Hey, we can’t be marvels of creativity and wow-itude every day! Here is a simple and (perhaps overly) coordinated outfit for the office. But I can swear that before my blogging days, there’s no way I would’ve worn a scarf as a belt in a slightly non-matching print! Or blue tights! Or booties!

| Tee: Land’s End Canvas; Skirt: Vintage, thrifted; Booties: Sofft, thrifted. |
Do you ever make yourself over long after your picture is posted, and it’s too late to change anything? : >

I'm catching up on last week's blog posts. 🙂 I find myself wearing things that I never would have worn pre-blog as well. Fun, isn't it?
wow, love that skirt mixed with blue.

You look great! I need some blue tights. Those are really cute.
You always wear the best boots in the blogosphera, Patti.

You are pulling off a tricky skirt length with great success, as far as I'm concerned. I love the blue with the black/white check of the skirt. An adventurous outfit and I might have to steal some of your ideas!!!!
Love, Jean

I had the same err epiphany today.Just something simple.
That's a great look! The scarf with the skirt is inspired. I don't see it as "overly" coordinated but, rather, twisted just right. I love the box pleats on the skirt.
No need to make yourself over. The repeat of blue and the scarf as belt look great for the office! I agree, blogging does enhance creativity!
The tights are a nice touch. I don't think it's over-matching!
I love this outfit!!! The skirt is adorable!!
Yeah I make myself over–the camera doesn't lie. I've learned to use it to weed stuff out!
Patti, I think you look marvelous! I've noticed that sometimes what looks wonderful in person, can look boring on my blog; especially compared to so many editorial looks we see in the blogosphere! But while those are pretty to look at, I want to be inspired for real life. I've never taken a picture for my blog and NOT worn what was pictured. At the end of the day, I appreciate keep ing it real. You have such a unique and beautiful style and the booties are your signature!! Hugs! Serene
Sorry to hear about your loss, Terri. My thoughts are with you, for healing.
I love that skirt! I have a grey flannel pleated skirt of similar length and can see the same proportions and swish here — completely comfortable to wear, right? And you look great!
I love the blue, it is a great color on you!
I make myself over ALL the time. We've had a death in the extended family and I've found myself inexplicably down this week…questioning everything about blogging. This has happened before. And I trust that it will pass. I like the matchiness–and your colorful touches.
I make myself over all the time …
I like this coordinated look and the scarf adds such a great touch of character. I do see my outfits so much more objectively when I can look at them in a photo. I will often see how adding or subtracting an accessory or two would have made the outfit better. That is one of the many things I like about blogging – learning what works and what doesn't and having a record of outfits I like and want to remember.
I change up my outfits after pictures are taken. Sometimes seeing the outfit on the camera screen makes me change my mind.
I think the coordinating thing goes back to my youth. My Mother made sure everything coordinated to the inth degree. My outfit today was also coordinated. I don't think there is anything at all wrong with that! You look fab in the blue.
I don't make myself over after the pictures are posted, but that's only because I'm at work and can't change stuff. But, I always notice things I'd like to change which is kind of helpful because I'm prepared for the next time around.
I love this color of blue in the Lands End top….I often am really overcoordinated..I like it! Looks great on you!
Nothing wrong with "coordinated!" I usually see something I'd remove in WIW shots, rather than something I'd add. Should tell me something… 🙂
