Stripey Goodness

Today's outfit felt very daring! Red and burgundy together! Cats are sleeping with dogs!
Heh, but I digress. I got these fabulous tights and loved how all the colours went together and just started pulling colours out.

See? Stripes!
This is the dress I didn't wear for so long, as I moaned about here (I got rid of those shoes, by the way). The red top is new - I've stocked up on long-sleeved thin t-shirt tops lately.

Here's a better look at the stripey goodness:
I get a giggle out of the feet in them. It's just so Muppet-y. The necklace is from the 50s - it's my grandma's that she gave me when I was in my teens. Stuff about it here. And these are my Christmas earrings from L.

Dress (Banana Republic), top (Press), tights (Hue), boots (Miz Mooz), necklace (Lisner, Grandma J's, vintage 60s), earrings (Plum, gift from L).

  3. Love the stripey goodness! They are just so cool. The dress is so pretty. I really like how the jewelry compliments each other without being matchy.

  4. If I hadn't SEEN it, I wouldn't have BELIEVED it!

    Do they call this "breaking the ice"?

  5. Oh it's too wild! RED and BURGUNDY? How do they work so nice together, when my mother always told me never red and pink together, ever! The tights knew better, and so did you!

    Thanks, Sal, me too.

    Alison, thanks! I felt very cool all day.

    Ha, you are so right, Rebecca!

    Sherylyn, I know! It's insane! Secretly, I think ALL colours go together.
