Feed Your Head

Oh, it's late, it's late...but not such an important date. I went to see "Alice in Wonderland" tonight with Elaine. I was supposed to go home right after work, but I fell down the rabbit hole and went for drinks (wine!) after work because Ruth Is Back From Vacation and I missed her.

I barely made it to town - and I discovered that the payphones here don't actually accept change anymore! That's ridiculous. So I begged the pizza place to lend me their phone and I let L know that I was staying in town to go to the movie.

Good thing I had wine. It wasn't a very good movie - I kept waiting for that elusive spark, and alas, it did not come. It was very pretty, though.

But I digress. Because I am tired:
I felt very springy in this. I have tried to do turquoise with this skirt before, rather unsuccessfully.

The lighter turquoise shoes with the not-quite-matching belt and the blue/orange accessories was better this time, I think.
You can't see any of the blue in that shot, but I wanted to pet Inigo.

Here:
My hair is unkempt because I walked home.

The stuff:
My necklace is actually a brooch strung on the silver cord, and coincidently, the earrings were a gift from Elaine.

Cardigan (Jacob), cami (InWear), skirt (Nine West), belt (Nygaard), shoes (Le Chateau), brooch (The Bay), earrings (gift from Elaine).

  1. Fabulous shoe color.

    I was dying to see Alice till I read the reviews. Now I have no desire whatsoever.

  3. Ooooh, I really like that with the sunny yellow! I think the turquoise works this time because the outfit is lighter-colored and they are more accent pieces than the primary colors of the outfit. Sweet!

    *pets Inigo* Sweet, sweet kitty.

  5. I feel the same way about Alice. It was good, not great. It was missing something.

    But you! You look fantastic. I've been obsessed with blue/orange combos for the past couple of weeks. This is a fantastic outfit.

  6. I have been seeing soo much publicity on this movie I am not sure I will go see it...
    This outfit is soo pretty and the hints of turquoise are perfect.
    Now, here comes an odd question. Do you put clothes on Inigo ? I just thought he would look gorgeous in a red t shirt.

  7. Yes, the soft teal is a far better compliment to the skirt. This looks lovely!

  9. Thanks, Wendy. Yeah, don't bother.

    Thanks, Rebecca!

    Kristen, it's a funny yellow - it has a lot of green in it. Yes, I agree - the darker teal was too heavy.

    EvaNadine - thanks!

    Megan, it's too bad - I usually really like Tim Burton's movies. Thanks so much - I love orange and blue together.

    Lorena, skip it. Thanks so much. Hahah! No, he's never been dressed up - he's already in his tuxedo. :)

    Thanks, Audi!

    FA, thanks - the top is not really mustard. Hard to describe.

  10. That turquoise with the yellow looks beautiful--I never would have thought of that.

  11. That outfit is awesome. I love the colors.

    I just finally saw Alice on Friday too. I thought it was alright. But I think you're right. It lacked the amazingness I was expecting.

    Thanks, Rita!

    Thanks, Megan. Too bad about Alice.
