I've been wearing the same black cords all week it seems and the fact of the matter is, I wasn't at all happy with the way this outfit worked as a whole. The top half looked pretty good, but somehow with the skinny black pants it didn't really fit. I think I'll have to find a good skirt if I want to try this outfit again. I love the teal and brown combo though. I pulled this sweater out of a drawer chock full of forgotten sweaters from high school. I have no idea where I bought it and only have a general idea of when (probably in the late '90s). The brown shirt with the tie is a hand me down from my great aunt. I've had it for years, but have only recently started wearing it under V-necks.
