Seeing this adorable owl sweater outfit last spring made me wish I had a work-appropriate orange skirt of my own...and an owl sweater.

But having neither, I re-purposed this inspiration for an extremely simple summer weekend outfit instead.
I historically have almost never worn orange--it's not really the best color for my complexion and hasn't been a favorite color of mine anyway. But somewhere along the way, I started wearing coral (which is somewhere between a pinkish-orange or an orange-ish pink, depending on the shade), and that was like a gateway to orange. One nice thing about this orange skirt and ballet flats combo is that the bright orange color looks just fine when worn away from my face. I think I will probably stick to shades of coral and coral-ish oranges on the upper half and retain the true orange for the bottom half. Saying this, I will buy a neon orange t-shirt next time I visit Goodwill, of course.

In other news...I woke up with a sinus headache that had developed into a migraine by lunch time and stuck with me until bedtime, so most of my day is kind of a blur to me now. But given my recent kidney stone suffering, a migraine wasn't too bad.
