Sand and ice

Today is my last beach vacation inspired outfit, and I decided to steal a color pallet from the sand itself. Seemed like a good idea at the time, but now I'm thinking "Really? Four shades of brown? That is the best you've got?"

And boots?? Boots are not beachy at all. Boots were poor shoe choice. I think the new orange Seyschelles would have been a better choice. And a gold cardigan instead of the brown.
Oh well. Next time, I guess.

At least I'm pleased with my necklace choices; I love the way the white one is built like a net of beads and has a nice drape. It does feel like summer.

  16. The brown cardi almost has a cognac tinge to it. I imagine there's a good beachy tropical drink with cognac. Or, maybe not-so-much a mixed drink ingredient? (I'm trying to stick to your beach theme here. I apologize if you don't drink) I like the cardi belted!

  34. The Seychelles would have been great but boots aren't always bad for the beach, especially if it happens to be cold and rainy :( I love your necklaces and these colors together. I think neutral/monochrome is always very sophisticated!

  35. very fun....love the boots
    all the best
