Blue


Blue, originally uploaded by Cohabitating_Closet.

Hey, look, it's our kitchen. I recently made these curtains out of a really sturdy canvas I picked up in the Garment district. It took about 45 minutes with the ironing and help from my cheerful cohabitating assistant. Our old curtain, some Ikea monstrosity, did not match the orangey decor of our kitchen at all. Now we are all low-rent Marimekko.

Perhaps to match the new found color in the kitchen, I also started my outfit today with these very loud, very blue leggings. I just had to give a make up test to a student, and I figured if it is spring break, I will wear what I darn please. She didn't seem to mind. I just could not get over how blue my legs were. I even got a significant number of looks on the subway, and considering that I was neither muttering to myself, hocking spit against the doors, or throwing chicken bones, that is a relatively new experience. So while I remain more comfortable in my black tights, this was still pretty fun for another gloomy solid grey day in NY. They are on the transparent side, which is kind weird.


I also wore this outfit to fight about school reform on Facebook. Ah, what I did with my spring break.
