These are experiments, so perhaps not the most flattering or fashion forward outfits I've ever posted, but I liked them well enough that I wore them to work (where work means sitting at my cubicle at the museum and dissertating), and I'm really enjoying experimenting in my (and my husband's, haha) wardrobe.

1) Monday - Y'all were so enthusiastic about green last week that I decided to try this pullover of hubs that I'd originally passed over. It's got a green pattern running through a brown?black?navy? (I genuinely can't tell) background. I paired it with olive trousers and brown Chelsea boots. This all felt pretty west, so for some east balance I added an old silk chiffon scarf (that never gets worn b/c I have so little green in my wardrobe), my Granny's jade pendant, and these awesome Indian dangly hoop earrings.

2) Tuesday/today - so I cut off the top of this dress as you all recommended awhile back. This left the skirt literally falling off my nonexistant butt/hips, so I've got it pinned with 4 safety pins - let's hope they hold! Frye boots, denim/chambray button up and warm brown wool sweater. This felt very schoolmarm on the prairie and a bit more costumey than I usually like, but I went with it anyway. To add some east I tried a long strand of pearls and then jade, but they just added to the schoolmarm look, so I went with a lapiz choker (with a chain extender) instead. Oh, and silver ohm earrings too. I would have liked this much better if that pullover wasn't three sizes too big, but it's what I have to work with for now.

Oh, and Husband totally busted me this weekend. He was all, "Didn't I used to have some wool sweaters??" I had to admit I had most of them down at my apartment and promised I'd bring some back this coming weekend!

Thanks for looking (and reading that epic, if you did). Suggestions/comments always welcome!
