Do you have that one item hanging in your closet that you just never seem to reach for? There’s nothing wrong with it, it fills a gap in your wardrobe…and yet…

That’s what this grey cardigan is for me. I’ve had it for about three years and it’s been a stop-gap until I find the PERFECT grey cardigan. And I can’t really pinpoint why I’m not more fond of it – well, it has no pockets for one thing…and I’m not a big fan of the cocoon shape on me…and it’s a lighter shade than I’d really like. So I keep letting it just hang around even though I really show it no love.

UNTIL this fabulous red plaid top arrived from Gwynnie Bee! As soon as I saw the top I was like The Grey Cardigan!!!  I could have worn it with my black cardi or even my heathery blue one…but nope, I wanted the grey. I like the fact that while there is no grey in the top, every color in it goes nicely with grey – the winey red, the black, the blue. That’s my favorite kind of pairing – where the things complement one another while not necessarily matching. 

Are there things in your closet that you think could use a new friend?

Here’s a look at where I was shooting this day. I had some time to explore a bit on vacation and visited a near-by beach. Not like a “going to the beach” beach, but a good spot less than ten minutes from the apartment to go with my chair and a book and a beverage and sit and watch the sunset. I didn’t do that much as usual last year cuz I was missing my companion Caleb.
