st. patty's day outfit

[stuberyl]

I have a purple-ish turtleneck and a greenish pencil skirt I'd sometimes thought of wearing together, but then shied away because purple and green sounded a little too junior high. (Like, I literally did have a purple and green sheath dress with matching [long, swingy] coat that I wore in junior high. My Nigerian relatives sometimes send me outfits and that was perhaps my very favorite of them all. I remember rushing from a school dance, coat floating in the breeze of my passage, busily checking my watch to make sure the carriage wouldn't disappear before I got to the parking lot.)

Then, yesterday, I read a bit of this blog:

And today I have paired the previously un-matchable items, and also have a pair of lemon-lime colored wedges on my footses.

It was one of these two entries that did it:

The girl knows nothing about fashion, she says. If that's the case, I have no hope at all. But at least I feel happy about what I'm wearing today.

P.S. Also, I am so jealous of her waist-to-hip ratio I can't stand it.
