Endnotes:
Another take on the blue and green analogous color combo – only this time I’m wearing intermediate colors such as blue-green and yellow-green. This color scheme seems softer than yesterday’s bolder look with the primary colors blue and green.
On a different note, I realize that I am wearing yet another polka-dot blouse and can only explain it as a subconscious tribute to my childhood hero Minnie Mouse . For other examples, see here, here, and here. Oh well, it could be worse. My other childhood hero was Alf - let’s just be happy I’m not harboring latent desires to look like him. -S.

Lovely, lovely color combo. I also really like the shapes here–the flowy sleeves and tie at the neck contrasted with the fitted vest. I love polka-dots, too. Maybe I’m subconsciously influenced by Minnie as well?
