WIW: Horsey Neutrals

First, we are moving back into our loft on May 9. CANNOT WAIT!!!

This is the last of the bad outfit pics in bad light with odd bitty mirrors. Soon, things will be back to normal :) 

Today is a glorious mild Seattle Spring day! Wore my new silk horsey blouse for the first time! (Waving to, Lisa). This was the first way I wanted to wear it - pattern mixed with acid wash jeans, cream belt and loafers, pearls, blue specs, a 13 year old denim blazer, and taupe bag.

Outfit took me to appointments, dog walking, and WFH. I'll go straight to book club in this tonight too. 

This neutral-for-me outfit pandered to my neutral and patterned mood this morning. I wanted straight hair with it.

Stark contrast to an outfit I wore last week that was bold, solid, glitzy, and with waves in my hair - to the point of today's blog's post ;) - style constants AND change rock.

Thanks for looking. xo

New 18 Year Old Jeans!

Fabber and friend Tanya  - who I've also known for 18 years - had a pair of gorgeous jeans she'd hung onto, but are an uncomfortable fit. They are bootcuts (or flares). They're brand new and worn a couple of times. Brought in 2007/2008. So around 18 years old. Just before skinnies took over the world. 

Tanya sent them to me, and now they're mine :) 

Worn here with a striped navy sweater I had on at the time to see if they work. Great fit! Perfect length with flat loafers. Added a belt. Comfy, and hubs Greg likes them too!

The mid-rise feels low at 9 inches. I'm used to wearing 11 inch front rises these days. Happy to wear the lower rise, though. 

I feel like I'm back to wearing what I was 15 years ago, or thereabouts!  On that note, these jeans are begging for cowboy boots, which I happen to have on order. See Find below. (I'll post the jeans with the boots when I get them).

WOOOHOOO! These are a very sustainable pair of jeans. Thanks, sweet Tanya! I'll wear them for you with a happy heart. xo
