Wavy Navy

This outfit is not just olive and navy:





No.  This is olive and wavy navy:

Please to forgive the fact that my necklace looks like I put in on in the middle of a hurricane.


And wavy navy is, as everyone knows, much fancier that just plain ol' regular navy and is therefore totally work appropriate:


You know, for a tee shirt.


Also, it's linen.  And nothing says professionalism (and wrinkles) like linen:



For the record, it's a linen-blend and therefore not that wrinkly.  Also, the wavy pattern helps disguise any wrinkles there might be.  


So, really, I'm back to my original argument that wavy navy is totes office appropriate:


Totes.


Happy Friday, All!

Pencil Midi & A Bomber

Today's post was inspired by Angie's post on midi pencil skirts & bombers on You Look Fab the other day.  I think I was most inspired by this idea because I actually own a pencil midi and a bomber jacket and I figured I may as well wear them together.  So I did:



As you can see, my bomber "jacket" is actually a cardigan:



But that put this look more into my comfort zone.  I can't image I'd get as much use from, say, a satin or leather bomber jacket.  And, I honestly think the silhouette is what matters with this look, not the fabrication.

And I think I got the silhouette right:



The shoes might be a bit heavy, but I'm obsessed with these darned Splendid boots and plan on wearing them whenever possible until it gets up to about 80.  You've been warned.

Happy Thursday, All!
