For the last day of scarfs, I tried my red jeans with stripes. Alas, the top is too short and bugged me. (I segregated my woven tops based on length - I think it's time to do the same with my tees. Wonder if I'll have any that are long enough for my pants...)

So I changed into my paisley/jacket combo from earlier this week. It felt so happy with the red jeans! Then I took my kids to the children's museum, and was startled that in a venue filled with Moms on the go (well, and Grandmas on the go), there was exactly one other person there (a daycare worker) in skinny jeans. And no non-blue jeans in sight. I was the only adult there wearing bright colors! I felt a bit like a walking crayon.

But hey, I was comfortable, and easy for my kids to find. And I felt fine, if a little OTT. If anything, I wished I'd done my hair :/

Wasn't it just a couple of weeks ago that my dressing not like everyone else in Von Maur made me feel so awful? Today, it actually made me feel somehow more cool... (Not that I didn't have a few moments where I wished I looked like the other Moms - I almost wondered if I looked like a slave to fashion. Wouldn't that be weird?!)
