red & black.


merona top & skirt

there are certain color combinations that always strike that chord of nostalgia.  for me, red & black is one of those colors:  it will always remind me of my college alma mater, the university of georgia.  i'm reminded of grabbing our college newspaper (aptly named the "red and black") and doing the crossword puzzle before classes began, my cute off-campus apartment (oh i loved that apartment), and of course football games.  many of the sorority girls would dress in red or black dresses, heels, and pearls (this was the south) but i always dressed in jeans & a college t-shirt for football games.  those really were some of the best weekends in college and i love being reminded of those memories whenever i dress in red and black these days, even if my college days are ten years in the past!

is there a color combination that evokes similar memories for you?

all about the shoes.

happy monday!  i feel like i have been dressing really casually to work lately (last friday i actually wore running shoes, which is just so different for me!) so it felt good to pull on a pencil skirt and heels... even if it led to a number of looks and comments throughout the day.  is seeing a woman in a pair of high heels really gawk-worthy?  i guess it is at my workplace!  i really like these fun pumps though, DSW always hits it out of the park for me and i consistently find unique and interesting shoes there.  this cardigan hasn't been worn in who knows how long, either, but i felt it was a good complement to the neutral shade of the shoes.  now, if only my hair would grow out a little and cooperate... i miss my longer locks!
 
thanks for visiting!
