Here Comes the Rain Again....And the Sky is Gray

So it was so lovely yesterday and today it is gray, rainy and I feel just blah! I am posting this right before I go saddle up furbaby in his green raincoat to go for a walk. Yep...furbaby hates to get wet so this will undoubtedly be a short walk. In honor of such a gray day, it's back to black and gray with only a spot of color:

black turtleneck
levi gray demi-curve straightleg jeans
black Bass laceup knee high boots
black striped jersey scarf from Talbots
black suede rainhat
poppy red raincoat from Eddie Bauer.

Hope it meet with YLF approval. Sorry that the closeup is sans makeup but I so didn't want to do anything other than sunscreen and lip tint. Couldn't even be bothered with putting on eyebrows!

Off to rotate tires for a friend

I'm off to help a friend with a sports car get her winter tires switched with her general tires. Her car is too small to carry those tires so I am bringing my jeep with the other tires down to Les Schwab to get them rotated and then bringing the snow tires back to her place for her. Pre YLF I would have worn yoga gear probably but I decided to go ahead and dress properly. What a good influence you all are!

WIW
dark wash skinnies
gray BR turtleneck
coral jean jacket
taupe Born shooties
multi floral scarf

Opinions and suggestions appreciated. I am happy to say that the skinnies are only starting to feel a little baggy and this is after 4 or 5 wearings so they are definitely holding up well before needing a spin in the washer. I'll probably also wear this to dinner with family at twinnies house.

Today I am teaming an orphan AT leopard cardi (gifted from my twinnie) with all neutrals except for the red raincoat. Hope it meets with approval. Here are the elements below:

Levin demi-curve black skinnies
Born taupe shooties
BR black vneck tshirt
AT leopard cardi
gray trusty faux leather jacket
leopard scarf from TJMAXX
red raincoat
black suede rainhat
