This was an outfit I wore last week sometime. I really liked the subtle tone differences in the shirt, cardigan and flower.
The shirt is taupe, sort of purplish brown/gray. Got it at our local thrift store for $2. It flows nicely, almost has a silky feel. I believe it's rayon.
The cardigan came from Down East last summer. I love the soft lavender color and it's very lightweight. The only thing I've decided I don't love about it is the hanging open factor. For some reason I just don't like those ends flapping as I walk. So I tie them loosely and get that draping quality in the front. I've debated trimming them into a more rounded shape rather than how angular they are now. Perhaps that would make it more comfortable for me to wear.
The flower I got at our local scrapbook supply store and attached a hairclip to it. It is also a taupe, but a more brownish version.
The dark jeans are some Old Navy jeans I got at the DYT store in Jan. I love them and the subtle details on them. No bling on my backside.
I have on a silver necklace with personalized charms to honor my mom and her battle with cancer and my dad who passed away in Dec. I know the circular shapes aren't just right, but because of it's sentimental value and it connecting me to my parents I wear it every day anyway. I also have on a pair of oval lacy silver earrings from Wallyworld. Very lightweight. Love them.
This is my natural hair color. I have finally gotten rid of the highlights I had put in a year ago to 'brighten' myself up. I finally, for the first time in my life, like my natural hair color and am finding ways to wear it that are soft, flowy and comfortable. No more helmet hair!
It looks great!
