my outfit: blue brown green brown blue...

Blue, brown, green, brown, blue... got that? Here's the run down:

Blue cardigan.
Brown blazer.
Green top.
Brown boots.
Blue jeans.

I do believe that my layering prowess (or lack thereof...) has reached new heights this winter.  I go in my closet and basically come out when I can't move my arms any more.  Ha, I kid. I can still move my arms!


Speaking of... a lot of you ask when I layer (like the blazer/jean jacket duo from last week) if it gets tight on my arms, shoulders, etc. And the answer to that is NO. I mean, well, sometimes, but if it's too tight I change it up.  So that means I choose thinner layers for underneath and make sure that my top layers are a little roomier.  You know like the bulky sweater or the snug sweater you own... those get paired with the looser blazer or snugger jacket... respectively.  If I can't be comfortable in an outfit I don't wear it.


Basically there are a couple of ways you can go with this many layers... you can be all fancy dancy and carefully choose textures, patterns and solids that all sing and dance together.  Or you can just go all in the same color group and call it good.  Guess which way I went? I'm no pro, I just like to stay warm.


What's new people? Are you surviving the winter doldrums? I'm dying over here... pass the vitamin D.
