Well. I think it took me until about 1 p.m. to feel fully awake. So since I got dressed far earlier than 1 p.m., I reached for a relaxed, cozy, leggings-based ensemble. I loaded on the jewel tones to keep things lush and lovely. But really, there’s nothing like jersey, cotton, and a warm cardigan to help a gal ease into the day.
And yes, I have very purple legs.

lol at the purple legs comment. That’s my favorite part of your ensemble. Very cute.
Sally, I like your idea of color blocking with jewel tones. It is so much less Sesame Street than color blocking with primary or neon colors. I bought my first pair of leggings today. Now I just need to line up a few tops that cover my butt.
I love that you’re so colorful, but everything goes together so well!!
You look a bit like a superhero in the tights and boots (in a good way!) 🙂
Very nice color combo, Sal – you look great, and ready for anything. I’ve got bright blue legs today, so we are leg-sisters : >
Color tights are something new to me this year but I have had so much fun with them so far. Still have unworn pair of mustard color ones – any ideas how to pair?
Thanks

Mustard looks great with gray, maybe try a gray skirt for your bottom half.
love the jewel tones!
Love the purple!!!
Finding your blog and reading through it has inspired me to wear way more colors the past year and purple is one of my favorites!
I really like it. Just this weekend I decided to try color blocking and this gives me some ideas.
yep, it’s true – I totally went for leggings (sheer, lightweight wool ones) and a slip under my skirt to keep me warm and cozy all day (with a hoodie sweater under my leather jacket and fuzzy cabled gloves).
in other news, came up against the brains/beauty binary again today! A paper I’ve written on the hegemony of culture in McQueen’s fashion was accepted to a major international conference in Paris next summer (yes!). It’s the big times. Yet, when I applied for travel reimbursement, the head of my program sends me an email to ask for more information. Am I *sure* that I got in, he asks. sigh. I fwded on the acceptance email. Yep, there’s nothing quite like getting a phd when the head of your program introduces you based on marital status and date of your last haircut instead of the quality of your research, eh?
First, CONGRATS SARAH! Amazing! Second, how incredibly frustrating. Will you be out from under this person’s supervision soon, I hope? Bleh.
thanks! As to the latter – not until I finish my phd! That’s motivation for you, eh? (But I don’t expect to be teaching next year – and while that means I’m on my own as far as finding some kind of funding, it does mean I’ll have less contact with this person. Silver linings, eh?)
I think this is such an amazing look, it’s so chic that I had a moment of disonance reading your description about this being a comfy ensemble. The boots and necklace just “make” this outfit, you look great!!
By the by, I am on the lookout for quality leggings, which brands would you recommend?
Old Navy leggings seem to hold up pretty well. Target ones are OK, but mine are starting to sag at the knees!
once again – great boots:)
That’s really a great combination! Those purple leggings was a great choice of color…
LOVE all of the jewel tones together! You look amazing!
Love all the berry/jewel tones! And even better that you’re secretly super comfortable!
These colors together are great. I love it when solids are combined like this.
Holy toledo! I love this outfit. I’m always drawn to jewel tones, and you are pulling them off spectacularly. I adore this. Great great great.
As always, I LOVE your colours, Sal. This outfit looks totally comfy and cosy! Sarah xxx
Great job mixing jewel tones! You look great.
