Khaki Shorts & Red Sheer Blouse: A Little Subdued

Yes, I realize this outfit might be a hair off the beaten path for me. Typically I’m sporting some element that doesn’t quite belong and I never, ever dress like a teacher unless I have no choice in the matter. And this outfit is admittedly rather teacher-esque. The thing is, you gotta keep ’em guessing. When I wear something like this to work it confuses people. I like that. The unexpected is good. And I love that my unexpected is everyone else’s idea of expected; therefore the expected becomes the unexpected.  How’s that for a riddle wrapped inside of an enigma?

To save myself from an acute case of neutral overload, the khaki shorts, nude wedges and white tank needed a bright spot. Hence, the lite-brite red sheer blouse. Lite-brite red…maybe that should be the next Pantone color of the year. Sometimes an all neutral palette is a good thing; no color required. But if you’re feeling froggy, then add a hit of just about any bright color to liven things up a bit.
