Skippy Says: Throwing Him A Bone (OOTD)

Since Ryan has been so nice lately, and since I've been wearing so many outfits he hates, I decided to throw him a bone and tone it down a bit today. Because apparently I've gone of the colorful deep end. What can I say? Color makes me happy. And I've never been very good at the whole moderation thing. I'm an all-or-nothing kinda gal, as evidenced by the 16+ hours of studying I did every day in law school and the embarrassingly large number of hot dogs I could consume in a single sitting before I went vegetarian. For realz. My BFF's boyfriend and I were planning on having a hot dog eating contest. It never did happen, but I assure you I would have won.

    The boots were a perfect choice for this outfit. So did Ryan like this outfit or no? Your top is really pretty too!

    First, and most importantly, there is this incredible hot dog place by my apartment that has, like, a million toppings and hot dog variations. AND THEY HAVE VEGGIE DOGS. It's pretty much the best place ever.

    Second, I think outfit is so sweet. It is a little more toned-down than usual but still colorful and totally you :)

    Pshhh!!! What do boys know anyways? It always seems like whatever outfit the Hubs really hates, everyone in the blogosphere loves. =) I love your bright blue scarf! And the wedged booties are fabulous!

    Thanks Heather! I think this was moving in the right direction. He's like me to dress "sexier" in general but that just isn't me...so this look is a nice compromise :)

    Ok, when I visit Boston, I'm there! What's it called?!
    And thank you so much! It is toned down a bit, but I could definitely use that once in a while :)

    I love your skirt - it's such a fun pop of color, without being too "over the top." I liked your other outfits, too, but this is a great way to tone it down while still staying true to your love of color :)

    Cute. LOVE the blouse! I am starting to think that I may need a red skirt, too? Hmm...

    BTW... yea for you... throw the man a bone now and again. If he's a good one he deserves it... but not too often. Hee hee
