Jun 7th - Outfit #7 - Seersucker and T-Straps

I felt great in today's outfit!

Maybe it was the flash of bright orange in the boobular region? I had at least two people today demand to know what I was doing wearing orange when I was supposed to be wearing neutrals - I had to explain that I never wear this lace-trimmed ribbed tank on its own, so it doesn't count as a clothing item in my capsule. They seemed slightly mollified.

The rest of the outfit is all neutrals, though, starting with this awesome short-sleeved jacket. Actually, to call it a jacket is somewhat of a misnomer, since it's not lined and it feels more like a thin shirt. However, it's styled to look like a jacket with a bit of a vest in the middle, so we'll stick with that designation. I last wore it here, back in August (it's been packed away with the summer stuff), and first wore it here in March 2011 when I bought it. I paid $18.00 for it on consignment.

I adore this skirt so much. I pranced around the office today (like a pony!) because the ruffly edges made such a lovely swirling motion. I thrifted it here last month for $16.00.

Ah, the long-lost "stuff" picture!

You can see the great grey and cream stripe of the seersucker fabric better here...but I know you can't take your eyes of my fabulous Fluevogs! These are from the previous incarnation of the Listen Up family (it's a different heel than the current Listen Ups - look at the heel of the ones I wore yesterday and compare). These are called the Harlow; I last wore them here last November.

Previous appearances: April 2011, August 2011 (2nd outfit), Feb 2011, Sept 2010, April 2010, October 2009, August 2009, May 2009, Jan 2009, and April 2008. That's 11 times since I started my blog, but I owned them for at least two years before that - they are one of the few items in my closet since before I lost weight. They are my very first pair of Fluevogs ever!

I love how the seersucker fabric is sewn in different directions.
