Matchy Matchy

Hi Everyone!! OK, I have been described more than once (and I would even admit this about myself) that I am SUPER matchy matchy. I know, Clinton and Stacy always say that it's not necessary to match and while I most certainly value their opinion, I just really like to match. Like I like my jewelry to match what I am wearing and I will match my shoes and jewelry. SO, being aware of this about myself I have decided to try an step a little out of the box. I do mean a LITTLE...but still, baby steps, right?? :) I am now always looking for random but cute color combinations. I think other people do this really well, but me, not so much. So, we'll see how today works for me. I picked out this outfit last night and I was really excited about it. I have found that picking out the clothes the night before might be the key to this blog being a successful endeavor. Waiting until the morning is just too time consuming, and let's be real, I'm usually running late in the morning...so it's just better to at least be prepared when you also have to budget time to take a picture. I wish Fred had opposable thumbs and could help me out with this. Unfortunately, he's usually lounging (in luxury now that he has a SERTA bed thanks to Doreen)...I have been asked (mainly my sister requested) that I include pics of him...so here is what he is usually doing when I'm running around trying to take my pic:

Yep, that's right...just chillin. Per usual. Honestly, who can blame him, if I were him I would never leave that bed!

OK...back to the point of this whole blog:

OK, OK...so I still matched my shoes to my sweater...I said baby steps, right?? :) BUT, I think that adding the turquoise necklace with the orange and grey combo was fun and unexpected. Normally I would have thought, orange goes with brown and I would have worn a brown jacket/sweater and then brown/gold necklace. SO...this was stepping out for me! Hope you all can appreciate that! Anyway, love the orange and grey and the turquoise accents!
Orange V-Neck T- Shirt - Target
Grey Sweater - Express
Jeans - Not sure the brand I got them in a random clothing store in Aggieville in Manhattan....but I LOVE them!!
Grey Snakeskin Heels - Macy's for 40 bucks. Steal.

OK, first attempt at taking a pic of the accessories was only sort of successful. Again, running late, so I'll try to get a better pic for tomorrow.

Turquoise Necklace - I think I got it at Target?
Silver Ball Earrings - Express
Silver Watch - Premier
Silver Bracelet - Tiffany
Silver Cuff - Like Bracelet - Premier
Silver Bangles - Target?
Silver Bow Necklace - A Store in London (it wasn't anywhere fancy!)
Silver and Turquoise Ring - acquired recently from a friend (thanks Staci!!!)

OK...hope everyone is having an awesome Wednesday!!! Half way to the weekend!
Sidenote...when I spell checked this blog...it flagged Aggieville, um, shouldn't that be in every dictionary??? I think so. :)
