Hidden Magenta

I don't have a hidden agenda with this post:

But, I do have some hidden magenta:

Yep, I wore pretty magenta sandals with this, but you can't hardly see them unless I do stuff like this:

And when I do stuff like that, I sometimes fall over (as occurred in the right-hand photo above).


Also, no, my shoes don't "match" my jacket:

But they "go" fabulously:

They add a bit of interest, but aren't completely discordant.


Also, they're really tall, which I need with this dress because even in four-inch wedges, this dress is almost too long for me:

That's a nice, rare problem to have.

Dress: LOFT  Jacket: vintage, thrifted
Sandals: Cole Haan  Earrings: gifted (similar)

Happy Thursday, All!

The Clash

Full disclosure.  I am not wearing this today.  I did not wear this yesterday.  I actually wore this last week before the rains came.  But, I forgot to post it so I'm doing that today because I'd hate for you all to miss my clashing shoes:

Top: LOFT  Skirt: thrifted vintage  Sandals: Cole Haan via DSW

Now, personally, I feel like poppy and magenta are complimentary colors but several of my co-workers informed me that not only did I not match, I didn't even "go" and my shoes in fact clashed with my skirt:

Nonsense, right?  Seriously, I think you'd hear fewer "but I don't get it" comments trying to explain geometry to first graders.

And maybe they're right and this look is clashing and not complimentary, but it's such a good clash, how could I resist?

I guess I just figure that if you're going to clash you should do so in the brightest, happiest colors you can.  Otherwise, you've confused your co-workers for nothing.  And we wouldn't want to do that, would we?

Happy Tuesday, All!

Ooh, I almost forgot!  Linking up (late) with Patti for Visible Monday because, well, of course. (ETA: Or not.  Apparently Visible Monday is on a break this week.  Oops!)

Quiet Tropics

As it turns out, I am a sucker for a tropical print.  I don't have a huge amount of them, but when I fall for one, I fall hard.  I fell very hard indeed for this shirt:

Gap shirt, Lucky jeans & Cole Haan shoes

The print is just so good.  Instead of a riot of tropical colors, it's printed in shades of green and blue which makes it unlike any of the other tropical prints I have in my closet.  This is more of a quiet tropical print.

Today I paired it with a pair of "boyfriend" jeans, but I think it'll work wonderfully this summer paired with white:

Man, I love tropical prints.

What about you, Reader Friends?  What's your preferred print?

Happy Thursday, All!

Gracey and the Big Thigh Day

I am having a big thigh day today:

Don’t get me wrong, I always have big thighs.  My thighs will tell you themselves that they are the biggest, baddest thighs on the planet and that that is why they’re forming their own republic.  

But, I think they're planning something because I could barely get these jeans over them today.  Usually when they act up, I like to quash their dreams of independence with a full skirt, but I’ve been too busy lately to chase down the rebel leaders.  The result?  My thighs in open rebellion.  And by open rebellion, I mean jeans:

Well, Thighs, enjoy it while it lasts.  Because as soon as I can marshal my forces, I’m coming after you with the biggest, fullest skirt I can find.

Happy Wednesday, Everyone!  (Well, everyone except my thighs, of course).

Spring Colors and Bare Toes

It was 65 degrees today.  In Oregon.  In March.  I know, I was shocked as well.  But, not so shocked I couldn’t take advantage of the warmer weather with spring colors and bare toes:

The spring colors are courtesy of a pair of coral, ankle-zip skinnies (Gap), a peach sweater (thrifted via Goodwill) and a turquoise and coral polka dotted scarf (a gift from the amazing and awesome Ana).  And the bare toes are courtesy of my new peep-toe clogs (Cole Haan via TJ Maxx).

Happy Friday, All!
