This outfit was not what I had planned for today, but when I woke it up it was cloudy and cold. So I switched gears and threw this together. This morning I even had on teal tights, but I didn't put them back on after my swim this afternoon because the warm weather did arrive. Even though this was not the outfit I had planned I really liked it.
By far my favorite part of this outfit are my mouse flats. When I was studying abroad in Europe during my Junior year of college I first came across these flats. After a day of wandering the streets of Paris, I ended up wandering in the Galleries Lafayette, the old and famous high end malls. It was there that I first saw Marc Jacobs mouse shoes. Of course they were several hundred Euros and I couldn't afford them. When I found them last year in a consignment store and I had some birthday money from my grandmother, I went for them.
Because my outfit was paternless, I broke out a scarf to add even more color and some much needed pattern to my look. This is actually one of my mother's scarves that I bought her for her birthday two years ago. Its a print of houses on a canal, which you can never see when you wear it. Luckily it also has great colors in it.
I really liked how the toned down sweater and skirt played up the funky shoes and sweater today.
A little kitty love for the stone lion in the backyard.
