I played around in my closet, giving myself some creative time to distract my brain.
I had to style it again right away to apologize for my egregious cull. It was so lovely and soft and such a good colour.
I'd rashly put this chartreuse cardigan in the Limbo pile when I did my closet swap-over. What was I thinking? I tore through the bags, and grabbed it back. Regret-me-not!

I loved this new-to-me Club Monaco skirt. It's not quite an A+ skirt (no pockets), but it's close! Comfy waist, beautiful drape, slinky lining.
The bold Marimekko print was the last piece that I pulled - I held up a few different tops to see what looked best.
The spots gave a good sporty vibe that appealed to me.

Yes, I did just colour my hair - hair is armour too!
I'm not sure why I grabbed this brown leather jacket, but I rather like the mix.
I like the bits of the tee peeking out at the hem and the collar.
I didn't take the cardigan off, but I could have just worn this.
We're getting warmer weather finally, but it's not THAT warm.I'm not sure why I grabbed this brown leather jacket, but I rather like the mix.
I snapped the cardigan up when I had my coat on.
Accoutrements:
More spots. I did not need these on the way home.- Silk scarf - consignment
- Leather gloves - consignment
The stuff:
I had over 100 emails to get through, so I didn't do a lot of walking around the office, but these new flats were excellent for the day.
Copper bling:
I really liked how the copper "woke up" the neutrals and contrasted with the chartreuse.

One more day and I'm off for another 5 days, woo!
I love the combination of that Agnes B cardi and the Marimekko, European chic! Your hair is looking fabulous. I hope the last day at work flies by! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Vix! Same - the weekend cannot get here fast enough!
DeleteWhat were you thinking indeed! That cardigan is the perfect shape and the most gorgeous shade of chartreuse. Swooning over the Marimekko top!
ReplyDeleteI'm joining you in taking the next 5 days off, by the way. Enjoy your time off! xxx
Right? Sometimes I wonder what was going through my head, Ann! Hooray, enjoy your long weekend, my dear!
DeleteLove love love all the copper bling! Wow, what a collection/selection of pieces. Am sooo glad you retrieved the chartreuse cropped cardigan – it's a perfect length and fit, and gives 'umph' to whatever it is paired with, playing especially well with the Marimekko large dots. I'm with you on the brown jacket, it meshes nicely with the sweater and dotted top; yay for brown as a neutral.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your upcoming 5 days of R&R or whatever you and L have cooked up!
Cheers, Laurie
Thank you so much, Laurie! I love having these pieces back in my "wardrobe." I know, I am not even sure why I took it out of my closet! It's awesome!
DeleteIt'll be a nice quiet weekend, enjoying the company of my friends (there might even be a party in there!). Happy Easter to you and Fred!
Love the copper shoes. Years ago I had copper ballet flats and they were do versatile. Ones without the bows, not my thing so much. The skirt looks good. The shape of the tee works perfectly with it. Hugs Lise
ReplyDeleteI have missed my old copper heels, Lise! It's such a good neutral metallic for me. I hear you on the bows, no thank you. :) Thank you so much!
DeleteI have loved Marimekko since Banana Republic did a collaboration with them years ago. But, I’ve never had any. This tee is just perfect with your regret me not cardi! I actually thought, “What? No jewelry?” until I got to farther down. Then, I scrolled up, and there it was! This is such a beautiful look! And, the copper shoes pull it all together!

I've had a few pieces from the BR collabs. You know I rarely skip jewelry! Thanks, Marsha!
DeleteI don't think this skirt is you, but I like the top and the cardigan.

I think you have a good point - I have a better and more interesting grey skirt. Thanks, Greetje!
