I hope you are all enjoying the goodwill of the holidays and staying safe/sane. The senseless murders in Connecticut last week have cast a pall over the spirits of so many. Hug the ones you love, and what the heck, hug somebody you just barely like, to remember that life is fleeting.
I look rather Christmas-y in this work outfit. I wasn't planning that, but I like the results. It's a black GAP tee on top, a thrifted Banana Republic wool skirt, and a teal cardigan. I saw that the combo was nice enough, but a bit like an egg without salt. So I added a super-colorful scarf I bought on eBay. Better!

Yup, sometimes an outfit needs just a little pizzazz, and that scarf certainly has it! It looks great with teal.
ReplyDeleteSending virtual hugs because, why not?
I like it without the scarf too. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, the addition of the scarf makes it fabulous! I love your analogy of the egg without salt...
ReplyDeleteI love that teal cardi over that all black look.
ReplyDeleteLove the colorful scarf! (of course!)
ReplyDeleteI missed your post the other day--I posted a comment, but so glad to be still leading the mini-skirt way......
Enjoy your holiday season!
Hugs across the world are especially necessary after that tragedy.
ReplyDeleteYou look vibrant and beautiful in that lovely outfit, the scarf makes it.
Patti--the outfit was great with just the cardigan but the scarf made it FABULOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteThe scarf definitely adds a punch. That cardigan is a really beautiful color. I giggled a bit at the "hug somebody you barely like".
ReplyDeleteThe scarf is the perfect touch for that outfit. An alternative might be to add a really great necklace or brooch. The outfit is really flattering and professional, but you're right, it just needed a little something-something :)
ReplyDeletei love the combination of teal and black with the light brown belt too. with the scarf it is more festive. the scarf is marvellous. i agree with you we should show our dears the love that we feel for them.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a pretty scarf!
ReplyDeleteThe scarf is perfect - it just pops off the teal so beautifully. You look gorgeous, Patti! So good to see all these amazing woman in their party clothes!

Love this! The color combo is perfect and I love how you compared your outfit to an egg salad without salt, too funny, I feel that ways sometimes too. The scarf was the perfect addition.
