You may recall this necklace from my review of the book about the guys starving and freezing their way back from a failed attempt to sail to the North Pole. I still think it looks quite appetizing in this emsemble.
There was apparently a grey pencil skirt, black knit top, purple cardigan idea floating around this month because about a week after I wore this outfit, I saw a post on the descriptively titled Outfit Posts blog that used the same basic formula. (I like my shoes that color block grey and black a bit better than I do the black wedges. Her cardigan has a shape/length that is more flattering with a pencil skirt, though.)

Mint Flower Necklace -- Thursday, 10/16/14
Nope, there are no quotation marks in the name of this necklace because it just obviously is what it is. I could take the lead of people who put up signs outside convenience stores, etc., and call it the "Big" Mint Flower Necklace but then you might think that I am only calling it big or questioning its bigness. Let there be no doubt. These flowers are BIG.
The night before, I told Robert, "Tomorrow I'm wearing my bird shirt with my teal skirt." He said, "Teal skirt. So it's a bird shirt with a bird skirt." Yep. I wondered what kind of teal (which is a type of duck) the color was named for because I couldn't think of a teal in the US that has quite that shade. The blue-winged teal has blue, the green-winged teal has green, the cinnamon teal...well, you get the idea. But through the magic of the Interwebs, here ya go.
