It's so tough to get back into the swing of things after a long weekend. But oh well. Here we go, another week.
The shoes are fantastic: I love the colour, the fit and the soft lime green suede. I thrifted them back in June 2010 for $6.00. I've also worn them here (July 2010), here (2nd outfit, July 2010), here (Sept 2010, in possibly my worst outfit ever!), here (May 2011), here (2nd outfit, July 2011), here (3rd outfit, Aug 2011), and here (Sept 2011).
I'm now at 9 wears, so that's less than $1.00 per wear! Woo!
I was a little leery of linen pants, but they've held up well all day.
I focused on the accessories:
 |
| I look like a major dork there |
Blouse (Song, thrifted), pants (Smoking Lily, consignment), shoes (Circa Joan & David, thrifted), earrings (Le Chateau), necklace (Mom's, vintage 70s), buttonflower (gift from Megan), cuff (SkinzNHydez).
Bonus: I got photobombed by my neighbour this morning.
Love this combo! The linen pants are too cute. The buttonflower works awesomely on that neckline. (Btw mind if I snag the top photo for Sew Sunday?)
ReplyDeleteThe pants remind me of a pair that I keep running across in Goodwill, they're lime green with a sailor-style waist and somebody keeps putting them in the small section despite them being an XL.
Eep! About the neighbor, but the first thing I did notice was his shoes.
Go for it! You can always steal a pic for your buttonflowers. :)
DeleteHa! That last photo is priceless. Your neighbour does have great shoes! Your influence perhaps? The dragonflies are sweet - those bugs have really been on my mind lately. I like those colours and pattern a lot.
ReplyDeleteWow, your neighbor looks like rather a galumphing photo bomber in this pic, but I have to forgive all for someone who is wearing what looks like purple shoes?
ReplyDeleteYour shoes are perfect and I want them. Bad :P Love your fun earrings, and linen pants. I like linen, no matter how much it wrinkles. Maybe because it's wrinkled :P
Yes, those are purple shoes - he's an artsy type.
DeleteThanks! I am new to the whole linen thing, so we'll see how it goes.
Lime is so yummy, especially the shoes. They were such a great find. And your neighbor does have some smokin' shoes, too.
ReplyDeleteOMG you got photobombed!!!! I am laughing so hard I am wiping away tears. He just...lumbered on through, didn't he? Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteYeah, pretty much. I think he thought I was just having a sit-down out there.
DeleteYour pretty green theme is smile inspiring.
ReplyDeleteYour neighbor has some cool purple kicks!
That's hilarious, but I love the way you're checking out his shoes!
ReplyDeleteYour celery shoes are yummy and I see I'm not the only one using that adjective. ;)
The last photo is so funny - poor neighbour not realising he was interrupting a photo shoot!
ReplyDeleteReally like the print on your top :)
Great colors! The top is fun without being over the top. And you can never go wrong with a MMD buttonflower!
ReplyDeleteYour neighbors shoes are awesome! And too funny that he just walked right on by and didn't notice the camera!
Lime and wine - sounds like somebody was thinking about sangria? I am stealing this color combo, as they are two of my favorites but I've not worn them together. Amazing that I didn't think of it sooner since red and green are complimentary colors. I'm going to expand and consider shades/tones of complimentary colors to broaden the options. Love the blog, dearie!

Thank you for commenting, Nan! Mmm...I do love sangria, what a great idea.
DeleteOOOOO I LOve this outfit and the color combo!!! Another one to try!!
ReplyDeleteI think the Aqua fluevogs have competition for my shoe-love now--they are AWESOME!!
Hahahah, I am laughing at the neighbor photobomb- like his shoes.
ReplyDeleteI am always worried that the neighbor (he's a Doctor) that parks next to me sees me taking pictures of myself - the other day I surprised HIM when he was taking a picture of himself in the elevator haha :)
You look adorable...great outfit! I want some of that dragonfly fabric for quilting.
ReplyDeleteApparently, your neighbor's attending clown college! :)
Maybe your neighbour *does* know you have a blog, and is desperate to be part of it?
ReplyDeleteLovely mix of colours today!
Lol, that last pic is hilarious, the neighbour totally stealing your show.;)
ReplyDeleteFabulous trousers. I have some linen Smoking Lily pants that I love. Those shoes are awesome!
