Everybody has one...

You know the saying. "Everybody has a bum and an opinion and they all stink." Well... what do you make of this?
I would like to hear your opinion... however, I would rather not smell your bum.

Why wear a black pencil skirt when you can wear a purple one? I got this entire outfit from.... yep you guessed it... Peace Place. Skirt is Talbots!

Skirt is Banana Republic. Don't you just LURVE this belt? Yeah me too!

Here's a better view. *sigh*

I got these shoes at a consignment store for $13. A major splurge for me, but they are Nine West.

I love mixing black and blue! The key is to have at least 2 items of both colors so it look like it was on purpose not dressing in the dark. The earrings and the necklace were both gifted (at different times) from Lise!

Another example of black and navy. The great thing about this skirt... besides the fact that it's ATL... it's gifted from Joy. I call it my "Skirt of Joy." It was a little short so I wear my great little vintage slip with it to give me the extra length.

Close up of this divine pattern!

Thrifted Steve Madden tweed pumps. Again *sigh*

I bought this fun little number while on vacation to my hometown in Washigton state. It was in the very most bargain bin clearance section of Ross. It was too big, too short, and had a weird little bow ties to the top of the ruffle... I fixed all that with a pair of scissors (ok honesty check here... it was a pocket knife in my sister's car... I couldn't wait to get to my mom's house to cut it off... that bow had to be dealt with immediately!) And another of my prized vintage slips and my little precious leafy belt again saves the day!

My girls call these my Jasmine shoes.

If olive, coral, chartruese and plum are all neutrals (which they are right? I haven't found any colors they don't look nice with) then they can all go together. Am I wrong? Someone please tell me before I wear this again...

Sweet bracelet from a yard sale.

An alternate idea for using a skinny belt.

I wanted to keep up with the pink and purple awreness idea but just couldn't help by throwing in some of my favorite fall "church clothes." @Pam- I tried to email you about your DV post and about sending your flower pin but it came back... how can i contact you privately? @Wendi- yes they do!
