. It is an inch away from being a costume for a indie film remake of "National Velvet". Whatever I think it's cute and really like the mix of masculine and feminine elements in this outfit. (note: skinny jeans required - a tunic is not a dress)

1.mauve scarf
2.wool plaid jacket
3.pin tucked tunic
4.super cute knee high boots

flower power

I wore a dress to work today and was asked how much I paid for my white stockings. Not a strange question to ask except I wasn't wearing stockings. Yep, my skin is that pasty and pale. My "white stockings" would have to be addressed before I could put on this dress. Perhaps I should apply self tanner but, I am a little skittish. I am afraid that I will miss a spot or not apply it evenly. Judging by today's outburst, getting over my self tanning issues might be the best way to go. I like that the flowers on tunic, shoes and rings are not too obnoxious or cutesy for a grown woman to wear.

Too Cutey Patooty?

In theory, I like this sweater but I don't know what this outfit would look like in real life.  This may be a "kindergarten teacher" outfit.  My mom was a kindergarten teacher and she wore fun, themed outfits.  The kids loved them.  At Christmas, the shirts were decorated with reindeer, Santa Claus and snow covered pine trees.  During Halloween the pumpkins, candy corn and ghosts were out.  Obviously all the outfits were brought together with matching earrings. You get the picture.

I like the sweater and shoes together but I don't know if it is too old, frumpy and themed.  Chances are if I am asking the question the answer is yes. But maybe not?
