More Blue and Black and a Star Headwrap

I redid yesterday's posts and still can't find out why the photos are getting sized wrong.

Here is Friday;s Outfit. Black pants, blue top, star headscarf.
I've been experimenting with this retro head wrap which my boyfriend made no bones about disliking. So I did it when  he wasn't home. It's my head after all.

Fashion Challenge Day 9: Gray Dress

I have a love hate relationship with this dress. I like the color. I like the beaded dragonflies on it. But I feel like an elephant when I wear it.

Gray Dress: Gifted
Black ballet flats: Payless Shoe Source
Baseball jersey style top: unknown

Outfit Challenge Day Five: Blue and Black w/ Scarf

 I think this blue top looks so much better than the other one I wore. Once again, I think I should have tucked the blouse in, but I didn't get to look at the photos until I got home.

Blue top: Walmart
Black pants: Walmart
Scarf: Thrifted
Running shoes; Not shown
Sunglasses: Inherited

 I think it is important to show the back view as well. 

Another windy day so I pulled my hair back.

Soon it will be too cool for short sleeves.

Outfit 3: The Blue and the Black

So often I feel like I'm only photogenic from the shoulders up.

Long version of the skirt.

The best photo I could get of the front view & I took over 100.

My favorite silver heels

I love the Torrid leggings.

I tried so many ways to get this outfit to work. Skirt long, skirt short, skirt medium. Shirt tucked, shirt untucked. This shirt has been hanging in my closet ever since a friend gave it to me over a year ago. One of the points of this challenge is to step out of my comfort zone and try new things.

I love this shade of blue, but I've never done well with polyester/rayon type fabrics or blousons. This hit me wrong and accentuated all my worst features.

What I did love was the black leggings I bought from Torrid just before I started the challenge. They fit perfectly and at my size that is a miracle.

Wizard Necklace

I could alter the blouse, but I think I'll just wash it and donate it to Goodwill. It reminded me of a top I loved in high school, back in the days when I actually had a waist.

Black skirt and blue blouse: gifted
Wizard necklace: Something I picked up at a craft fair
Silver heels: Payless Shoesource
Leggings: Torrid

Blue Gone Mauve

I was looking for a great mauve color palette to show my boyfriend and couldn't find any, so I got bored and started playing with the app. I put in a photo of my eyeball, which is blue, and I'll be darned if it didn't come up with a mauve color palette. It's not like I have mauve eyeballs.

Here is the website I used. Color

Pink is a boy's color

Did you know that traditionally pink was considered a boy's color until the 1950's? Here is an excellent article on that very topic. http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=238733
Blue was considered a girl's color because it was quieter and gentler.
