Leaving the Dark Side
After a week of black, gray, and white, I thought you might seeing a little bright color. I decided to do a remake of one of most pinned photos from Pinterest. 
To be honest, I’m not sure I am feeling this outfit. I love the check shirt, and the bright cobalt blue sweater, but it almost hurts my eyes. Lol! I think I still have on my dark color eyes. It may take me a day or to to adjust.
The shirt is a Jones New York and I have had it for years. I liked this one from J. Crew, it is just a different color. I bought the blue sweater from TJ Maxx, but since I was on J. Crew, I found this one that is similar. I love J. Crew, I just never get to shop there. The next item that stands out about this outfit, is the necklace. It is called A Girls Best Friend necklace from Premier. Here is a video that shows all the different ways this necklace can be worn. Holy moly, I need a instruction manuel.
My jeans are from Old Navy. Since I received flack for wearing distressed jeans in the earlier rendition, I went with regular jeans. A red Dooney & Bourke purse adds another dimension to the color scheme.
These blue pumps are from Old Navy, but they are a couple years old. I don’t wear them too often because they are not the most comfortable pair of shoes I own.
I thought you might like to see what I did over the weekend. There is actually a movie being filmed in Grundy over the next couple of months named Believe. They were in town to film the Christmas parade that was held this weekend. This is the float that the Grundy Woman’s Club entered in the parade, along with our local Sheriff. It was a beautiful day with temperatures in the 70’s, so the film crew had to ask the spectators to wear coats and gloves to make it look like Christmas time.
Are you having nice weather? It is a little strange to be wearing short sleeves this close to Christmas. My daughter, that is in from Alaska, is about to melt. Haha! She doesn’t do “warm” very well.
I have a surprise for one lucky reader. Nothing huge, but I wanted to say thank you to my very first email subscriber. She signed up for email notifications two months ago! So, I am going to send a special little thank to her. Kim, you will be getting an email from me soon. You could be next, I have a new number in my mind. The person who signs up, and is the number I have in mind, will also be receiving a prize. I’m in the giving mood:)
I have added a subscription button to the blog. I would appreciate it if you would take the time to sign up. You will then be notified by email when a new post is made.
I love following your posts. Question. How big is your closet? You must share pictures.
What a nice outfit! May I ask you what products you use in your hair? I have this same haircut and mine never looks as good as yours!
Connie, thanks for the compliment. I am sure your hair looks great. However, I don’t use any products other than shampoo and conditioner. I have tried root boosts, but they never seemed to do much for my hair. My stylist does tin my hair, it is so thick, and I think that make shorter pieces in with the longer pieces. So, that makes it stand up, or look even thicker. I am so glad you are following along with me.??
Just discovered your blog and was scrolling through your posts when i ran across this one. You look great! The colors and style are striking!
Thanks SC!
I think the blue looks beautiful on you. And you should wear the distressed jeans!!! We have no snow and its above zero so it’s been quite a warm fall her in BC Canada.
This is a great outfit! The bright blue looks so pretty on you.
My husband has been to Grundy lots of times. He’s in the explosives/mining business. 🙂
Stacey, how cool is that! That whole, “small world” thing. You will have to ask him if he knows my husband’s best friend, Virlo Stiltner from Austin Sales. It is an explosives company.
The blue looks fab on you and we had temps near 80 today here in Georgia! I am a shopping fool and my daughter doesn’t like shopping either, thank goodness for friends that do.
I am enjoying your posts! I love checks but usually reserve them for spring and summer but you’ve inspired me to try this look over the winter. Here in New York we’re all about the black and gray but that cobalt blue is stunning. Going to pay Old Navy a visit just to check out pants!
I think that blue really pops on you! What a gorgeous outfit and I enjoyed seeing the parade as well!!
