There was a conversation yesterday about weather or not it was OK to wear a blue top with blue jeans. I do this all.the.time. Head to toe blue is all but a signature look for me, as seen in Pics 1 and 3.

1 - The last of my pilfering from the husband - this heathered blue cashmere pullover is heavenly, but my allergy sensitive skin requires a layer underneath, so worn over a light blue linen blouses. Navy skinnies and brown riding boots and a navy Macintosh over it all. Should have used a longer chain for that ammonite pendent, but otherwise, I liked this a lot.

2 - Third wearing of husband's grey wool pullover that I've simply decided is now mine! Worn over a LS T with black skinnies and my "newsboy" laceup boots. Over it all is this teal velvet blazer, which I never wear b/c it's too big ... even with the bulky underlayers you can see it's too big, but it makes me feel so ... decadent and 70s-tastic that I didn't care. I was actually going for a sort of Edwardian feel with the velvet and boots, but hey, I'll take 70s. Worn with faceted quartz beads and a blue floral hair scarf, which I didn't actually like with the outfit.

3 - This pic makes me want to throw out my entire wardrobe and just wear cobalt only and forever. The baggy tunic over navy skinnies isn't a wildly flattering silhouette on me as it emphasizes my top-heavyness, but who cares, the color make up for all shortcomings, even the fact that I'm too damn old for pigtails and mary janes (they are navy Docs and so wonderfully comfortable that I can't give them up). Also wearing one of my favorite necklaces, this lapiz choker, and favorite earrings (hummingbird skulls). Black cord jacket for outerwear.

Comments and suggestions always welcome.
