Marigold
I am so loving this color right now. Last December Rodarte included marigold in its signature line for Target and I loved it so much I took a picture of the dress but ended up only purchasing the long sleeved cardigan. (That day, the will power won out.)
Yesterday, my friend Cathy brought over the dress from the same line that she had found marked down to $28. Score! The challenge for me was to downplay the femininity with some darker colors. I added a belt that I made from a vintage tie and rhinestone buckle, a black jacket, marigold tights and brown suede boots. The sparkly brooch on the jacket lapel was the final touch. Thanks, Cathy, for thinking of me when you saw this lovely dress. I think I’m going to wear it for Valentine’s Day. I’ve planned a special surprise for Carl.
Rainy outdoors but sunny inside
Yes, I know we need it. Yes. Yes. Yes. But that doesn’t mean I have to like it. Today, as sheets of rain are blown around by the wind, I am happy to stay inside and drink a cup of Passion tea with small shot of agave nectar.
On days like this, I need color and was a little surprised when I looked in this corner of our house to see that I matched the room. I suppose it makes sense. The funny thing is that I bought this Moroccan vase in 1998 and the velvet top in 2009. It’s a color that will always be a part of my life…I enjoy its warm glow. Especially nice on days like today.
