Is it really already Monday?  This weekend flew by and my body did not want to wake up this morning.  I have a big week a head of me.  All I can think about is that this Friday I have to conduct a meeting with all of the sourcing managers in Walmart…no pressure right?  I can do this…hopefully.

 Moving on to the outfit…this is my first time wearing strait black with cognac color.  I put my shoes on and my huzbind was all like, “Uhhh, can you do that? I thought that was a fashion no”  Well it probably is a fashion no, but rules are made to be broken so here it goes.  I am still not sure if I love it, and I think it is because its black, cognac, and gray.  I think I would like this look better if I did not have the gray blazer with it.  But anyhow- here’s to taking risks and going outside comfort zones.

Also for those of you who are like me and have mispronounced cognac your entire life please read below:

the incorrect pronunciation of cognac: (cog-nack)

the correct pronunciation of cognac = (cone-EEE-ack)

Keep on practicing! and I hope your Monday is a happy one.

    It’s definitely not a Fashion No!

    Browns and Blacks are both neutrals. You can definitely mix two neutrals.

    There is even an outfit on the Devil Wears Prada movie where she wears a black dress, black tights and cognac boots. Love it.
