Today’s Everyday Fashion: Stripes

Posted on:

Inspiration: CoutureCandy Am I feeling better since yesterday’s post? Not completely, although I really appreciate the encouragement, quotes and humor that many of you took the time to respond with. There’s something powerful about any shared experience, just take me and Diane Kruger: outfit twinsies. (Kind of?) I tried my version with hot pink shoes and it was not cute, so I switched to nude shoes and a hot pink clutch instead. Would you wear today’s combo?

When it came time to take pictures yesterday… I wasn’t feeling it. It’s never easy an feat (that part of blogging is uncomfortable for me), but yesterday was a new level. So I forced myself to dance. What else can you do…

It’s such a subdued color, and since 90{7e7155034beeb69bdcffad7a0fcb61881b0a9449e483be79ff807a34ba859e1f} of my shoes are nude it seems to go with just about anything I wear.
