#NatureTwinning Part 41
Orangutan--Thursday, 3/8/18
I had wanted to buy some new full-length (not ankle) pants, but didn't really want a trouser silhouette. That was hard to shop for, until it occurred to me to look at colored denim. These perfectly-fitting burgundy jeans are great--even though they're denim, they don't look very different from normal cotton pants, just thicker and more structured.
For their debut, I went with a bit of a coral/burgundy/orangy-leopard mix up with a black and white base. Not my favorite combination of all time, but I did like having the bright scarf to punch things up.
*Burgundy jeans (JCP), $22.49
Outfit cost per wear (OCPW): $36.88
This guy has a more classic take on orange with black/brown.

Rays at Scott Aquarium--Friday, 3/9/18
A Friday outfit in shades of blue and not a speck of denim to be seen. What? I retired my denim skirt and started replacing it with this new navy skirt.
A monochromatic outfit works best with various shades and textures (see how I use google to find other random bloggers to back up my assertions?), and I definitely have that going.
I sort of amuse myself how I live in these quilted/puffy vests, which I am content to add to pretty much any work outfit. Putting the casual in business casual all season long.
*Navy skirt (Walmart), $10.50
OCPW: $20.94
The tie-dye scarf puts me in mind of ocean waves, which I think these rays would appreciate if they were into the subtleties of human clothing.

In other news...I do like a monochrome outfit on occasion. However, no matter if I were to dedicate myself completely to this style, I could never be the Queen of Monochrome. That title is already taken by Queen Elizabeth II. Her coat collection totally rocks. I think she must literally have every single color. The neon green was a bit of a surprise!
