I'm PMS-y right now, so everything feels puffy. I went for comfort today.
I also have my zipper rose pinned at the waist (picture here).
I love this skirt - and I highly recommend that if you buy a light-coloured maxi skirt that you get one you can wash! It rained on the way home and this soaked up the grey water off the sidewalks. Yuck-buckets!
Top (Talbot's, thrifted), skirt (Club Monaco), shoes (Kenneth Cole Reaction, consignment), necklace pendant (gift from Mom), earrings (vintage), rose (Victoria & Albert Museum gift shop).
Tonight, L and I are going to see Janelle Monae. I had to change due to aforesaid skirt issues.
What I don't see? My keys on the stair by my hand. Arg, I locked myself out. My kindly neighbour let me in when I buzzed her. Thank you!
I also have a nice stretchy belt on. I'm often uncomfortable sitting in a chair for a long time, and get twitchy, so I like loose clothes.
Dress (Majora, thrifted), belt (Plum), shoes (Clark's Artisan, consignment).
My cousin went to Janelle Monae here in Winnipeg, and said it was a great concert. I'm sure you'll have a great time!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great long weekend and enjoy your show! Sounds like a wonderful plan. Stay dry out there.
ReplyDeleteI swoon for that maxi every time I see it. It is such an elegant and versatile skirt. Still looking for my perfect pleated maxi, but not rushing it since it'd likely just have a kitten dangling from it :P
ReplyDeleteI'm smiling at the "no-keys" story - because it is very familiar : > You look wonderful to kick off your extended weekend - I hope it's big fun.
ReplyDeleteThat's my problem with maxi skirts/dresses - the dirty hems. It can be a real pain.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these outfits are great but I love that dress on you. Happy Canada Day weekend! I hope you have some red in your July capsule. =)
Ooh Janelle Monae, how fun! I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteComfy clothes are definitely a necessity at that time of the month! I love the shirt you wore with the maxi skirt, especially with the rose pin.
Happy Canada Day!
You look stunning in maxi skirts. A maxi usually hangs like an oversize shopping bag on me no matter how hard I try. What is your secret?
ReplyDeleteThis is actually a very slim cut maxi - it's a thin fabric and it's really gathered at the waist. I think that makes a huge difference! Good luck on your hunt for that perfect one, Maria! And thank you for reading! :)
DeleteLove the second outfit! :) You manage to look stylish when you're looking to be comfortable, I often have my worst outfits when I just need to be comfortable!
