What I wore Wednesday

Last Wednesday, I purchased a scarf I really love at Aspen Boutique. This Wednesday I wore it for the first time. I love the colors in it the middle is an orangey red and then it changes to a gray and then black at the ends of the scarf. It has a ruffled texture and it styles beautifully. Does it sound like I love it?

I have started painting my nails. I am not very good at it as I seem to go outside the lines a lot. Fortunately, the polish outside the nails seems to come off after a few hand washings. Today I am wearing OPI for Sephora Charge It. It is a gold color polish. I did buy some rather daring polishes-one a turquoise color. I am not really sure how to wear really different colors like that. Do you match them to your outfit? Do you make sure that they at least "go" with your outfit or does it matter at all? Any advice would be appreciated.

Not sure if this is clear or not, but you can kind of see the gold color.

Rainday Tuesday

It has been drizzling all day and a bit chilly. The only places I went to were to exercise and to a Walmart neighborhood market to buy groceries.

I think that I should've left the vintage fur collar off this jacket to make the scarf stand out a bit more. I really like a lot of contrast in colors for winter outfits. I am just not sure they work so well in pictures. It seems as though dark browns just end up looking more like a black holes that pulls the other colors into its dark matter. (I am a bit of a space geek.)

I have a lot of scarves that are just now coming out to play. I do love to wear them in the fall and winter, so this is the first of many that you will see this winter. I should've thought to take a picture of just the scarf so you could see the detail better.

This was a mistake photo, but it looked like a pose that some
style bloggers use, so I decided to include it for fun.



We had a bit of excitement over the weekend. There was an 5.6 earthquake in Oklahoma that was felt here in Kansas. It was a bit frightening to have your house shaking and a roar like a jet plane right over your house. I have never experienced an earthquake, so while people who have been in California thought it was nothing, it was a real experience for someone who has never felt one. There was another smaller quake last night. I didn't feel it, but FarleyJoe seemed to have noticed it.
