One For The Money

Happy New Year, you guys! :DDD We made it! Woohoo! <3 I have to say that my biggest goal, this year, is to not be as poor as I was, last year. >_< Hehe. As you may or may not know, I decided to switch careers and move in a new direction. Hence, the whole cash flow situation hasn't been all that great. Hehe. Things started to pick up late, last year. So, I'm optimistic about what's in store for 2016!

Since I have money on my mind, that has had a bit of an influence on my outfit. ;) Actually, I think that I've got a little bit of a gangster vibe going on, but a really cute gangster? Haha. As you can see, I did a subtle mix in prints with the green plaid skirt and vintage green tartan blazer. I toyed with a mix of tartan and plaid, last year, but I used two different colors. This time, I wanted to do something more monochromatic. I know that the colors don't particularly match up, but that doesn't really bother me. :P

I didn't want to go overboard with the green/blue color scheme, so I tempered the outfit with a mix of black, grey and white. The grey/white sheep sweater provided a nice contrast of color and I think it kept the plaid/tartan mix from being too overwhelming by separating the two patterns and drawing the eye.

In love with the mixed plaids! You're certainly giving Capone a run for his (dirty, dirty) money. And the coat is the perfect touch.

Um, so awesome. Where do I even begin? The greens/blues actually look identical in my monitor. I did a double take because at first I thought you were wearing an amazing plaid suit - but then I realized you have mixed tartan and plaid and I'm even more in love!

Also, the jacket - so simple but I love that it's the perfect grey. And the shoes! And the hat! And the adorable sheep. Love love love.

This is another outfit that makes me really wonder what your closet looks like. :D Can't help but be curious. Mine is truly shocking, FYI.

Also, yay for making more money and a career change - that all sounds very exciting! Wishing you all the best for moving in a different direction. :D

I like the plaid on plaid, which surprised but delighted me! Somehow a bit Sherlock of you :)

Also- it is good to hear that things have picked up on the job front a bit.

Oh, I have the biggest soft spot for sheep. My husband and I even honeymooned on a sheep farm because I'm such a suckered for those wooly little things. And you are completely right. The graphic really draws the eye and allows the different prints to be a frame that seems almost seamless. You have such an eye for the overall composition of an outfit.
