Another beautiful day! I feel like wearing lots of white and yellow, and emulating all the daisies filling up the grass boulevards.
The yellow is this cute little bolero-style cardigan, which I had in the August 2012 capsule (recap here), but only wore once (here, with my cosmic swirl dress - and look how nice and red my hair is there!).
The skirt is my new-to-me Bedo stiff cotton one, thrifted just a couple of days ago here, for $14.50.
The stuff:
I wore these shoes only once (here, with a dress tucked into a suede skirt) during the July 2012 capsule (recap here). I had done a fairly restrictive colour capsule that month (yellow, orange and teal, with a bit of black, grey and navy), and I had another multi-coloured pair of shoes (teal/orange/cream) in that capsule. A bit of duplication is fine in a big wardrobe, but not so much in a 30-item capsule. One of those handy things I learned along the way!
Anyway, I do like these shoes a lot, so for now they will stay in my wardrobe. Thoughts on the new skirt or the white top?

I was "meh" on the shoes -- good basic, but no shock and awe factor. Then I saw the back -- love! The only things better than fun details are UNEXPECTED fun details!
ReplyDeleteI think a black and white print skirt is extra versatile...I always like how they go with bright pops of color, like your super cute cardi. That yellow is great w/your hair :) Loved the outfit...you look terrific!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't expecting the yellow on the back of your heels--what a nice touch!
ReplyDeleteThe shoes totally go! I adore that skirt. Such a fantastic shape. Love the top too. I think it's a great layering piece. More interest than a plain white tank or cami would be imo.
ReplyDeleteLoving the skirt! Def keep it and put into heavy rotation, its so versatile and very flattering.
ReplyDeleteLove the whole outfit. Shoes totally work, and like it more cause it's not matchy matchy.
ReplyDeleteLove this look - I'm crazy for that black and white skirt!
ReplyDeleteThe back of the shoes totally make them - I agree with Cara, otherwise I was like, eh, these aren't Sheila's usual pizzaz and then I see the back and I'm like wow, these are great!! I really like the pattern of the skirt too.
ReplyDeletesooo true, I say that all the time, " they don't have to match, they just have to go". I'm an asymmetrical, non-matchy matchy person anyway--and I think you are too! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThe yellow bolero is so happy and springy!! I love the top--the front is stunning and the skirt is just adorable --and with it's neutral print can be done up in so many different ways!!
ReplyDeleteYes, i knew you'd rock that skirt !
ReplyDeleteLove the yellow bolero, definitely a cute Spring piece, and the chevrons of the white top add interest and a flattering shape. The skirt is great, love a bold monochrome print, and so many colours would look great with it.
ReplyDeleteThe shoes - wow! Fabulous heel detail! xxxx
I love the new skirt, and the white top is so pretty, especially with the yellow bolero :) I really like your orange and yellow shoes too :)
ReplyDeleteKeep everything please! The whole outfit is fresh and lovely. It is funny that your colleague thought the shoes didn't match. I am afflicted with matchy matchiness, but even I can see that all the clours go together, even without the flash of yellow at the back...
