Is there anything worse than cold, cloudy, rainy, sleety, possibly even snowy days that come around this time of year? It is officially springtime, after all. One thing that I really enjoy doing on days like these is sitting down with a nice cup of tea and my pile of catalogs, for which I thank my husband. During one of our many moves when we were homeless without a home, we directed our mail to my mother in law’s address. When we changed it back to our new, permanent address, he informed the post office to redirect all of “The Rock’s” mail. Needless to say, our stash of catalogs has increased dramatically!
I have been eying up this fantastic yellow raincoat from Boden for a few years now. Maybe even one of these years I will splurge and order it. I am also dying to attend a wedding this summer just so I have an excuse to buy a new dress, which would of course mean buying new accessories, too. I have fallen in love with this entire look.
When my sister was here a few weeks ago we were browsing through Boden’s Spring 2011 catalog and she asked how can she get away with wearing pink shoes a green dress? Is this not a fashion faux pas? Aren’t you supposed to match your shoes with your purse? The answers are she just can, no, and no. Since I am by no means an expert on fashion, here is an article from Ladies' Home Journal on fashion rules to break. Note, I said Ladies' Home Journal…not Harper’s Bazaar. So I think we all can agree, LHJ is probably not on the cutting edge of new fashion trends so we can assume we are safe to break these rules!
Disclaimer: Do not inform your husband of these new rules! Once he knows you do not need a new pair of shoes, purse, and other accessories to go with a new dress he will assume you already have something to “match” in your closet.
