What are the odds?

A little while ago, I bought a sweet little pussy bow shirt; short sleeves, musk pink with tiny grey stars. I love it. I wear it to work tucked into a pencil skirt and heels, as well as loose with capri pants or business pants and ballet flats. It's a flattering cut and one of my favourtie shirts, so you can imagine my delight when I was in the Red Cross the other day and found the same shirt but black with little purple stars. Oh, and did I mention it was half price? 

I picked up a couple of other cute little bits and pieces while I was there: a nice, warm, heavy knit dress (yep, I know it's summer, but you can't really tell at the moment!) and some giant tartan clip on earrings. No, I haven't gone all punk, or you know, Scottish. I like to use clip on earrings as shoe clips. The big, garish, over-the-top ones look ridiculous attached to your lobes, but rather sweet on your toes. You know the ones: the kind Blanch wore on the Golden Girls. The ones that, in the early years, Stephanie Forester had to remove before answering the phone. Now that's sacrificing for fashion!



Pretty cute, really. But I recommend not wearing your favourite stockings with them, just in case. And maybe check the comfort factor by, oh I don't know, wearing them whilst baking or cleaning the house.
