This is my new top that I got at Winners last Friday:
I am not usually one to go with pastels (this is mostly mint green), or those "slash" dye jobs, but I liked the purple, burgundy, blue pattern over the green and the top looked cute on. Okay, the $10 price tag also convinced me.In case you can't tell, I'm wearing burgundy boots (last seen here), a brown lace skirt (last seen here) and a purple long-sleeved tee (I had also packed my navy underflounce skirt, but it was too short to show under this skirt). Hmmm...my "teeth" necklace barely shows. What's up with that?
I liked the sleeves on this tee - something a little different. I've got wings!
It's also been a year since I started doing pee-pushups (have you been doing yours? scroll down) and I love that my arms are nice and shapely and strong!The stuff:
Mmmm...shiny red boots...A close-up:
You can see what I mean by the "slash" dye job.
You can see what I mean by the "slash" dye job. Tee (Casual Freedom), long-sleeved tee (Press), skirt (Planet), boots (Aldo outlet), earrings (gift from Elaine), necklace (The Bay).
I was JUST thinking about the pee-pushups at the gym today! I can't get the back of my arms to firm up no matter how much I use any weights or machines, and I knew I read about those someplace in Stylenation but couldn't remember exactly where.
ReplyDeleteThat necklace was pretty cool, although definitely not what I envisioned when you said teeth!
The shirt is awesome! It'll also be really cute styled for spring/summer. The boots and necklace really add a nice edge to the outfit.
ReplyDeleteAnd hey, if you and I were the same shoe size, I'd be borrowing those boots asap.
Excellent new top to go with all the other awesomeness in this outfit. And I don't get why that necklace didn't show up!
ReplyDeleteYes, I've been doing my pee push-ups. 'Did 30 just today and thought of you (not in a creepy way).
Love the boots - fabulous colour. The top is beautiful & a bargain. Love those fluttering wings! Strong arms are the best. I've been doing some pretty medieval things at the gym but the results are very pleasing. Biceps! I don't know how I got by without them.
ReplyDeleteLove your wings and your boots, the necklace looks a little dangerous, be careful! lol
ReplyDeleteNice colors, Sheila. They are "You"! I REALLY liked that gold, open-necked sweater you wore a couple of days ago. It was even MORE "You"!
ReplyDeleteThe concerts sound fun. OUR fun the other night was watching "It's Complicated" (dvd)
Very autumn-y! I have one slash-dye deal and it's very hard to talk myself into wearing it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have slacked on pee pushups but I will get back on it pronto!
Ha, Anne, get on those, girl! :) No, they are more like creepy "Alien" teeth than animal teeth. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMegan, thank you. Yes, I'm looking forward to wearing it without a layer underneath. Heh, I'm size 40/9-9.5, sorry!
Thanks, A-Dubs! I think the silver blended with the mint green. Good for you! Ha!
Thanks, Baxter! I love these boots too. I know - we women need to make sure we keep (or get) muscle mass as we get older, too!
Alison, thanks - get out those boots, they sound fabulous!
Thanks, Lisa - ha, the necklace *is* a bit pokey.
Rebecca, thank you - I'll probably wear that again soon, it was very snuggly. I know you love the yellows! A movie night is awesome - I did that last Friday with my hubby.
Thanks, Freeda! I was cautious about the slash-dyes - they can look...wrong. Get back on those push-ups, girl! :)
HOT Boots !!! I have some red boots that are similar.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Emma! I love them.
