“Blue and green should never be seen, except with something in between.” Like many pieces of advise, or rules, your mileage may vary. This blue and green experiment happened kind of by accident. Per my usual Sunday routine, I was putting together my outfits for the week, when I noticed the first two I’d compiled …
It’s been a while since my last what I wore post. So far, we’ve had a beautiful fall with temperatures staying above freezing. Flannels and tweeds are out, and I haven’t had to wear a coat over top. I have lost the natural morning light, as I shared in my indoor photography post. Daylight savings …
