Greener on the Other Side

During winter I bought my first piece of Issey Miyake, this forest green velvet skirt with turquoise backing and lots of wrinkly details:

During winter I also spent a lot of time staring at this plant in my kitchen, thinking about wearing the combination of dark bluish green with yellow-green.

I've had this Zero Maria Cornejo tank top for a while, yet had not figured out how to wear it. Inspired by my succulent I dreamed of this outfit:

Speaking of succulents, we are moving to the other side, where they really are always greener. I'll miss going out to Tin Fish on Lake Calhoun in the spring, and seeing these vibrant budding leaves on the big trees. But this green is far too temporary for me. In less cryptic terms, we are moving back to California, this time to San Francisco. And here is another outfit with this skirt, taken before eating delicious foods.

I call this silhouette the "reverse hourglass," and I'm A-OK with it.
