So, as I mentioned yesterday, I went on my lunch date today, and it was lovely! I looked pretty lovely as well!
I didn't wear my new skirt as planned; and it's a good thing I didn't because my friend was very casual. Good thing I kept it simple as well...well, my definition of simple!

| Pretty and cool in coral and blue! |
Going from toe to head: I am wearing tan lace-up platforms from Mango. I am in love with these shoes and like most shoes from Mango, they are surprisingly comfortable:

| "Thataway" by China Glaze on the toes: perfect match with my shirt! |
The dark blue linen pants I am wearing are from Splash in Doha. If I remember correctly, they are men pants. I bought them last year because I needed blue slacks to go with my work uniform. I have never wore them anywhere but work and I haven't worked at that job since May 2011. I would have never imagined I'd be wearing them on some flyness; they were uniform pants, for crying out loud!
So not only was I thrilled that they still fit, but all this time I've had them, I didn't know that there was a strap on the inside that, if you cuff the pants, connects to a button on each side of the pants. Hellooooooo, capris!

| Old pants worn a new way! |
The coral/salmon tank I am wearing is from TJ Maxx. I bought it when I was doing my Spring shopping and I think I bought like three or four other items this same color: a cardigan, a few maxi dresses. It is just the quintessential Springtime color and I love the lace detail on the hem and the neckline: very feminine.
The beaded bib necklace I am wearing is either from Mango or Zara. I can't remember; I've had it for a few years now. I thought the colors complemented the tank well and pulled the pants in with the rest of the look. My bra straps are showing here and normally if I am wearing a tank like this, I go strapless or bra-less (my boobs are small, I can do that) but because I wore my cream Nicole Miller high-low blouse over it, I wore my favorite t-shirt bra (I like the soft roundness it gives my bosom)!
I also love how my nail color complemented the color of my tank. I wore "Thataway" by China Glaze on my toes but on my hands I wore "Four-Leaf Clover" (which my date complimented me on, by the way! :)
My ring is from Accessorize, I believe. Another one of those items I've had so long, I forgot where I bought it from. It coordinated well with the cream blouse, of course, as well as with my pearl drop earrings, which I know with a certainty are from Accessorize.
Clearly, this was my favorite place to buy jewelry when I lived overseas. I was pretty impressed with the jewelry I saw in Target a few weeks ago so that may be my new favorite spot but if all else fails, thank God for online shopping!
I also pulled an old pair of glasses out of storage. I'd actually forgotten about the two-tone coral and green Emporio Armani eyeglasses I bought in Doha back in 2005. Look at that; I was rocking color-block way before color-block was the hot block to rock! And they looked super-cute with my outfit!
So what ya'll think? My new friend seemed to like it a lot! ;) But I want to hear from my fellow fashionistas! You like? :)

Okay, random: but that quote just made me go and listen to the song again and it actually has me in happy tears right now so I am going to share it here!
Okay, off to have a little private jam session! Vibe with you lot later!
