Dress Out Loud

I like it when things go boom. Not with sound really, but more with sight. There is no greater joy than dressing in black from head to toe and then bam! A metallic gold blazer (do they even make those?)  Ok, so maybe it's not that big of a boom to the rest of the world but it is to me. When I was putting my outfit together this morning I was tempted to finish it off with a black blazer or black cardigan. Definitely my normal style. But as I put it together I began to feel as if I was missing something. The outfit was simply to dull and black. I know it's Monday, but that still doesn't call for me to dress as I'm going to a funeral. I needed color. I needed something to go boom. So I rummaged through my closet until I ran across my comfy, red blazer. I threw it on and thought "yes! Now this is what I needed."  

    I had a similar issue last Sunday when I found myself wearing a black slacks and a white blouse to church. My gut reaction was to reach for the black blazer, but I knew the outfit called for something a little more. Blue it would be.
