Outfit creation really is a funny thing and each one has it’s own evolution…

Today, I thought about all the ALL BLACK looks I envy on Pinterest…

And wondered could I do this?  

Clearly, my intention didn’t hold and I added color and pattern…

It all went south when my new black dress from Jane.com with it’s split collar didn’t suit my desire for 

this below freezing day, so out came the scarf for warmth..

The scarf prompted the thought that now would be a good time to try 

adding a necklace with a scarf, something I also had been wanting to attempt…

At least I succeeded with that intention… 

Since I had already broken rank and added the hounds-tooth pattern, 

I saw no reason to choose a solid black purse…

I guess an all black look will have to wait for another day… 

I actually thought I’d like to attempt it in warmer weather when I can expose leg or decollete , otherwise the all look is much harsher and more hard rock than my personality and doesn’t feel quite right… 

That still leaves my desire  for an all white look for winter to attempt….

Gratitude

I am grateful for a fun lunch with a friend I haven’t been very good at keeping up with….

I am grateful that my sciatica held out ok and allowed me to be pain free for the long lunch…

I am grateful that my son put away his laundry while I was gone…

I am grateful for warm heat, not taking this for granted after my Ashley told me hers wasn’t working last night…

I am grateful that Ashley now has heat…
