Giiirrrlllyyy Blogging: Polyvore Challenge

From a cat of impossible color, a challenge from MLF and Fleur De Lice. It's based on this question: "How do you add your personal stamp to your outfit? If I asked you to slip on a pair of jeans, a simple top, a pair of flat shoes, and any accessories you liked, what would you come up with?"
So, here we go:


This is more of an everyday, running errands-type outfit. The headband's because my son's just reached a hair-pulling phase, and so I've been pulling it back, out of the reach of his little fingers. Plus, I have all kinds of hair clips and headbands with flowers on them. I love wearing flowers in my hair. The necklace is actually similar to one I own, and I own a Target brand version of those shoes.
I made another one, too:



For good or ill, that's pretty similar to the kind of outfit I'd wear when I was at school. I'm partial to shades of blue and green, so most of the clothes I wear fit in that color scheme. This is the sort of outfit one could wear on a fall day in Louisiana. The jacket and scarf would provide extra layers for a cool morning, but they also wouldn't be too stifling when it would warm up during the afternoon. I do not own a pair of purple shoes, but they are certainly on my shopping list, and that bag is the closest thing I could find to the big brown bag that comes with me nearly everywhere.
This actually wasn't really all that much of a challenge, as I tend to prefer to wear classic pieces in neutral colors, adding a few extra details in accessories and such things to make the outfits at least a little more interesting. I also tend to wear scarves and necklaces because I prefer to attract attention to my face.
