Yellow tights anybody?

I have seen a bunch of fashion bloggers in yellow or mustard tights lately. I couldn't find any better example pictures,but just think of these tights with a denim skirt or dress. I tend to be pretty open to fashion trends, but I'm not warming up to the idea at all. It looks out of place for me more like the jaundice effect. What's your opinion? I'm very curious what others think about it. Would you give yellow tights a try?

Scarf Challenge: Day 2

Can you spot the color? :)

I know that not everything is black&white and there are grays in the world, but it was all black&white for me today except for a spot of red. Hard to see isn't it? I had matching coral earrings actually.

Scarf Challenge is starting easy with the cooler temperatures in SoCal. The outfit is my current tolerance for denim on denim. I had to sit down from 5am to 7pm and work on a research project proposal all day today. I felt really cozy and warm in the layers and cashmere scarf. I also had a white puffer vest that I forgot to photograph.

What's your go to outfit when you need to be comfortable? I love being wrapped up in scarfs or pashminas, and definitely wear a vest as it doesn't interfere with my typing.

Scarf Challenge: Day 1

This was the first day of my scarf challenge. Over the next couple of week, I'll be wearing a scarf every day until I go through all my scarfs. It is a good time to do this since I can use both heavy and light-weight scarfs depending on the weather.

The reason for the challenge is simple. I have too many scarfs and I don't make enough use of them. Even after huge scarf reduction last year when I gave away a bunch of them, I a drawer full of scarfs. Not surprising when I think my late Mother had a similar scarf drawer, in her case, along with a lot of flower pins.

I don't think it will be hard to accomplish this. I'll go about my regular ways of dressing except that I will have to think consider colors a lot more and maybe will skip necklaces most of the time. Along the way, I will probably consider new knots, alternative ways to wear scarfs and new give away items. I might even give away some of the less used ones through the blog. I'll just start the challenge and let it flow on its own.

And by all means, if you'd like to play with me on this, please add yourselves in the comments and I'll make a summary of everyone's scarf posts weekly.

I'm excited!

Red Carpet Party

We have a red carpet party every year to watch the Oscars. It's nice that everyone plays along. Our guests had some great outfits today some funny some serious.

Since I treated his as a costume pretty much, I didn't feel like pressing this old Maid of Honor dress. The dress was acquired post-maternity so I added a belt to keep it in place and the bubble sleeve shirt for extra coverage when I was entertaining.
