Sometimes I like to rhyme for no reason. And sometimes I don’t figure out that my shoe is untied until after I take my pictures. Both of those things happened here today:
The picture taking process was a rather distracted mess today so neither Ferge nor I noticed that my shoe was untied. I do love these shoes, but satiny ribbon maybe isn’t the best for staying tied. I’m still going to wear the heck out of them though, so perhaps a double knot is in order. Untied or (k)not, I liked these shoes with this outfit. I think the burgundy of the shoes (Naya “Jada” via Nordstrom) works well with my flared trouser jeans (Gap) and olive-brown sweater (ana via JC Penney) which I layered over a sheer blue and white blouse (Gap).
In other news, the rain has returned to Oregon
What about you all? What time of year is most difficult for you, wardrobe-wise?
Happy Monday, Everyone!
I absolutely love that sweater!

it's true, satin ribbon never stays tied.
ReplyDeleteGood luck coming up with outfits that work for biking in the rain... I'm thinking rainboots and trench coats?
Chic on the Cheap

I too love the sweater!
ReplyDeleteLove this look, and brava to you for riding your bike, no matter the weather!
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time looking chic in the winter. It's the big puffy coat and the sensible boots, not to mention the fact that here the drab gray days just linger on and on. gosh, I'm already done with winter and it's not even here yet.
ReplyDeleteYou look so fresh and pretty, it's hard to imagine that you ride to work looking so nice. Yippee for being healthy and green :)
Very cool, I love these colors together. For me the hardest time wardrobe-wise in the dead of summer because it's sooo hot here you really can't layer at all.
ReplyDeletePerfect fall. And I love the shoes, especially the satin ribbon!
ReplyDeleteAs a new bike-commuter, I'm a little frightened of riding in the rain! It sounds silly, but people get craaaazy around here when it rains, and visibility is lessened, and everything's slippery...I'm going to have to take it easy the first few times, I think, just to be sure I don't have any problems. I'll probably also end up swaddling myself in my big ol' raincoat because we're wimps about rain here in CA. (My mom's already becoming a hearty Pacific Northwestian, I can tell.)
ReplyDeleteIn non-bike related comments, this is cute! You pick garments that drape on you so well. And the flash of red at the bottom is perfecto.
I have exactly the same problem! Even in the dead of winter, I've worked up a sweat by the time I get to work. The rain hit with a fury this week, so I'm back to rain gear. So far, what's working for me is work bottoms under rain pants, a tank top under my (sadly not breathable) rain jacket, and my work tops and shoes in a bag so that I can change when I arrive. Now I just have to get organized enough to pack the bag the night before...:)
ReplyDeleteI think winter is my biggest challenge. My campus is on a hill and the wind can be brutal even just walking from one building to another. Do you keep a spare outfit at work?
ReplyDeleteOh, the rain. Yep, it's back! It's always rough the first couple of weeks, then we get used to again:)
ReplyDeleteI think it's spring for me. The weather here is just so changeable, and as much as I love spring, it's often so darn cold that I'm wearing my winter clothes until, like, May. I love those trouser jeans a lot.
