Days of Gray and Blue

These light blue tights were hard to match to my clothes.  The fact that they and the skirt matched so nicely was a total coincidence!  I bought them at American Apparel a couple of months ago when I was traveling and wanted gray tights, I figured the light blue would be close enough.

I got complimented on my skirt and tights combination before I even got to work yesterday!  I love the random compliments, they make me feel so good.

I realized half way through today that not only had I worn blue for the last two days, but I had also chosen to wear a gray t-shirt both days as well tucked into a skirt.  This week has been pretty hectic so both days I threw together these outfits.  

I love this velvet mini with the button details on the front, but I would NEVER wear it with anything but opaque tights and flats to work because of its short length!

Toning Down

Today I decided to try to tone down my whimsical Marc by Marc Jacobs top to make it workplace appropriate.  I did this by pairing it with skinny black pants, my trusty oatmeal cardigan, and my light gold shoes.  I like how these shoes become almost nude.  

I love the multiple patterns on this top and how they all fit together.

Beautiful Tuesdays

Lost and Found

 Every year my mother tries to give every member of the family something soft for Christmas.  I have no idea why, but its her thing.  This sweater was my soft thing in 2007.  Its a pretty nice cashmere sweater from Anne Taylor and so I had it tucked away with some of my nicer clothes.  Only then I couldn't find it for a while.  I recently rediscovered it, which is perfect because it got cold in the Bay Area and this lace print was just what the doctor ordered.  I paired this cosy lace knit sweater with my navy blue button down pencil skirt, my dark purple tights and favorite winter shoes, my Leifdottir wedges.

 I love the lace pattern on this sweater.  Its pretty subtle but beautiful on the close up.  I also really like this nice light blue color.
