Aside from the problems I had with my pantyhose today, I really liked my outfit. I took inspiration from a couple of very stylish YLFers: goldenpig and ChristyG.

I always loved goldenpig's ink blue jacket that she found at White House Black Market. I wandered in there recently and lo! it was on sale. I couldn't resist.

I didn't quite know what to wear with it though, until I saw Christy's fabulous blue/black/white outfit yesterday. It never crossed my mind to wear blue and black together, but I really like it!

Comments appreciated as always...and thanks for the inspiration!!!

Drat, the forum ate my post. I'm not sure what happened. Anyway, here are two outfits I've worn recently.

The first features a new floral sweater with sparkly things on it. I like it a lot, but am not sure if it's too long for this full skirt? The picture angle may not be doing me any favors here.

#2 is a combination of old favorites. I wasn't 100% sure about mixing all of these colors, but I didn't notice anyone snickering behind my back today, so hopefully it was ok. (My hair is wet because I just got back from standing in a field in the rain to watch my daughter play soccer.)

Whatever panache/fashion creativity I may have possessed seems to be slipping away the earlier I get up for work. I'm just desperate to get clothes on so I can rush out the door and catch my bus.

I tried hard this morning, but look very rumpled. *sigh*

So, why am I posting this? Well, just because I missed you gals and wanted to prove I'm still alive, lol :)

I bought a few new things on my lunch break and can't wait to show you though.
