Blue sweater bracelet: Old Navy, remixed
Ring: World Market, remixed
Where:
Work, downtown
So I know, I know. I am TOTALLY copying quite a few of my favorite bloggers' outfits with this one. Sincerest form and all, so I think it's okay. And no good copycat copies without citation, so: thank you A., S., Psyche, Sal, and Kimberly, for being constant sources of inspiration!!
These electric blue short boots (booties?? what a weird word for a shoe that's not a baby's slipper!) I found on sale (I don't remember exactly, but <$10!) at Target and FELL. IN. LOVE. Apparently, Kasmira felt the same (see how she styles them here). They're not the most comfy, but when you need a bright and intense splash of blue they do just the trick. I actually wore my trusty and comfy brown boots during the day when I was walking around downtown, but these were perfect for work stuff.
I feel like I'm getting a bit more daring with my patterns today. I started off with my new, AWESOME, anchor necklace from Etsy, and my nautical theme was in place! I actually really like the way the scarf's bright V-lines constrasted with, yet complimented, the shirt's neutral verticals. Even the detail on my ring has some lines to it! To be honest, I'm very proud of myself today.
