A Girl Named - Brett

All week I have been emailing back and forth with someone setting up a volunteer opportunity.  In one of my emails I expressed an interest in what I would like to do.  The lovely person emailed me back saying that was nice, but that they could really use a man in the back to move and haul things around.  I just shook my head and emailed her back that I was indeed a woman and not a man.  This is certainly not the first time that has happened, nor will it be the last.  Just last month I was called to jury duty and the complete process of questioning potential jurors ( of which I was one) came to a crashing halt because they were looking for Brett, the man juror!  

The crazy thing is that there has never NOT been a woman named Brett.  There are at least two semi-celebrity women with that name.  Brett Butler (what ever happened to her anyway?)  I mean she had her own sitcom in the 90's.  If you are of an age, and watched any game show in the 70's you have heard of Brett Summers, x-wife of Jack Klugman.  Of, course there is Brett Main in John Jakes book, North and South.  So, my point is ~ why just assume I am a guy?  If my name were Taylor or Morgan or Logan you wouldn't assume that would you?

So having said that, I felt the need to wear a girly color yesterday.  I pulled out this sweater, which is more peachy than pink, but still a girly color.  I got it this spring, so I wanted to make it more fall like.  I thought that by putting the navy cami underneath, it gave the look just the edge it needed to look like a fall piece.

Then I added some harder jewelry to complete the look.  Normally, I would have worn jewelry with a softer color palette.

What is your opinion?  Was I successful in transitioning my soft spring colored sweater into a look for fall?
