It is hot. Wish I had some lighter cardigans that matched this dress. Guess I'll go with the bright blue, because looking like Mr. Met is what all the cool kids are doing. Wait, what? If I wear two incredibly bold and seemingly unrelated colors next to eachother, I can call it colorblocking and get away with it? Sweet.
* orange jersey dress- C + C * blue cardigan-- White + Warren * nude flats-- Steve Madden * parrot fedora-- Eugenia Kim for Target * sunnies-- H&M *
And the jersey dress + light cardigan formula rears its comfortable head yet again. What can I say? Heat makes me a creature of habit. Today I went on a wild goose chase to one thrift store that had nothing I wanted and two that didn't actually exist in the listed locations. The last being about a mile away from the subway station. Thank the Lord for my flat-wearing ways, or I'd have been hobbling all the way home.
We're hosting Sabbath lunch this week, and I unknowingly created a mostly Mexican meal: Gazpacho for a starter with homemade pita chips, grilled skirt steak salad with arugula, shallot and tomato, grilled BBQ chicken breast, roasted corn salsa, Israeli couscous with pesto and toasted almonds, grilled asparagus, tomato and baby zucchini, watermelon, lime, basil and mint sorbet and cupcake brownie surprise. Which is essentially what it sounds like: a vanilla cupcake with a gooey brownie center. I got a head start on cooking this afternoon, so I thankfully don't have too much on my plate tomorrow. Yet another perk of unemployment.
What are your weekend plans?

These colors look amazing together -- and I love the nice touch of the stripe on the hat matching the cardigan. You totally pass the color-blocking litmus test. ;)
Adore the color palate here! If this is the habit you gravitate to, I'd say habits are pretty great. :)
Sigh. When I see your Eugenia Kim for Target parrot hat I get a lil' sad. My got crushed some how and it is totally unwearable. What are you tips for hat storage?

GREAT colour combination. I'm not usually a fan of orange. The blue works perfectly. This weekend? Shul, of course. Pajama Havdallah at shul for the 6 and under set. Then a reception for our highest donors. And a fundraiser on Sunday for our local Bureau of Jewish Education. Just a regular weekend in the life of a rabbi ;)
I love this combination!! The royal blue is perfection with the orange dress. Also, that hat is super cute (I think that every time you wear it). Have a great weekend!
Hey Nina! I've been keeping up with your blog (I love it!). The sorbet sounds delicious. I didn't realize that you were no longer @ Eldridge St.!
nice colors! do you remember when i used to get the rubber bands on my braces in mets colors (or were you too young when i had braces?) who knew i was a fashion icon!!!
Orange and blue are awesome together - they're my college colors :) My husband believes that orange and blue are appropriate for every occasion, including weddings, fancy dinners, and decorating rooms in our house. He has an orange and blue corner in our guest room, but I know he's looking for a way to have an entire orange and blue room. Anyway, you look great. Jersey dress + cardigan = winning combo.
i would consider this a color-blocking success! the orange and blue look stellar together!

Absolutely love this look! Anything orange is reminiscent of Jil Sander's Spring collection to me. Perfect with the hat :)
