Drab outfit for a drab day

It finally rained today, but only a very small amount which just made it more humid. Our part of the state is officially in a severe drought. I doubt the rain did much other than settle a bit of dust. Today I put on an outfit that looked like I felt. Drab. I just could not get up the energy to put together something more colorful.

I like all the pieces I have on today, but I do not usually wear them all together. The shoes are some fun camouflage Airwalk Hope shoes I got at Payless. Pretty comfortable and they are part of Payless' Good Shoe Project which donates a pair of shoes to a child in Central America for each pair of Hope Shoe purchased.
Jacket: TanJay Dillards
Top: Chico's

Do you ever dress according to your mood?

  1. I used to have that Talbots bracelet on the far left in a jade green. Sadly, the magnet that held it closed fell out. :-(

    Are you in Texas? I hear there's a tropical storm headed that way. Hoping you get some rain and a break in the weather soon!

  2. I don't think you look drab, just more muted, color wise, than other days. And no doggies! But I like your look and I'm intrigued by the Payless shoe thing. Must investigate.

  4. I often dress according to mood and I have on olive drab today as well, but I have been grading papers all day and don't look nearly as polished as you. I had been unaware of this Payless initiative and may have to learn more about it.

  5. If I have a good reason for the mood, I'll dress for it. (And this weather is a really good reason.) If I'm just being punky, then I will force myself to wear something yellow.
    Your necklace is great. I'll have to find a Stylemint. Is it a shop? I love the Talbot's bracelet, too.

  6. Sometimes I do, and sometimes I dress to belie my feelings. Like when I'm sad or sick, I actually dress better... "feel bad, but at least I look good" to perk me up a bit.

    ANd the necklace is teriffic

  8. I think so! Sometimes, I just feel like no fuss and that's when I usually revert to my black and white trend. This outfit of yours really works....it's casual, but still looks put together! ~Serene

  9. I love army green! It is my favorite shade of green so your jacket is awesome! Love your bracelets too! I ONLY dress according to my mood. I don't feel like I can pull off certain looks unless my mood and it agree. Thank you for all of your lovely comments! Kiah

  10. I most definitely dress according to my mood! If I'm not feeling like myself that day it just seems I lack creativity and can't put anything "special" together! Regardless of your drab mood or your drab weather, you look fantastic.
