I'm Blue (Da Ba Dee)

Wednesday's challenge theme: "Be Blue". Which instantly brought to mind this old club track:



Be Blue ba da bee blah blah blah... That track was playing in every club when I was in law school. As I was dressing Wednesday morning, it kept running through my head. So now I'm passing that on to you :-D I'm pretty sure I still have it on CD somewhere....

But back to the challenge... I picked up this knit jacket at the Fashion Bug closeout sale, and decided to debut it for the theme:



I stopped at the fabric store and picked up some shoulder pads, which I hope to install this weekend. I think I'm going to move the buttons to reduce pulling at the hips, too.



The necklace colors were a bit closer to the jacket's that this pic makes it appear:



I thought my octagonal hoops would be more appropro than regular ones. I lost one, and it took the store months to locate a second pair for me. I'm glad they came through, though!



I just went with plan black flats to avoid the previous day's flooded look, and to keep from distracting from where it was intended... the blue jacket and necklace.

I added a silver-tone clip in my hair to echo the jewelry:



I got a lot of compliments on this outfit at work and from Hubby.
