...day 6, a day late...

Saturday was a shopping day with my sisters!  I had the challenge of needing comfortable shoes, but wanting to feel cute.  I think I came up with something good, I'm just more concerned about upcoming shopping days and what I will come up with then!  Remember, no repeats!

I will tell you, many of you prolly know that I have several "fashion rules" that I am pretty hard core about.  For example: I don't wear white shoes or pants after Labor Day.  I don't wear open toed shoes after mid October.  I have several color combinations that I don't approve of: grey & brown, red & green (unless its Christmastime), navy & black, black & brown.  Well, recently I have seen people mixing black & brown in an acceptable fashion.  I know, I can't believe I just typed that!  Now, let me explain.  I do think there are certain ways that this color combination is acceptable, but that DOES NOT mean that I think it is always acceptable to mix black & brown.  For example: You may not wear black shoes with a brown belt, or a brown sweater with black pants.  There must be something in the ensemble that ties the 2 together.  I realize this is just my silly little rule, but it's a rule I live by.  So, I would assume that you could guess where today's outfit landed me.  Yup, a black & brown combo, of which I felt was acceptable, you be the judge:



Sorry these pics are a little blurry.  As I said, were a little busy shopping, we just squeezed these photos in real quick.

Jeggings - Nordstrom's (I'm not kidding, you have to go check it out!)
boots - DSW!

I live by the same brown/black rule! Also, I love the scarf from today's outfit!

I am with you on the black brown thing, but I did think that it totally worked on Friday when I saw you and it is all because of that leopard print scarf! I saw some leopard print shoes at Target the other day and had the thought that if I bought them, I could wear them with black or brown outfits.
