In the Limelight

No, no, I was not cast in an off-off-off-off-times-infinity-Broadway adaptation of Imitation of Life.  Though, I have to say that I wish that I were.  I love that movie.  I wonder if the book is any good.  I bet it is.  I should try to find it and read it and cry like a frickin' baby.

Anywho, no I'm not on stage, but I am wearing lime:


Sweater: Old Navy  Pants: LOFT  Boots: Born Crown  Necklace: Vintage via Lil' Gypsy

And it's staying lighter longer... so that title totally makes sense!

Also making sense, this color combination:


I know a lot of people wouldn't think to pair a lime top with teal pants, but it works because they're both shades of green.  Very different shades of green, but still, they're green and you can generally wear two or more shades of a color together and it will work out okay.

There you go, my tip for the day.  Oh, wait, I have one more.  If you haven't ever seen Imitation of Life, watch it.

And have a Happy Tuesday, All!

Deepest, Darkest Jungle



I love the black background on this tropical print jacket.  It reminds me of the deepest, darkest jungle:




And it’s more “appropriate” for winter than a brighter tropical print might be. 

I also love the Karina dress (Marisa, c/o Karina Dresses) that I paired it with.  This dress has been a closet workhorse since I received it a couple of years ago.  It’s held its shape beautifully and is so easy to layer so it can be worn year round.  In addition to the jacket (vintage, gifted) and the dress, I also wore tights (Spanx via Nordstrom) and boots (Gap).  I also added coral statement necklace (via Piperlime) to complement the colors on the jacket. 

Happy Thursday, All!
