So, I really wanted to wear something in the vein of picture #2. I really loved the colors and the balance of pattern and color blocking. I couldn't just wear the same thing simply because I did not want to wear a skirt and tights today. I thought I would challenge myself to come up with something that felt similar but was different. #1 is the result. What do you think?

They are both fantastic! As you said similar but quite distinct.

DV, this looks like a homerun to me ... you are the master of color use in my book ... you never miss! Looks fantastic!

I can definitely see the inspiration from your previous outfit. It's fun to challenge ourselves, especially when the result is a fabulous as this.
Looking good!

Karie - I think you hit the nail on the head. I need a challenge other than deciding what to wear :-)

Day Vies, I love how you've kinda rearranged the colours... still black, white, green and the skinny yellow belt, but moved around. It's a nice example of working with a defined colour palette.
I hope Angie won't mind me using the word 'killer'..but it is :) It's great to see you posting again DV and looking mighty fine too.

You've captured the essence of your original outfit very well, and created another fabulous outfit. I love your use of colour blocking - really striking.

Great remix, this has the same color blocking vibe, just without the skirt. Nice job!

Great fit for the pants, and such a fresh color scheme! Will have to note it for myself. Love both your outfits! YLF, Day!

Both versions are great, but the white sweater in #1 really pops!

I think it looks great - and you are in a great shape post-baby, DV!
Teal and white are your colors.

They are both fab, you did a great job in finding a similar feel with a different look.
I am fascinated with the process of getting dressed every day -- to me this is more challenging than getting dressed for a big event because what I wear is dictated by my activities, work environment, and the weather. Living in a climate that guarantees four seasons (or at least two extremes) provides both challenges and inspiration.
