I went a little overboard with my pink today, but it made me feel happy, plus I went out for lunch with one of my committees and I wanted to be fancy for them.

I love the shape of this grey sweater - it is wide but has a snug waistband, which I've "French-tucked" in here to show off my belt.
The wide neckline keeps it from being too airy, so I layered a white tee underneath. Can you see my little black kitty brooch on my sweater?
My colleagues LOVED my pink Boss Pants.
I wish the pockets were bigger.
The pockets on the back are fake - they'd never do that on a man's trouser! OUTRAGE!
Outerwear.
As I was walking home, a lovely person said, "I like your pink!"
Why thank you, kind stranger!
All the pink!
Incognito - it was clear and cold cold cold.

More pink love!
Yay for fabulously bright and cheery pink! Makes me think of cardinals against the snow, of which we have several - birds and inches. :) Bright color set against winter’s shades makes for smiles. Add in a Thai lunch and your day sounds just right.
ReplyDeleteI love your entire outfit. For the fun of it I will research Scotch & Soda.
We are relieved this morning because there was a local off-season special election and the candidate we supported won heartily over the Washington endorsed candidate. Whew!
Between your joyful pinks (and those wonderful pants!) and the election result Wednesday is starting out with a smile. :)
Cheers, Laurie
Thanks so much, Laurie! Yes, bright colour in grey winter is something I realized I really needed many years ago.
DeleteIt's a fun brand - they make quirky clothes in nice prints and colours. I always take a second look when I see their stuff in the stores.
That is a relief! Phew! Hope the rest of your week is just as good.
There's no limit on pink on a cold Winter's day!
ReplyDeleteThe fake back pockets are an outrage indeed, but I'm absolutely loving that grey jumper! xxx
I so agree, Ann! thank you!
DeleteI like your pink too Madam Sheila!
ReplyDeleteIt pops beautifully under that gorgeous coat!!! The boss trousers are a definite authority to be reckoned with - I love them!!! It was very nice to be fancy for your lunch date! Xx
Thanks so much, Kezzie! I love those pink trousers!
DeleteThose trousers are so cheery and fun! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Vix!
DeleteI love those pink trousers...such a great pink and grey look altogether!
ReplyDeleteThe black pointy kitten heels are adorable as well!
Thanks so much, Ivana - I love pink and grey together. I think kitten heels are usually less than 1 inch - these are around 2.5".
