More Pencil Skirts: Part 2

Weather continued to be pleasant, with highs in the low 70s, appropriate for eking out some more skirts-without-tights outfits.

This post is brought to you by the color pink.

How Many Pink Knit Shirts Does One Woman Need? -- Wed., 9/17/14

At least this one has a (subtle floral) design and a couple rows of ruffling around the neckline rather than being plain.  It's from a brand I'm totally unfamiliar with -- the oddly named Fresh Produce.  For extra warmth, I wore this in the morning with my short sleeved white cardigan from Nordstrom that is turning out to be a real workhorse.  That was $20 or so well spent.

Crazy About Dots -- Thurs., 9/18/14

This navy polka dot pencil skirt is one I keep seeing crop up on various blogs.  I love that it is so versatile.  And it totally works with yet another pink knit shirt I could not resist buying at Goodwill.  But this one is dark pink, 3/4 length sleeves, and boat neck.  That makes it completely different from the others ones, right?  Right????

Yes, completely different.

You're reminding me of a story of two roommates. My college friends Amy and Lisa found out they were going to be roommates at the beginning of the summer. They contacted each other and agreed to get matching pink bedspreads and rugs.

They arrived on campus, one with pastel pink and one with hot pink. Oops!

They got along basically fine, though they did switch roommates sophomore year.

Ah, a good warning tale, Debbie.

I had black sheets and bedspread in college, but luckily I wasn't trying to match my roommate's stuff because black is crazily difficult to match. Have you guys ever noticed that?

Yes, it turns out black is usually some other color, like dark brown, dark red, dark blue, etc. And black fades, so even if it's really black, it might be pastel black (grey).
