Monday, May 4, 2009--An Outfit for the Ages (Note--This Title is Sarcastic with a Capital "S")!

This is "meh." My hubby loves to say that word, meh. I like that word, too, a good descriptive word when blah is too much and fine is too complimentary. (Although oddly enough my husband did not describe this as "meh." Maybe he was asleep when he took the pic.)

I think overall it is a fine outfit for just living...but there was no real oomph to this outfit...and I like oomph. Ah, well. :) Can't have an olive green Victoria cami day everyday, right?

The individual pieces are: J. Crew striped tee from four years ago or so; cream and sage green Dotted Cardigan from Charter Club (Macy's--Spring 2009); J. Crew cream Skinny Belt (Summer 2009); Dockers dark brown cords (Fall 2008--by the way, it was kind of gross on Monday--hence the cords in late spring); and J. Crew iridescent guava Salina flats (Fall 2008).

I think the pieces are all great by themselves. Except the Dockers. I, once again, have fallen victim to wearing pants that are too large for me. They make me look like a sack on the bottom-half. Sigh. My retirement pile is HUGE! I think if I had worn this top-half with a cute pencil skirt, this outfit would have been more "wow" than "meh." :) NEXT TIME!

BTW, I have some time today, so I should be able to get two more posts in...and both contain reviews--one of the J. Crew magnolia necklace (Summer 2009) and one of the Boden red and aqua striped V-neck cardigan (Spring 2009).
