Blue + Yellow = Happiness

Admittedly, I'm poaching this idea from The Sartorialist, which is one of my favorite blogs. If you haven't ever checked it out, I suggest you do so immediately (disclaimer: this site is the equivalent of blog crack. You're sure to be immediately addicted). I know that wearing blue and yellow together is not a novel idea, but after I saw the post about the trend, which apparently is big in London, I couldn't help but feel a burning desire to construct an outfit for myself. And, I have to say, throwing in poodles & stripes as my blue element, well... double the happiness. The dogs also happened to be a great conversation starter when I wore this outfit out one Saturday night. I credit Brit from Flight of the Conchords for single-handedly bringing critters back in vogue.

Monday, Monday

This week I'm going 5 for 5: I'm going to post every outfit. Which means I've got to be prepared, so I'll keep it short and sweet tonight so I can go plan for Tuesday!

Suffice it to say that Mondays are anything but fun, but I swear, dressing up a little takes off the edge. My validation today? My straight male co-worker told me, "I really like your outfit. You're really on the cutting edge of fashion..." Not so sure I'm on the cutting edge, so to speak, but I do think about it a lot and I'm not going to pretend that I don't like compliments!

And on another note, I've changed the settings on commenting, so hopefully you'll now be able to post. I'd love to hear what you think!
