easy as 1-2-3

I like this outfit and here is why.

1.  Pants with pockets*
2.  New flowery shift from JCPenny**
3.  Mustard sweater***


* These are boy-cut pants from the Gap and they have a minor pattern of grey and black and so they tend to go with everything.  I got them on super-sale and I wish now that I would have purchased other others as well.  Pockets keep my hands happy when I am at work; they give my hands something to do when I am standing, talking to someone or walking down the hallway.  When I wear pants that do not have pockets it is awkward for me.  I rarely keep anything in pockets except for a hair clip or binder.
** I am loving JCPenny (and they have had a same-sex couple in an ad which is a bonus).  It is like a Forever21 for people in their 30's.  Like the fact that my siblings and myself come from my parents having relations, I try not to think about where cheap cute clothes come from.  I originally bought this to go with my red pants, but today is not a red pants day.  I have to ramp up for those pants.  Also, this shirt is sheer, fun and flowy with a touch of grandma. 
*** This sweater I believe is from Target.  Mustard is the best color - neutral and splashy at the same time.  It seems to go with everything.  I could have gone obvious and worn a red or green sweater over this shirt, but I think mustard makes the flowers stand out more.  Mustard!
