my outfit: coral sweater!

I mentioned earlier this week that I found this sweater at Old Navy, and to be honest I wish I would have bought one in every color! It is so soft and comfy - I just love it. I decided to go up a size for a more relaxed look as that seems to be trendy lately rather than the tight fitting tops of years past (not that there is anything wrong with a fitted top... I still like those too). It's fun to play around with proportions in clothing, I'm glad I got the bigger size. Feels like I am borrowing a worn in sweater from my husband or brother.

Lately the sun has FINALLY been shining... turns out it easier to take photos on the cloudy days and lighten the photo with photoshop than deal with the glare. I'm no pro, that's for sure.



I couldn't resist throwing this scarf on today... gold jewelry would have been fun as well. And I did experiment with it at first. But this scarf just goes so perfect for a spring time look. It's a $1 thrift store find, by the way. I think it was originally one of those old lady hair scarves, as it is polyester.



And can we discuss hair!?!? So I went with the blunt bangs and you saw them first here... but I don't think they "fit" my face that way. So I tried them side-swept a bit today (just like I always have). I like this better. Does that mean I am wimping out on the look? Hmmmm. I hate the be the old lady stuck in a hair rut. The troubles of growing old...



And it just feels weird in my time of life to not be able to "figure out" my hair. Sheesh. I should have these types of things figured out by now it seems. Enough of my rant.

Do you like the $20 sweater?
