Cobalt, Snakeskin & Lace

This was an outfit I wore when I was in Philadelphia with my friend Amy for her bachelorette party/shower weekend. But we were so busy that we barely took any pictures of our outfits, something we are usually very good at making time for.

A repeat wear was in order, so I threw it back on for an evening stroll with my husband. Pretty fancy for a walk to pick up a Redbox movie, huh?

Cobalt Pleats and Plaid

This is the third of this crepe pleated skirt that I own. I couldn't help but buy it because it's such a great color with a flattering fit. It gets tons of compliments with every wear, and it will work in every season. Many people at work stopped to tell me how cheerful my blue outfit was, even though "cheerful" is usually associated with yellow!

I hope this brings cheer, and not "blues" into your day!

And if you are interested, see how I wore the pink here and the cabernet here.
