Daily Outfit - Kate - 2/4/10

Today's outfit was exceedingly comfortable - both physically and mentally. It's a little more casual than I'd usually wear on a Thursday at work (what with the frayed edges on the skirt and the scarf) but I'm usually so overdressed anyway that it all evens out. I loved this one!



I was going for a "put together but not at all matchy-matchy" vibe, and I think it worked. In a past life I would've worn a red or brown tee under this cardi, but now that I'm such a wild and crazy (:-P) girl I wore teal! WHOAaaa....

And look! A (blurry) picture where I don't look like a total dork:

This is more like how I look in real life. Dimple, pointy chin, gap in the teeth...yup.

As I blog this and think about the outfit's origins, I think I'm realizing why I like it so much - most of the pieces have a story or a unique origin, and they all make me feel good :-)
