Purple and Blue

I'm so happy that it's Friday!! I was actually inspired to try this color combination from eboni's weekly link up. Although I don't have a leather skirt (I need to rectify that sooner than later), I love how the blue and purple sweater looks against the deep purple/brown of the skirt.

Brown Outfit #5

 

Lately, I've been attracted to grayish brown clothes. I thought that the burgundy based scarf, tights, and shoes was a nice touch. I'm still looking for grayish brown boots to really match this striped dress. Let me know if you see any :).

Brown Week Outfit #3

 

My goal is to post at least 3 outfits a week. Here's another brown inspired outfit that I wore to work today. The next time that I wear this skirt, I may pair it with a different top because I don't quite like how it looks in this photo.

This dress is one of my staples, hands down. It's so comfy, easy to throw on, and matches practically everything I own. With the exception of the necklace, everything else is remixed.

I'm a little bit behind with documenting my outfits. It's time to get outside more and take pictures in different locations. More to come!

Just trying to document outfits for posterity's sake.

I really like this green and blue combination. It seems as if I either pair this cardigan with purple, reds, or blues. What other color would you wear with it?

One of the kids in my homeroom kept asking me 'what's up with my hair'? Dude, if after the 6th time of you saying it, you don't get a response, that means that your comment is out of line!! Kids these days, lol!

I knew I wanted to wear this red skirt today and built this outfit around it. Not bad for a day of donation and hitting up the library with my two girls!

I really want to make one of those cool collages--are there any great (free) websites or programs that you'd recommend?

Hey! Another try at wearing this dress. The pattern can be considered 'loud'--I think the top subdues it a little bit. Most importantly, look at my legs!! I haven't even been exercising consistently but my legs look amazing, woot woot! lol!
