Friday Goings On...
in the late Bernie Mac voice....
Happy Friday Everyone and wanted to Thank You All again for the Beautiful Compliments on my skirt.
I really like the fit of NL 6874 and want to make another one, this time trying my hand at a color block skirt. Ok... I figured why not play with some bold colors that I have in the closet.
Morning scenario in my house: Donned tailored denim trousers, tangerine tank, banana yellow cardigan and an animal print handbag...all was good. Headed downstairs where everyone was having breakfast... literally everyone lifted their head and before saying Good morning.. said What The Hell.... simultaneously.... and the jokes started. My response was whateva...you don't know what's in style. Of course, my daughter quickly responded with if being a running target is your thing... work it mama duke. Headed back upstairs and I looked in the mirror, then I started swaying... shook my head and stared in the mirror again... more swaying... then it hit me... my colors were blinding me... lol. I ended up taking off the cardigan and found a coordinating cardigan for the tank...lol
If anyone knows me, I am not a trendy person, my motto is get dressed based on me, and mostly incorporate a lil bit of this and a lil bit of that into my wardrobe. However, I am really liking the color blocking trend. So with time to kill this morning, I pulled out various fabrics to use for color blocking, but for the life of me couldn't decide on a trio of colors to put together... Umm yeah.. and to think I want to color block. I had two sets of colors, seaform/apricot/peach and the other was eggplant/lavender/lilac... stood there cluless... before I headed out the door, I settled on a knit houndstooth, black stretch charmeuse & red stretch cotton... but my subsconscious really would like something bolder...
As I headed into the city, I wondered if there is a strategy to color blocking....
made it to the city and was still pondering the thought and decided I needed to clear my mind and engaged in some shoe porn. Made a pit stop in 9West this morning and surprise, the sales clerk informed me that the shoes I wanted are now on sale.... wooo hooo. Thoughts of color blocking... lost in a sea of shoe porn...lol
Also, purchased two rings from the street vendor... I love his costume jewelry
I Look to you... (in Whitney Houston voice) ... is there a strategy to color blocking?
