dailywear

Today, I am going to be at work for 11 hours including a couple of hours of training where I will be up and about at the end of the day. I opted for comfort. This cute argyle sweater was actually brought to my attention by one of my Tweeps who said she thought of me when she saw it. When I saw the 75% off price tag, I decided it was too cute to pass up. Once it was delivered I loved how perfectly it went with this pants even if the overall look is a bit schlumpy.

Actually, I think the overall look is pretty sleek, not schlumpy.

You are such a genius at pattern mixing, especially since the cardigan features multiple patterns on its own. Wow!
