Off to Mass in a few minutes, wearing: 



I don't really have to wear purple today, since it's a solemnity, but I did want to wear blue, and yesterday's grape cardigan was still lying out, so I put it on again. I like it, anyway, and I like these colors together. Repeating also my Xero Colorados, with my Camellia wool dress, which always makes me feel good.
