Right now I’ve got a song in my head and it just won’t stop. It may be due to the fact that I heard it sung live the other night, or because it’s one of my favorite songs of all time. Either way, my brain is currently a little unfocused (lack of sleep could be a factor in this as well), and I’m hoping this shakes off soon (didn’t I say that yesterday? it really has been one of those weeks).

When you were growing up, do you remember hearing never to mix black and brown? I always thought that was such a silly statement, and never let that get between my love for pairing and layering neutral colors together. I’m actually pretty smitten with the mixing of colors in this sweet tunic/dress, and found it fitting for a warm afternoon in Phoenix (and for an evening at one of my night classes as well).

Scott is also a big fan of mixing neutral colors together. For the both of us, I think this tendency/love for neutral layering has definitely been a progression over the past five or six years (still can’t believe we’ve been together almost six years!). I remember in high school I really loved brightly colored band t-shirts, and was always a fan of “loud” shoes. For Scott, he wore a lot of black (yep, he was into Metal!), but was always into the occasional loud shirt and red shoes. Today, we both still really love fun shoes, but I think our style is definitely more “grownup” (or, at least we can never say no to a great neutral or classic piece!).
