Week 3

This week's post is about finding reasons to justify the purchase of my new shirt. 

1. I really like it. 

2. I have been looking for the perfect black and white striped shirt for years to no avail, and this is a good substitute. 

3. It was $138 marked down to $25. 

4. I can already think of about 6 other things in my things in my closet that I will wear it with.

5. The buttons are very cute and actually button. (Form follows function!) 

6. It has pockets. 

7. I need more non-work clothes. 

8. Buying it made my tension headache go away. 

I think those are good enough reasons.  Anyway, I'm wearing a red and white French Connection cotton top, black twill H&M pants, and red faux-snakeskin Sam Edelman ballet flats with little perforations.

Here is the neckline of the top.

And here is the back.  I haven't included details of the pants and shoes because they're not so special.  The pants are actually interesting because they are high-waisted, but they're H&M quality and stretch and wrinkle in strange places.  The shoes were actually once very cute, but I've been caught one too many times in the rain wearing them. 

So, I do need to replace the shoes and find better black pants in the next few months.  Would sailor pants look to costumey with this top?
