As I ran a few errands today, I decided to wear a cream cotton sweater with a pair of white jeans, which I think are courtesy of MaryK, from our swap, last year. I kept it simple, since I was also running around looking for some muted floral denim pants, so I put on a pair of animal-print ballet flats.

The second outfit was a taupe pleather & metallic jacket that I seldom wear. I wore it with my Gap navy silk-cotton crew sweater, Zara navy camo pants and Sam Edelman Petty boots.

The other outfit was from February, when it was a bit colder and I wore my cream Gap sweater (happily Angie's sweater twin), Gap 1969 jeans, Nordstrom leather cuff, print scarf and SE boots. The other variation is with the Gap BF jeans in a lighter wash.

The last two photos were from early February with an aqua-navy striped top, teal scarf, Gap jeans and Aerosole blue suede boots (happily Inge's boot twin).

I think I'm ready for more color these days and will be posting a few photos to get your opinion on some travel wear for a four-day trip to London and a seven-day cruise to Spain and France, once there. I'm really looking forward to it and have a few ideas, however, packing with the help and wisdom from YLF will make it much easier! I'm excited to say that I have the Banana Republic winter storm trench coat coming in a week, in two sizes, and I hope one works out. I thought, after Angie posted this gem under the Finds section, that this would be a perfect coat for traveling. I do have a black trench coat, but the lighter-colored one just may be the ticket for late May in Europe.

Thanks for looking at these very casual neutrals. After seeing what I've been wearing, I think it's time to bring on the color and get a bit more creative. One way is to read the Forum, because I always get my best ideas from you! That is the absolute truth.
