Rosy Blues

So wow. All this putting yourself out there is interesting. I have a long way to go in learning how to get photos of my outfits. Mercy.

Ahem. That aside, I had a harder time than I expected with today's prompt, monochrome.

Here are two of the examples I loved (not sure of original sources--pulled them off of Kayla's site):


I had this great idea in my head. I'll push myself! Do pinks and lavenders because I have these fun Loft lavender pants. Blech. It totally didn't work. The taupe sweater made me look cut off funny and just made my butt look big.

Wow, could I look more uncomfortable?
So I went back to my original plan, which was blues. Nothing super special, but I like it and it's comfortable.

This worked out great because we were headed to the park on a post-rain, muddy So-Cal day.

What is the story with my neck? I look like I'm ducking through the frame!

Blue is my safety too. I was SO tempted to go that way. But it's pretty and comfy and easy! And people don't look at you weird when you're wearing head-to-toe blue :)

I had a neutral monotone in the back of my head, too, and a black, but the blue really fit what we were doing that day much better.
