From My Closet - November 25th, 2011

So, it was my birthday yesterday, and in between getting cards, and calls, and lovenotes on Facebook and whatnot, I slipped out of the house for half the morning, and perused my precious Forever 21, and basically bought the store picked up a few things.

Like this cute little skirt, which has more of a strié effect, than a stripe. It's got reds, yellows, blues, and purples in it, but it reads as a lively pink. It's stretchy, and not too short. I think I'm in love with it.

I love it with brown - boots and sweater... I could have put pink at the neck, but that could get a bit matchy-matchy in a hurry. (Anyway, there's a hint o' pink in the plaid on the purse.) I bought this grey shawl with the pom-poms several years ago from the place that rhymes with Sinners, which I chose it for the colour versatility, and for the fun of it. I mean, pom-poms can be tres adorable in the right application. The drape of it also makes the neckline appear less comely, since the V-neck is so deep.

It's got a medium-weight to it, so I reckon it'll do well in the spring too. I'm bare lagged in the pic, but I'd wear brown fishnet stockings with it. Or even a deep purple. Got fishnets? You should. They make EVERYBODY'S legs look better, I swear. Try some.
