Ugh. Today’s outfit was way harder for me than it should have been. Would you believe I have zero pairs of colored pants? Unless brown counts, because I do have some brown pants. Everything else is blue jeans. My skirt situation isn’t much better. Half of my skirts are either black, mostly black, or sort of black. The others are mostly varying shades of blue or brown. It’s sad, really. It’s also definitely time to stop relying on tops and tights for adding color to my wardrobe.
I did try to put together an all green ensemble, and despite the fact that it wasn’t terrible altogether, I kept hearing a thirteen-year-old Shawn Mead calling me the Jolly Green Giant in my head. Old wounds, you know. It’s hard being six feet tall in eighth grade!
So I ditched the green. And while black or blue probably would have been easier, I ultimately decided to go with brown. I tried to play up the orangeness of the skirt (because it is such an orangey brown) by adding the scarf. Not sure it works. You tell me.
Mila did the sensible thing and worked with what she had: pink on pink on pink. Monochrome is so easy for little girls.
Side note: I really need to start taking pictures before the sun goes down. Taking pictures in the carport is kind of depressing.
I had the exact same problem with this prompt as you, and came up with the same solution: play up the undertones in a brown skirt.
I like yours! It reads really mustardy on my screen, and the scarf is great with it.
This is really cute!
Ok I actually like your carport pictures. And holy cow, 6 feet tall! You are practically a supermodel.
And I love that you played with the orangey-ness. You look great!

I think that you should wear it when David takes you on an African safari/Jungle tour in the truck… Wearing the hat from your the living room. Seriously, this is channeling Jane from Disney's Tarzan and I love it.
This skirt is lovely and looks really nice on you. I think you did really well with the 'monochrome' prompt.
Also your little girl is a really good model. ADORABLE. Love her pink-on-pink ensemble 😉
Sarah: Oh good! I was worried about the orange so it's nice to have some validation.
Rose: Thanks!
Kayla: Good thing, because you'll probably be seeing more of my carport over the next week or so! And yes. 6 feet. I hear "freakishly tall" more often than "supermodel" thought. 😉
Lydia: YES. I totally should've worn that pith helmet. Next time for sure.
Loren: Not to be all gushy mama, but isn't she?? Sometimes I can't stand how cute she is!
