Star Light Star Bright

I love taking a colour palette and playing with dark and light versions of it. This week, it was blue and green.

I started off last weekend with this outfit, and loved it. All day. And wanted to wear it the next day. I think it's the bright/light colours are just so fresh this time of year. I didn't quite do the "light" on all the colours, as I felt that the darker cardigan added some needed contrast.

Contrast came easily with the dark version! I had seen a girl wear a very similar outfit the week before - only with a plaid trench, and bare (but incredibly tattooed) legs. I went with her flat oxford look, but when I walked past the mirror just inside our apartment building door, I decided I would have liked the outfit better with my black riding boots.

Double Wide

On the opposite side of the jean spectrum from the skinnies, we have the wide leg jean. There is, of course, the classic trouser jean I have worn plenty of times. It's a professional jean, if you believe in such a thing.

And of course, there is the super casual wide leg jean. These were another Mom purchase - $2 from Winners. Not always the most attractive, but these are so thin and comfortable, I consider them the fancy version of pajamas.
