Adding a little color

I have a bad habit of equating work appropriate clothes with the color black. It may be partially due to my former fat days, and thinking black is slimming. But I am trying to make an effort to change that. So today I put on a bright turquoise sweater. Now I am wearing in with black boots, black tights, a black skirt, and a black blazer. But at least it is some color. And the skirt has turquoise, green, and white polka dots. The picture today does not show the blazer, as I had to pick it up from the tailor (was getting sleeves shortened), and thus didn't have it at home when I took the picture.
