The other day I went for a walk. #1 is what I saw.
#2 is what I wore the next day to mimic the landscape. Um...at least while I was indoors. Couldn't wear the jeans out on my walk that day, alas, and had to change, or risk making myself a complete mess.
But the photo shows how fitting pastels in winter are -- at least in my part of the world. We tend to dress in darks in winter -- and obviously, there are practical reasons for that. But really, it can be very refreshing to mimic what we see. And the practice calls us to attention in a good way. I may -- and I do -- complain sometimes that winter is dull and grey. And sometimes, it truly is --- but obviously, at least on some afternoons, it is not!!
This outfit is really just a version of #3, which was in turn an attempt at #4, Angie's classics and pastels ensemble.
I was much taken with Ornella's series of landscape dressing posts a while back. Thanks for the inspiration, Ornella -- and Mother Nature!
