Tall Girl with Curry

No Repeats, Day 25
01-10-11-1
Good morning/almost afternoon, Stylenation!  Yesterday's outfit isn't really worth posting (just jeans and a t-shirt since I was hanging around the house all day), so let's just skip straight to Monday, shall we?  Today's outfit draws inspiration from a couple sources.  First, from the grey/black/colorful scarf ensemble over at Tall Girl Blogging over the weekend.  I personally get kind of bored in such a neutral-heavy outfit, but I liked the way that Allison used a colorful scarf to liven up her black and grey, so I copied that.

And the curry, you ask?  That comes from the comments for yesterday's post.  I used spicy colors like paprika and cilantro to brighten up my winter outfits, upon Charlotte's suggestion last week.  Yesterday Terri challenged me to try some curry.  I love curry the flavor (it's fantastic on wings, of all things), but don't own any yellow clothing.  At all.  Unlike yesterday's green, which is pretty much a perfect compliment to my coloring, yellow is not this pink-skinned, freckled brunette's friend.  I wish I could pull it off like I've seen Sheila and Kristen (to name a few) do in the past.  Or bold enough to wear awesome yellow pants, like LyddieGal has.  The best I can do is wear it in brooch form (Brooch-wielding is, after all, my super power).
