MNG Mish Mash

Today's outfit felt a little strange.  It was another warm day, but slightly chilly in the morning - autumn is coming.

I neglected to lay out the day's duds the night before and dressed in a bit of a rush and I think it shows.  The outfit seems to be a mish-mash of styles.

Pink Calico: MNG Mish-Mash

I feel there are way too many lines, distractions around the torso area by way of the ruffle-neck t-shirt, v-neck tunic with bow, pleated cardigan and self-tie skirt.

Good thing I did not have a scarf - it would've been waaaay too much.

But at least it was comfy.

Today I wore:

v-neck tunic ... MNG
red cardigan ... jessica
grey self-tie skirt ... chapter one
grey tights ... calcedonia
black shoes ... ?

A Visible Doctor's Visit

Today being Visible Monday, but also Visit the Doctor day, I wanted to wear something visible but accessible.  I wore lots of layers: several tanks, a couple of cardigans and a big fluffy scarf. It looked like this:
Pink

The skirt is the same one which I got for New Year's - I find the cut is not as straight as I like, but that's small potatoes - it's comfy.

The orangey-red/white tank is a Danskin tank from Walmart (no excuses, it was cheap and I liked the print).  I really like this tank; it's super-comfy because it is fitted but stretchy like most dancewear.

The red cardigan is from Sears from a couple of years ago.  It had been marked down repeatedly till it got to about $6.  I like it for the ruffly detail around the button front.
Pink
It's quite hard to match reds and oranges and I've always marvelled at how well these two items go together.

And finally a look at my Spanish army boots:

Don't worry, I changed shoes when I got to work.  I've been wearing these boots sooo much this year, it'll soon be time to get another pair.
