Day 16: Pattern Mix -- Sunday, 11/16/14
I know, a normal person would wear a solid shirt with a leopard vest, but I was excited to wear my new striped shirt. I love stripes, and I have a couple of striped shirts/sweaters, but I did not have any plain black-and-white striped knit shirts. (This is not something that I ever come across at Goodwill.) So over the weekend, I went to Kohls and found two excellent ones.
I also wanted to wear my new black ankle boots, part of my haul from the Nordstrom sale. And to show them off to best effect, I pegged my straight-legged jeans like it's 1992. OK, I admit, I did not actually wear my jeans like this all day -- I did it for the amusement value in the photo (and, yes, to expose the boots in the photo). I hope you are properly entertained/appalled by this time warp fashion.
A detail about this shirt that I love, which is not visible with the vest, is its cool quilted shoulders!
I am happy to have a black-and-white striped knit shirt in my wardrobe. (I actually do have a short-sleeved one from Walmart that I've had forever, but the season in which short sleeve shirts make a serious return to relevance is months away. One thing I have noticed is that despite living in Snow City, I still automatically gravitate toward short sleeved shirts. They feel the most flexible and adaptable -- hey, you can always add a cardigan or jacket! Wait, I need to add a cardigan or jacket to a long-sleeved shirt or sweater anyway because it's like 0 degrees outside! Damn! -- but they are definitely of limited value in my current situation.)
