Black and Denim




All remixed except scarf

Dress: Target
Jacket: Banana Republic
Belt: Target
Scarf: Target
Pin: ? Super old
Earrings: Buenos Aires street market
Boots: Nine West

Today's outfit was inspired by two of my fellow bloggers: Shey of Modesty is Pretty and Liz from lizzypunch. I'm still participating in BBCA brought to you by the lovely Melissa as well, even if it's just with my default butterfly pin.


To answer a few questions brought up by yesterday's post: We're moving to Costa Rica to work with an organization started by a friend from grad school. He and his family are working in a town that was severely affected by an earthquake about a year and a half ago. We're going to help with some of the projects that they're working on there, particularly teaching at the school and helping with some ideas they've got for tourism (meaningful vacations and ecotourism type stuff). I'm hoping that I'll also be able to work out some student leadership type stuff involving students in the US and other parts of the world and students in Costa Rica - this is actually one of my dreams and I'm looking forward to the opportunity to see these ideas put into practice.


Besides that, this is what I thought to myself today as I was walking home from the train thinking about taking pics for the blog:


Dear Frances,
Stop wearing so much black!
That is all.


P.S. Can I just tell y'all that this is the first post coming to you from my new computer?

  1. Oooh, you got a new computer? Yay!

    Don't worry about wearing a lot of black. You have a knack for mixing it up and you never, ever look boring! Black is classy, so you just wear it as much as you like!

  2. Hi,

    I was looking through profiles which match my same likes and I discovered your blog. I like your site, I think you are very unique in your posts and I like it.

    Would you come and visit my art blog? Its not a professional art site, but I try to post labels of all sorts of expressionism.

    So what do you think? If you follow me, I will follow you... :)

    Well I hope to hear from you soon.

  3. I find I often fall into clothes wearing patterns, some weeks when I just wear black in excess, some weeks nothing but pencil skirts; lately, scarfs.

    I'm sure you will find yourself in a different pattern soon.

    I hope you have an amazing experience in Costa Rica,
    and I love those boots!

  4. You can never go wrong with black and you - you never go wrong with anything really either!

    Wow, you are moving to Costa Rica! That is such a great cause! Can I come and help?

    besos,
