When I slipped on these navy, white, and camel striped pumps, I was reminded of a memorable gaffe by an incredibly smart engineer I used to work with, who referred to a novel problem as "a camel of a different stripe." Huh? This man, despite his high IQ, managed to mangle multiple idioms on a monthly basis. This delighted me no end, though I'm fairly certain he mixed metaphors on purpose. In a meeting he once declared a topic as "a whole different kettle of wax." When we neared the end of the discussion, I couldn't resist asking whether we'd covered the "whole ball of fish." Of course, he took my good natured ribbing with a smile and retorted that working with me was more fun than a "barrel of worms." I think I'd have preferred being compared to a "can of monkeys...."
Anyway, another Hump Day brings another way to wear camel. I don't think I've ever paired this skirt with the same thing twice! See other looks here and here. It's the perfect neutral to take a wardrobe over the hump from summer to fall. Is camel a staple in your closet?
Happy Hump Day!
