Plum Pop

Although I was tempted to channel my inner Captain Casual again today, I wanted to wear my Karina Dresses dress one more time before the giveaway* closes.  I almost went with all black, but decided instead to do a pop of plum:


I paired my black dress (courtesy of Karina Dresses) with a black blazer (Gap Tall), plum tights and black wedge booties (Nine West �Peekaboo� via Piperlime).  And I added a brass and crystal necklace (Special Portland) to add some interest up top.  The plum tights, of course, add interest to the bottom of the outfit.

I have to say that, although I do love brightly colored tights, I think my plum tights have proven to be the most versatile.  They add color on days where I don�t necessarily want to add COLOR but want a little something.  If you�re still on the fence about colored tights, try plum, burgundy, rust or olive � they�re easier to incorporate into a neutral wardrobe than bright tights.

*What�s this?  You didn�t know I was hosting a giveaway?  Well, I am.  Karina Dresses was kind enough to provide me with this lovely dress and are going to provide one of my fabulous readers with a lovely dress of their own.  Interested?  You can enter, and find a discount code for $30.00 off, here.  But hurry; the giveaway closes tomorrow night at midnight, PST.

And, that�s it for me this week.  I have the rest of the week and next Monday and Tuesday off.  I�ll be working on a project, catching up on my mending, finally putting my clothes away and hiking in Eastern Oregon.  I�ll try to take pictures of the interesting stuff.

I hope everyone has a fabulous New Year!
