I was channeling LHR this morning: once I got the planned ensemble on, I realized there were several problems with it. I am more than willing to deal with problems that compromise my physical comfort; in fashion, the phrase "no pain, no gain" rings very true. (see shoes above)
I am not, however, willing to compromise my mental comfort and the tights were just not working with my grey pencil skirt and tiny vest, and the collars of my cowl-neck blouse and tiny vest were totally incompatible.
The clock was ticking. I had to make a fast change.
Out came the recently-acquired black skirt, about which I remain ambivalent, but since I have worn it twice now, I can hardly reverse shop it at this point. I switched up the belt-- it came with one, but I chose one my mum bought me when were visiting B.C. two summers ago.
All in all, I think it worked out okay. I may not be able to blind anyone with science -my grasp of the latter being sketchy at best- but I can sure as heck blind 'em with COLOUR.

The flashes of colour are perfect. You know me my natural tendency is putting unmatching colours together.
Mismatching and mix-matching are VERY chic, my dear!
