Hello!  It is a yucky, rainy day here in Richmond, but I am feeling peppy in my preppy wide-stripe top.  Maybe I’m just feeling peppy because my husband is coming home from South Dakota tonight and I’ve missed him.  Plus, it’s always nice to have man-on-man coverage with the kids! 

Today I’m wearing a LOFT Black and Green Stripe Top, Size Small (2012) with a LOFT Black Pencil Skirt, Size 4 (2012).  This is one of those “trick” tops.  It tricks you (or at least it tricked me) because you think it’s black, but then it’s really navy or vice versa.  I was on the fence about what color this top was and I decided on “Soft Black.”  It definitely seems to match black better than navy, but it’s not a true dark black.  Either way, I like the rugby inspired look and hope don’t think the wide stripes make me look wider, but maybe they do???  I like the mix of a preppy shirt with a sophisticated skirt. I think it’s a fun, but professional look for work.  I accessorized with a bold Blue and Green Cabochon Necklace by Pim+Larkin, which can be found on Piperlime.com (here for $38), simple gold earrings and Jessica Simpson Black Strappy Heels with Bow detail (2012).    

Have you ever bought clothes, thinking they were one color only to realize it was a different color?  Thanks for stopping by!
