Eek, the House health care vote is today. I have so much to do, but CSPAN is screening into my home office. I can't help it. They're so funny too. (If you've been in student government or any context that uses parliamentary procedure, it's probably funnier for you). Also, I had no idea that the representative from the Virgin Islands gets to speak during debates (but does she have a vote?)
Today is possibly a big day for our country's politics, and what is a better outfit to show my Americanness than red, white, blue and cow boy boots? (And cream/oatmeal, with is delicious). I once read Al Franken joke that red, white and blue look flattering on no one. He might be onto something.
Is this sweater too crazy to wear? It's Free People, it was cheap, and love the buttons. I just don't know how to style it. I don't want it to become a closet orphan. It has colors. (I know).
Sweater closed on top (better? worse?)
I started cracking up when the Dems and Republicans started shouting at each over a particular procedural point. As if that's what they're divided about.
Sweater: Free People, thrifted
Boots: Durango, thrifted
Tshirt: H&M
Jeans: Blank, Cliche
I really like the sweater! It looks pretty great with jeans and a white t-shirt, and would probably look nice with a long-sleeved tee underneath it too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice Anne. I am weirded out still because it is very very colorful. Blokey likes it too but I remain unconvinced.
ReplyDeleteDon't I look so American? Heck ya!
Oh I like it open because it lengthens you, not that you need to be but it creates a nice line. But I like it both ways -great find. Love the colors - at least they're seated in a neutral? I know what you mean about feeling weird re colors.
ReplyDeleteI love that this is very colorful for you :) But listen to blokey - he's completely right! Hey and speaking of the Dressing Room and colorful sweaters, where's that pretty orange sweater of yours been hiding?
ReplyDeleteI swapped it.
ReplyDeleteI, too, love this sweater. And open or closed works for me. It would look good with a long-sleeve T, too, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteAlso, 'gotta love a cowboy boot! And this outfit keeps the boot urban instead of country.
I looooove that sweater! Particularly with jeans and boots, I think you're wearing it just right!
ReplyDeleteI agree with one and all on the radness of this sweater. I like it both open and closed, though I think closed showcases those awesome buttons. And I think you have styled it just right. I read somewhere once that close fitting bottoms and loose tops (or vice versa) are the way to go, shape-wise. Way to be a poster girl for expert fashion advice.
