I have missed you all, seems like a while since I've been on here. My outfit photos from yesterday didn't turn out so I did not post them, but I promise you, I was wearing color!! Do you know how when you take on something new, like a resolution, or you are focusing on making a change, that what shows up is everything BUT that?? For example, I am focusing on wearing MORE COLOR, so what I am noticing is how much BLACK everyone around here wears!! Its everywhere and it seems like business people wear it as a sign of IMPORTANCE. Long black trench coats. Black suits. Black brief cases. Black scarf with Black Jacket. Black black black black. Why does our culture dress so dark all the time???
Okay rant over. Just me going through withdrawal. I will be okay. Remember Oath #11 from my Fashion Oath about Rule #6 .
Work is BUSY so not much time to visit on here lately. I am however, still getting in my regular workouts (swimming and running at 6am) and Thursdays teach spin class. Speaking of which, time to get to bed!!
Love ya xoxo Jodi
I love this whole outfit! Pure perfection.
ReplyDeleteYou're funny! You are the master of brown and black!
ReplyDeleteI think gray and blue works splendidly. I've been wanting gray boots forever! I'm drawn to gray this season. It is the new black! That blue is beautiful and the collar is awesome!
I LOVE this outfit!
ReplyDeleteTake it slow! I love that pretty blue top peeking out from under the cardi, and, gosh, those boots ARE lovely, for reals.
ReplyDeleteBlack and brown can be amazingly chic! I think it looks best if your outfit is mostly black and then you add a few pops of warm brown, like cognac or caramel. The swanky ladies I work for are forever throwing camel coats over their little black suits, and it looks so polished!
Wow, loving that top and all its ruffly goodness. And yes, the whole world wears black. Time for us girls to make a stand and bring in some brightness. And you have done brown and black before and owned the look so you don't need any advice from me. :-)
ReplyDeletePS As a strange coincidence Pete did used to do karate. Me, I'm a capoeira girl.
It's astounding how so many of us, miles and miles away, are on the same wavelength. I recently posted a gray & blue outfit and gray is my new black, too.
ReplyDeleteYes, I wear brown and black. All. The. Time. Basically if I like it, I wear it. Simple!
Gray is awesome....just as versatile to me as black....love the fence pic....you are just getting more and more gorgeous with every post:)
ReplyDeleteStop by and say Hello:)

ReplyDeleteThe whole outfit looks amazing and I love how you have those earrings photographed against "fabulous"!
ReplyDeleteGood job with wearing color, the grey makes that blue seem so vibrant!

That louse is really cute. I love the blue.
ReplyDeleteThis is really gorgeous. :)
ReplyDeleteSHOOT, I meant to ASK about GREY AND BROWN, not black and brown... darn!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful outfit. In addition to pretty colors, it has nice shapes and patterns. Very pleasing to the eye.
ReplyDeletelove grey and brown together Jodi :) And these are colours are awesome on you. Yes, people around here wear way too much black, though I will admit, my main winter coat is black, eeks!
ReplyDeleteI love those boots. I must admit, grey is my new favorite neutral.
ReplyDeleteI want your top, and skirt, my mum wants your haircut! :)
ReplyDelete♥
I like the new boots. My wife has some gray ones as well and they are quite cool.
ReplyDeleteDon't swear off black completely.

Love all that color! Those grey boots are too cute. Very stylish looking today. I am sure you made many heads turn. :)
ReplyDeletegreat look. I notice that when I dress for work I tend to wear a lot of black too. I guess its just easier to throw on a pair of black pants and top and not have to think about it sometimes
ReplyDeleteOh and congratulations on the new pair of boots. I knew as soon as I saw them I hadn't seen them before. Love!!
ReplyDeleteYay for grey!! I think that black is so easy to wear, and that it's kinda fool proof that people forget to be adventurous in other neutrals. I love that you chose grey for your main neutral!
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty in that color blue!
ReplyDeleteYour skin tone was made for gorgeous color!!!
I know what you mean about noticing stuff after it has been brought to your attention.
Happens in my world all the time.
I love this softer palette on you! It really makes you glow!
ReplyDeleteFrills and nipped in waist! So feminine and pretty :)
ReplyDeleteYour resolution is going so well. This outfit is just perfect. I'm in love with those gray boots....where are they from again. I would not mind procuring a pair for myself.
ReplyDeleteBTW I love how you're wearing boots with pencil skirts, it's a look I love but can't quite seem to pull off. :) How do you do it? Any tips.
Look forward to hearing from you
Love
