OOD 3.12.09


Today I'm giving my J Crew houndstooth bow-button cardigan another try.   I've never been quite sure what to do with it because of the bow closures so the couple of times I've worn it I just did a basic white or black tank/tee under and it felt a little boring.  But today: a couple of splashes of color - a red Old Navy necklace and a big yellow bag (both are slightly different than pictured in the Polyvore - my bag is Nordstrom brand).  

This should see me from the morning volunteering at my girls' school to an early casual birthday dinner at some friends'.  I am *not* hitting the stores today - Gap f-i-n-a-l-l-y emailed me an online code for F&F this morning (yay!) so I will probably place an order this afternoon then check for any misses at my B&Ms over the weekend.  Happy Thursday!

    This outfit looks cute. I hope you feel better about your sweater after wearing it today. I have several pieces like that in my wardrobe. I really want to like them but I can't always seem to make them work!

    thanks y'all :) I love yellow & gray together. I am much happier in this sweater today. My next big challenge is going to be what to do with my Key Lime Cherie tank...

    It looks really nice. I wasn't a fan of the bows when I tried it on, but you really make this sweater work! :)

    oh Thanks KatyO :)I am less self conscious of the bows after adding a collared shirt & red necklace. Before all I could see were BOWS lol

    Very cute. I think your turquoise necklace would look good with this, too.
