orange

This orangy dress was a Goodwill find and it is a fine corduroy and it has pockets and it is a great fall/winter dress.  There are several ways I could approach the topic of this dress and I am uncertain what angle to take on today’s post...  Here are some options:

1.  About color: I paired the dress with blue tights, a blue slip and blue shoes.  I really try hard never ever to wear black and orange.  Why?  My high school experience is over and I no longer have to show school spirit (go bears!).  However, I do feel a bit bright for a Monday morning and I sort of feel like a Denver broncos fan.

2.  About the cold:   Ok, it was 40 degrees out today and I do question my choice of covering when the top half of me got the royal treatment of a down jacket while the bottom half had just tights separating me from nature.  I did make it a goal to wear clothes that are less realistic so I guess I am succeeding in this today even if I am super duper cold.

3.  About the slip: Although I grew up with Madonna and the fact that it is ok to have your undergarments show, it feels strange to me to have my blue slip show so much.  I am working through this discomfort today.
