Fun with Colors

For my next trick I'm going to try unexpected color combinations. Well, they're unexpected for me anyway as someone who was scared to wear color till recently. When I was playing with my clothes and just sticking stuff together to see how it looked, this is one of the combos I tried. Maybe that should be my theme in December. Wait, I'm doing a theme? Not sure I'm ready and good enough for a theme. Oh well, why not?

Tuesday is pizza day

I have no idea what that has to do with this outfit, but it is pizza day. Usually Tuesday is the day my parents pick up my kids, meet me in the nearby town where I work and we go to Dad's favorite pizza place. All I know is that I don't have to cook and that makes it a good day. It calls for a celebratory outfit!
 

What happens when your husband calls in the middle of your son taking an outfit photo? This. You can't really tell these are black pinstripe pants and that the black sweater has cute ruffles at the neckline and sleeves. Sheesh, you don't know just how bad I need a new camera!!

Monday's Outfit a Day Late

There was a rain delay in getting Monday's outfit posted! Actually I had to work late and I'm not enough of a morning person to post in the morning. Normally I don't wear grey on rainy days but I figured the turquoise scarf would cheer it up. And as usually our dog Padme has to get in on the action. I've decided setting the self-timer is her cue to get in front of me. It must send out signals only she can hear. I have my cute plaid rain boots on but these pants looked stupid tucked in. I'm having pants tucked in boots issues that I need to work out!

Sunday's Outfit

 Playing weekend catch-up. Here's the fun red thrifted jacket and striped shirt I wore Sunday. My church is pretty casual and anything goes from jeans to your nicest outfits. So it's fun to wear whatever suits my mood.

As for my continuing quest for better fit, there goes that darn sagging crotch again on another pair of pants. I really had no idea that so many of my clothes need altering. In the last 2 years my hubby and I have lost weight and had some fluctuations up and down since then. It seems like my body changes shape subtly every few months now that I'm past 40. Fun! I think I either need to learn to sew or make good friends with a tailor!
