Sweatered All Over {BEWARE: Photo-Overload}

Shhh...don't tell, 'cuz it's kind-of-not-really illegal, but that's a real Army-issue overcoat! Stolen from hubby.

Pose? I dunno what I'm doing, don't ask me. BLUE STEEL.

the outfit at its most basic

OOPS!  You caught me doing some laundry!

Sorry for the Photo Overload, but this outfit was just too fun to play with!  Sooooo many options/layers/textures...denim and corduroy and cable-knit, OH MY!

I've been seeing a trend of wearing thigh-high stockings/socks lately.  Decided to try it with the only thigh-high thing I own: those ivory cable-knit socks.  Turned out like I wanted it to: very innocent-looking.  Whew... Thigh-high things are suuuuper risky, I think. 

My Gauge of Approximate Tartiness is how comfortable I'd feel running into my extremely conservative mother in the outfit in question. 

I'd feel fine meeting her in this.  :-)  So it passes.
