Yup, the orange crinkly top is not making the cut.
Pros: Great colours, fun texture, groovy hem and cuffs.
Cons: Rides up, creates giant dunes of fabric across my chest, bottom flips up and stays that way, sweaty.
It's in the wash, ready to move to a new home.
The skirt is one of my favourites - hopefully I'll wear it more than once this year! So many skirts, so little time.
Isn't it lovely? I adore all these citrus colours together.
More colour!
Feeling blurry. I walked home partway with the coat open.
But it was mostly still too cold, although it was bright and sunny.
I did forgo the gloves on the way home.
Accoutrements:
I did not need the scarf on the way home either - it matches the boots perfectly (not a surprise).
- Scarf - Fluevog
- Gloves - thrifted
The stuff:
My colleagues were big fans of these booties. Such a great colour - and pearlized! - and so comfy. I felt like a pink countess in my Super Fine Countess boots!
Green and pink bling:
I love wearing my lemon-lime crystal set - they belonged to my Gram S.

Springtime in a skirt with the color, pattern and what I am sure is top-notch swirlability! I like the stockings and shoes together with the skirt, but I’m there with you on the top. Top be gone! So special to have your Gram’s jewelry. ❤️ When I wear jewelry or clothing that was my Mom’s or Aunt’s it always feels like getting a hug from them.

I love the boots and I totally agree about the top. It is fine when you stand up and don't move. I have made this error in judgement many a time.

I love all the colour-and what a beautiful skirt.
ReplyDeleteThose boots are gorgeous! After a long Fluevog drought, I went crazy and bought two pairs for my recent big birthday...thanks for the encouragement 😂
Happy Thursday✨
Those boots are fabulous with the Fuzzy Flamingo! That cuff is gorgeous! x
ReplyDeleteBarbie boots! The shoulders are too long on the crinkle top, making the arm holes too deep. It's a tricky alteration to do, so you've made the right decision to share it.
ReplyDeleteI'm due back at the office on Monday, so I'm hearing you on catching up on emails and all that ...
ReplyDeleteI did guess the crinkle top as it couldn't possibly have been those amazing booties! This outfit is such a blast of gorgeous citrus colours though ... But isn't it a shame the weather's still too cold, even if the Fuzzy Flamingo is always a sight for sore eyes? xxx
The skirt is amazing so it couldn't be that! The top is a bit too much for me anyway, let alone the cons! The coat looks amazing!x
