Mustard + grey

This Sunday is bittersweet...I leave for the rural section of my pediatrics rotation today so Stephen and I went to mass last night. Afterward, we went out to dinner at my favorite restaurant (which is not Stephen's favorite). Stephen was starving so we ordered the 'artisan cheese plate' for an appetizer and he was not impressed: 'do people really like to eat plain cheese crumbles'...'does this cheese look moldy to you?' (it was blue cheese). So next dinner date is his choice...

This was my weekend project:

Yes, that is a Christmas card and it is two weeks late (but it does say "Happy New Year" too...). It was kind of a spur of the moment decision to send Christmas cards (maybe slightly encouraged by the fact that they were 40% off post-Christmas) and I don't love the ornament design (it was the only card that send Merry Christmas and Happy New Year). I also (finally) finished my wedding thank yous...please don't judge me that I mailed some of them with the Christmas cards....

Sunday's outfit: This mustard skirt along with this mauve blush one were two 'investment pieces' (at 50% off) for my 'work' wardrobe. Yes, grey and black would have probably been more versatile, but aren't mauve and mustard more fun? I love mustard and grey or ivory, but I'm also finding that it works well with pale pink/peach, burgundy, and mint...

Linking up with Fine Linen and Purple for What I Wore Sunday!

Still trying to master the 'looking down' photo...not quite succeeding

I couldn't make it too long without my new North Pole coat...
