Preen Queen: Bella Struts Her Stuff
"For man, as for flower and beast and bird, the supreme triumph is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive." -David Hubert LawrenceThere's something about the color combination of deep blues and greens that sings to me. There's a quiet pride to these colors, especially when accented with a bit of red. Not loud, but in heard across the room sort of way. I'm wearing my favorite plaid blazer ever, AGAIN, which is a good thing. Come official signs of summer, this tailored wool gem gets stowed away until Fall. The plaid peacock (I've christened the blazer) made its debut blog appearance HERE, which is quite a style shift from the look below. That look was more "street," or downtown; this one is um, midtown? It's not uptown, or poshy, but it is a city look, and great to wear for mobility. It's a look that I'm proud of.

If you consider sneaker wedges practical, then I'm very practical and on-the-go. I'm not sure where I'm going in this ensemble, or why I'm staring down that brick wall. But clearly, I'm preening.
