What I'm wearing
Today's outfit was brought to you by frankie_ecap and amelia_eve. Thank you, ladies!
I'm wearing:
Reddish burnt orange v-neck sweater (Esprit; clothes swap. Whose was this? It's fab.)
Charcoal long-sleeved t-shirt (H&M) (the t-shirt is rather longer than the sweater, so there is a nice wide horizontal band of slightly paler charcoal going over the trousers around my hips)
Chocolate pash (Sears; not strictly a pash, but hey)
Charcoal boot-cut trousers (Gap sale)
Chocolate Vans sneakers (TK Maxx) (I would have worn brown suede boots, but my knees have been playing up, so I need to be kind to them)
For outdoors today I wore a dark grey jacket, brown beanie, and black gloves.
This all works really well. The orange picks my skin up nicely, and the grey brings out my eyes. I did try the outfit with a charcoal pash, but the brown just worked better.
I look like my icon! But more grown-up. I call this outfit Volcano Girl Is Sleeping But Could Wake Up Any Minute.
(It occurs to me that I have worn orange and grey before, but never specifically charcoal grey and burnt orange, that I recall. I have previously worn the same outfit with brown instead of charcoal, but this is a whole other thing.)
I love it! Thank you. Now I will go back to my original post and look for more combinations to try tomorrow ...
