I had this shirt and skirt together already in my closet, musing about wearing them, so when I grabbed the belt back last week, I automatically draped it over the hanger.
- Shirt - Just Cavalli, Roberto Cavalli, consignment; last worn here in September 2024 with my now-gone skants
- Denim patchwork skirt - Free the People, consignment; first seen here in May with shiny boots and stripes
- Boots - Donald J. Pliner, vintage 90s, consignment, Sidney; last worn here in May with my Halston Ultrasuede dress
This was such a fun outfit to wear, all floaty sleeves and flapping skirt.
This is one of the denim maxi skirts that's better than my skants. Yes, you are, you're a good skirt!
Gotta love a skirt that makes your butt look good.
I wore a camisole with shoulder pads under the shirt to define the shoulders slightly.Accoutrements and stuff:
It's a pretty close colour, and I could always go over it with a lighter turquoise. And isn't that a gorgeous belt? I was so silly to let it go, and I'm relieved to have it back. *hugs belt*
The boots are comfortable enough to walk in (although the toes are a little squishy), so I ambled both ways. The temps were not as toasty, and there was a lovely breeze.
- Plush bum-bag - thrifted
- Leather belt - Brave Leather, thrifted
A very clever - but anonymous! - reader suggested daubing nail polish on the spots that are missing the plastic stones, layering it up and even putting white under it to make it match better. Well, I half-arsed it, and it's good enough!
Turquoise bling:
Vix to the rescue! She identified the necklace as Nepali - this is a good article here (no pop-ups) about the art of jewelry-making in Nepal, which is mostly done by women. This necklace was a pleasure to wear - I'm a fan!
And now...off to enjoy the weekend! Thanks so much for being here - be sure to check back on Sunday for tales of adventure!
