This outfit is more my style. No 6" heels. And no ankle socks. It was another Monday back at work and time to look profesh. There's no better way to step up an outfit than with a snazzy little wool blazer. The weather also gave me a hand and cooled down just enough so that I wasn't sweating in my layers either. With all these favors in hand, this outfit couldn't not be worn! *

It's Color Brigade time again! This week, I mixed together some olive, gold, gray, and navy!

Now it's your turn! Link up your colorful outfits below.

Note: feel free to link up any outfit you wore in the past week or an outfit that you'll be wearing later this week -- it doesn't have to be something you actually wore today!

Add the Color Brigade button on your blog sidebar (copy the html provided). Entries without this button will be removed.
Submit your link by clicking on the "Click here to enter" button at the bottom of this post. Please have an outfit that combines at least 3 different colors. Prints count as 1 color (e.g. leopard print = 1 color)
In the "Link it to:" field, please provide the url of the specific post (not the url of your entire blog, lol).
In the "Caption or Title:" field, list the different colors you're wearing. Example: Gold, Cream, and Red.

You're done! Go back and check out the other amazing entries from members of the Color Brigade!
