Outfit Post - Be Mine

Sorry to have been a bit MIA here, darling ones.  I came down with an awful flu about three weeks ago that I couldn't seem to shake..and then it turned into pneumonia (yuck!).  I'm finally on the mend and starting to feel human again, so I was moved to post my outfit for the day :)

Create 365 is moving right along, though at a slower pace than I anticipated before getting ill!  I have been working on writing my very first fair isle knitting pattern for a pair of wristwarmers and I hope to complete them and have the pattern up here on the blog very soon.

Wishing you all a love filled Valentine's Day!

Outfit Post - Free as a Bird

I like birds..That is all.

Outfit Post - Monochrome

I love color (mostly red, as I'm sure you've guessed by now) but all colors are wonderful. 

I love to mix and match, pair them in different unexpected combinations...but after a while, I find myself using the same color combos over and over again.  When that happens, it's time to "cleanse my palette" with some good old neutrals. 

After a day or so of not worrying about color pairing, new combinations suddenly become clear to me again.  I'm looking forward to spending the weekend gathering color ideas to see what fun pairs I can come up with next!

Outfit Post - Peacock

I built this entire outfit around this pair of tights.  True story.

Outfit Post - Bobbed Hair and Coral Scarf

It's been a while since I did an outfit post!  Bet you were forgetting what I looked like ;-)  Well, here I am with my brand new haircut.  A little shorter than I'm comfortable with, but after it grows a little, I think it will work just fine.

I also finished up my coral scarf using this pattern.  It's VERY simple and great if you just want something to work on without having to thing about it.  I may try it next with a bigger hook and larger yarn for a more tree branch-like effect.

Outfit Post - Rainy Days and Mondays

Hooray for haircuts!  I'm so relieved to have my hair back in some semblance of order.  I always THINK I want to grow it out again, but the truth is, I really love the ease and tidiness of a bob ;-)

Outfit Post - Humidity is my Nemesis

I almost didn't do an outfit post today...that's how crazy my hair was.  The humidity around these parts today is outrageous.  I'm pretty sure I could wring myself out.  As soon as my poor hair gets the slightest hint of moisture...POOF!  Thankfully, I have plans for a haircut on Friday ;)

Outfit Post - XOXO

Most days I decide what I'm going to wear the night before..some days I dress last minute in a flash just before I run out the door.  Today was one of those days (hence the damp hair ;-)  Fortunately, I have a few standbys that are easy to throw on and accessorize!

Outfit Post - The Exception

I'm making an exception to my "no outfit posts in above 80 degree weather" rule because I'm not wearing a dress today and that all by itself is an exception ;)  In general, I wear pants maybe once or twice a month (unless I'm working in the yard).  I don't find them particularly comfortable, but if I can find them in fun colors or styles, I'll wear them once in a while.  I just couldn't pass up purple pants :)

Outfit Post - Under the Sea

This top is soooo comfy.  It's very light and floaty, so perfect for a warm summer day.  The thick lace on the bottom reminds me of a net, so I decided to accessorize with sea-like accents for a mermaid-like feel.

Outfit post - Rainy Day Pseudo PJ's

We have had 4 days of rain.  FOUR DAYS.  And it doesn't look to be lightening up anytime soon.  Today, I woke up and didn't want to get out of my jammies, so I got dressed in the next best thing.  A giant sweater (which I forgot to mention was from Kohls).  Kinda feels like I'm wearing my robe ;)

Outfit Post - Geek Chic

Awwwwkward.  That's how I'm feeling today.  My eyes are a mess from my allergies, so I have to wear my glasses.  Don't get me wrong, I love my glasses (I even have them in several colors) but I only like to wear them when I have planned them as an accessory, not when I *have* to.  But a girl's gotta see ;-)

..and, I can always pretend I'm Velma from Scooby-Doo :)

Outfit Post - Le Mustache

Mustache.  'Nuff said.
