Hurray for winter's last gasp, bringing cool, rainy weather back to Coldville (after a week of sunny days with highs around 70) so I can replicate this outfit that I loved from the Fashionably Employed blog.

I feel like I nailed this one.
Navy cardigan (Kohls)+
Bright teal pencil skirt (JCP)+
Navy/teal striped T (Kohls)+
Navy scarf (Target)+
Navy leggings+
Tall cognac boots by Sam Edelman+
(Items marked with + are new for the Work the Wardrobe challenge. It's like your first birding outing of the year, when even the ubiquitous house sparrow counts as new for the year--it's easy to make quick gains.)
I have to admit, even though tall cognac boots are a fashion blogger cliche, they really worked in this outfit. Teal, navy, and cognac are a very appealing combination.
Verdict: It was a good thing I was bundled up a bit today because it was quite cool. There was a stiff breeze this afternoon when I left work, and when I got into the car, the radio guy said it was 43 degrees. Yikes.
It was a relatively quiet day at work today because my officemate is on vacation today and tomorrow (staying home, working on her house--one of those home improvement projects that make me glad to be a renter). But I had a nice amount of work to do, so the day went quickly. My quarterly reports that were due at the end of the day today? I had them out by 2 p.m. Yay. And just before I left for the day, I received the data file that I need for my next big set of reports, so I'm looking forward to getting started with that tomorrow morning.

The two pictures were almost identical. Yes, you nailed it! And, it looked great on you.
Thanks! Maybe I should have gotten Robert to photograph me out on our balcony to extra similar ;)
Wow, that's an amazing match! And it looks great.
Thanks! Doing 3 different colors of boots, tights, and skirt was a bit outside my comfort zone so I'm glad I tried it.
