Red Beige Black

Black pants, ornate beige vest, deep red polo. Nice for the holidays.

Beige and Blue

Here's a very long short sleeved sweater with big big buttons! I'm wearing it over a long sleeved T shirt and beige pants.

White and Beige

A lacy short sleeve sweater, belted and worn over a beige polo. Jeans.

Gray: Dark and Light

Light gray pants and dark gray blazer, belted. Here's my daughter's shell necklace again!

Black Red White

Here's a lacy white vest worn over black pants and a red polo with white collar. I knotted a scarf in front in order to balance out the look with a little more red. People say I look Christmassy.

Denim Blue Hoodie Sweater

Here I've got on a long denim blue hoodie sweater. I'm wearing a textured scarf that coordinates with the Fair Isle-style detailing. On the bottom, plain ol' jeans.

Beige Red Black

with scarf

Coral Hoodie

Knit hoodie by Danskin. Feels great. White cami and black pants. That scarf I made that Kendall likes.

Black and Blue

Black pants and polo with denim shirt. I've wrapped a scarf around my waist as a belt.

Lacy Sweater

Here's a lacy sweater with wide sleeves (which I admit looks more pink than red) worn over a white shirt, along with blue jeans and a homemade scarf. Like most of my clothes, this sweater is a thrift-store find -- got it at ARES for $7.50.

A Ralph Lauren Sweater

Very sporty look today -- a black and cream Ralph Lauren sweater with a red racing stripe down the sleeve. With blue jeans.

Black and Blue

I'm pushing the boundaries of what counts as 'denim blue' with this sweater. It's another thrift store find, and was just so cute I had to buy it! I'm wearing it with black pants and a blue patterned scarf.

Creamy

A soft creamy sweater over a warm beige polo with khaki's on the bottom. A leather belt is my only accessory today.

Coral Jacket

A coral jacket with white shirt and jeans. I've got some bling on -- several strands of wire and leaves, for which I've gotten several compliments. It's an inexpensive necklace I picked up on sale at WalMart.

Stripes

Very casual look today: a striped shirt over a red sweater, blue jeans and a knit scarf.

Black with Flowers

Here I'm experimenting with mixing prints. Both skirt and scarf are prints of beige flowers on a black background; the skirt flowers are large and somewhat random in color while the scarf flowers are tiny and uniform. Also, a white T shirt and beige blazer with 3/4 length sleeves. The beige of this jacket is rather subdued. I think a brighter beige would work better but this is all I've got.

Red White and Black

A red boyfriend sweater over a short-sleeved white button-down shirt; black pants; patterned scarf. The light from the window is so interesting; I'm letting it wash out half my face.

Red over Beige with Blue

You've seen this red Evie sweater before. Today I've got on a long-sleeved beige polo with a blue patterned scarf. A pair of blue jeans forms the base.

Black and Gray

Today I've got on a short gray skirt with gray hose and knee-high boots; a black polo shirt under a black blazer, and a striped scarf.

Red and Beige

Here's a lovely wrap sweater, deep red, with an interesting collar that I don't know how to describe. Not a shawl collar or a v-neck; there is a fair amount of fabric gathered up there which does not fold over the way a shawl collar would. Anyway, I'm wearing it with a beige camisole and beige pants.

Black and Gray

I'm wearing black pants exclusively these days as I can't find my beige ones. They might all be in the mending pile. Tonight I've topped my pants with a black wrap sweater layered over a gray camisole top. I'm wearing a black and gray scarf that I purchased at the Dollar Store, and I'm showing off my red fingernails.

Black with Polka Dots

A black ribbed knit sweater, 3/4 length sleeves, with polka dot silk collar and cuffs. Black pants and clunky black shoes. Pearl earrings and necklace reiterate the 'dots' theme.

Beige Beige/Black Black

Black pants, beige suede-like shirt, worn over a shirt of very fine gingham, beige and black, with 3/4 sleeves. Not a very colorful look today but that's fine. I've got to make myself some more accessories that are not scarves -- some kind of ruffle on a chain would be great.

Beige with Jeans and Scarf

Fitted beige jacket, blue jeans, silky red scarf of my own making (I'm having so much fun making these scarves) and brightly colored L.L. Bean shoes!

Red and Black

I love this red jacket, made by G-2000. It's very nicely made, obviously high quality. I got it at the thrift store on their 99cent sale day. Also have on black scarf and black pants.

Beige with Jeans and a Scarf

Blue jeans, with a long short sleeved beige sweater worn over a white t shirt. I could have belted this sweater but I chose to wear a big ol' scarf instead, which I have tied Boy Scout style.

Black and Gray

Here is a very interesting Chinese peasant style shirt. It's dress length, made of black linen with gray silk panels in the sides and sleeves. It's got long ties that wrap around the waist and tie in the back. I'm wearing it over skinny black pants and clunky black shoes. I am wearing no accessories other than silver earrings so as not to detract from the unusual styling of the shirt. That's my exercise ball behind me. It has sprung a slow leak and is getting smaller by the minute.

Black White Red Beige

(What horrible hair!) I'm wearing four of my six colors today. Black blazer -- fitted, with a little buckle in the back, white polo, beige jeans, with a cool knitted red scarf.

White Flowers on Black

Black pants, black shirt, over a lacy black shirt with white flowers. This outfit is crying out for accessories! I meant to wear a scarf but left the house w/o. Boring boring boring. I found a really cool necklace on Etsy that I will attempt to copy -- ruffled silk on a chain. It would look pretty cool with this.

Blue and Gray

Today I'm wearing gray pants, long blue polo, gray and blue plaid short fleece jacket, with patterned scarf. The pants are a bit too fat and short. I won't be keeping them. I love this fleece jacket and have had it forever. Perhaps it's a tad too big for me, though? It looks kinda baggy.

Halloween: Vampire

We're having a costume party at work this year -- Hooray! They are always so much fun. Amazingly enough, my costume is mostly red and black. I'm wearing a long black skirt, a glamorous white shirt, a dark velvet brocade vest, red tie, and black lace cape with hood. Everyone loves this cape which I made a few years ago for my daughter who was experimenting with the goth look. My make up is pretty exaggerated -- pale face powder, dark lips and eyes. I've got goop in my hair to make it extra curly, and I've sprayed it with gray.

Black and Gray

It's snowing outside! I've chosen a fluffy short gray sweater today, with a winter scarf of gray/dark gray paisley, plus your basic black pants. The sweater is a bit low-cut for work so I've got a white camisole on underneath. I'm letting the cami peek out at the waistline.

Black and Gray

Stripes! I'm wearing a vertically striped button-down shirt over a horizontally striped polo. The outer shirt is quite long; it comes down past the hips. I've buttoned the bottom two buttons. A scarf would look nice with this, but I've worn a scarf the past two days so I'm choosing a scarf-less look today.

Black and Gray

I'm sticking with the black/gray color scheme this week. Today I'm wearing a gray sweater, which I've belted as that is the current fashion, and a long black skirt. I've also got on a scarf that I made myself. My daughter loved this scarf and begged to have it but I hard-heartedly refused.

Black and Gray

Black pants, black blazer, with gray polo and gray striped scarf. Both blazer and scarf are lightly striped though you can't tell from this pic. I got a haircut this weekend and am very happy with it.

Beige/Denim

Here I'm wearing pale beige pants and a darker beige polo shirt. My jeans shirt has a zippered breast pocket. I made this skinny littlescarf myself. It's finger-knitting of a shiny cream-colored string. I wore beige and denim every day this week!

Beige/Denim

Beige pants, white long sleeved T, topped with a denim vest. I like the details on this vest -- it's long and belted, with a black velvet collar and breast pocket details.

Beige/Denim

Denim skirt, white shirt, beige vest which I have belted.

Beige/Denim

Blue sweater, blue jeans, beige polo and a scarf.

Beige/Denim

Today I've got on a pair of flared jeans, a white polo and a long beige jacket. The jacket is fitted, unlined and has some (fake) pocket detail. I'll just say it right out -- this is not an expensive jacket. I'm wearing the long skinny scarf I made several weeks ago. This week, BTW, is gonna be a beige and denim week--just to set myself a challenge.

I made another scarf

Red, white and black, with a soft cotton scarf I made last night out of a pair of thrift-store pants. My daughter Karen loved this scarf and kept begging to have it. I hard-heartedly refused.

Polka Dots!

Fitted shirt in a feminine pattern of red with white polka dots; topped with a black shirt (just polyester, but nicely done--feels real thick and silky) and jeans.

Dark Jeans Blazer

Here I've got on a fitted blazer with wide openings at the sleeves, also beige pants, white V-neck T, and a scarf. I usually roll or push up long sleeves but can't with these; the wide sleeve openings aren't conducive to that.

Stripes and Flowers

It's black and beige today -- a striped T worn with black pants and blazer, topped with a long skinny flowered scarf.

A Sweater Blazer

I love the maroon sweater blazer which I picked up for 99C at my favorite store, The Salvation Army. It's got a small cable knit and a row of buttons at the wrist. I'm wearing it with striped jeans and a white polo. I think that a plain scoop T-shirt would have been better but didn't have time this morning to be try on a bunch of different shirts.

Red and Beige and Leather Boots

Here's a beige polo and a short red skirt. I've got tan leather boots and a tan leather belt. These boots are so cute! They have heels, though, which KILL my back.

A Bit of Animal Print

Animals prints go in and out, don't they? Apparently they are back in this season. I may try something daring later -- i.e., something made entirely of leopard skin, but for right now it's a print collar only. Black pants, white polo, topped with a new piece: a dark gray sweater with a leopard print color.

Red and Blue

Jeans and a red shirt jacket. I've got a beige polo on, and chose a blue/beige scarf to tie the look together.

Denim Jacket, Beige Pants

Pants a smidge tight. They are size 7/8! Have you noticed that junior sizes are holding steady but misses sizes are getting smaller? In high school, I was a junior size 7/8 and a misses size 8. A couple decades later a junior size 7/8 is a bit tight on me, but I'm a misses size 4.

Red and Gray and White

I forgot I wore this G-2000 jacket just two days ago. I love its styling: the bright, stretchy fabric, the pocket details, the high-quality tailoring.

Black and Gray

Here's a gray polo shirt with black pants, black jacket, and blue print scarf.

Red, White, Beige

A red jacket with pocket and waistline details, worn with a white polo and very light beige corduroys; a red scarf with little paisley print accents -- which I made myself!

Jeans

Here I've got on one of those button-down shirts with 3/4 length sleeves that are popular these days. I keep pushing the sleeves up above my elbows.

Black and Blue

A scarf add interest to this long blue t shirt, worn with black pants and black jacket.

That Beige Vest Again

Here's that beige vest in another look, this time blue jeans and beige. 

Black Gingham

Here's that black gingham vest I wore on the first blog post, this time with a white polo and black pants. I opted not to wear a scarf but now that I see the pics I think it would be best with a small black or red scarf tied in a soft bow. 

Blue Jeans / Red / Blue Jeans

Jeans vest and skirt, red boat neck T

Black with Scarf

Black pants, black T shirt and a long scarf that I made myself. I've got a black shirt jacket as well; it's hanging on the back of my chair.
