This is a very simple, earthy ensemble that I put together for grocery shopping and coffee shop loitering. I really love this brown coat, so I was happy to have an excuse to wear it. I call it my "bag lady" coat. ;P It's frumpy, but it's so comfortable and the color is great. I adore this hobo bathrobe. <3

I managed to jazz things up a bit with my favorite vintage sweater. *^_^* I didn't want to add any other prints to the outfit, so I just threw on the sweater over my green skater dress. The dress added a nice splash of color, but it also managed to basically blend in with the other earth tones which provided a nice canvas for the sweater. I really wanted it to be the main attraction and I think I succeeded. :DDD

A dude at the grocery store stopped me and said that he liked my style. *^_^* I thought that was really sweet, though it was a bit unexpected. In my mind, this outfit is kind of on the boring side. I didn't really think that much of it, but I'm always my own worst critic. So, yeah. Thanks, random dude! Hehe. :P

I like this outfit too! The printed sweater adds a lot of interest, and I don't think the jacket is frumpy at all (it looks cozy!). Also, you're wearing a hat! Hats are so rarely worn these days that I think they add a lot of interest to an outfit even though they might be quite simple. This outfit to me looks very well put together, but still interesting (if a little more understated - especially for you!). :D

Also, give yourself more credit, girl! And if you think this is boring, I'm surprised you even visit my blog anymore! :P

Hahaha. Yeah. I don't know why I keep wearing my fedora in the winter time. Usually, having your ears exposed is not the best thing when it's cold out. Luckily, it was a pretty mild day, but I've been known to put on ear warmers and then still wear the fedora. Haha. I dunno. Sometimes, I just feel like it's just what the outfit needs and a pom pom hat wouldn't quite be right. :P

Also, you're blog is *never* boring and I won't hear any more of that nonsense, madam!

The best kind of compliments are the ones you don't see coming. It's pretty clear that random grocery store dude has good taste.

So I was thinking that was actually a really cute coat and then you went and code it a "hobo bathrobe" and I lost it. Oh man.. now I can't unsee it...

(And I'm always taken back when strangers compliment my "bleh" outfits. If they like those, they should see me when I'm really trying!)

I like it- the sweater seems almost like illustrations out of an old children's book (I'm thinking specifically of my old Nursery Rhymes book).

Anna

Yeah. The print has that quality to it, I agree. I guess that's why I always like looking at it. Hehe. :P
