A Whiter Shade of Pale

The calendar says it's summer, even if Mother Nature isn't cooperating. Screw it, I'm wearing white!
This is my "wings" white and taupe lace vintage top that I wore twice in the January 2013 capsule (recap here). I've been looking forward to wearing it in warmer weather, and really liked how it went with this pretty little cotton skirt.
The skirt was featured in the September 2012 capsule (recap here), where I also wore it twice.
100% cat approved.
Funnily enough, both of them are thrifted and neither of them have labels. I suspect someone removed the label from the skirt, but the vintage top is handmade so never had one.

The stuff:
My new-to-me thrifted white shoes (last worn only a couple of days ago here) were even more comfortable today. It felt like I was wearing slippers today!

Both the eyelet skirt and the lace top feature floral patterns, so I had to go with my bigass peony at my waist.
Simple accessories otherwise. Getting my cost-per-wear down on my Fulvia ring - woo!

Edit: I just noticed - this is my 1,500th post. Holy samolies! That's a lot of posts...Thank you all for reading, commenting, lurking.

  3. Wooo! Congrats on so many posts. Also jealous of your comfy white shoes. I've been hunting and hunting a pair of white ones, but yet to find the right pair that can stand up to my walking. Comfort shoes are hard to come by.

  4. WOW! - 1,500th post? You need some kind of award for that. Some shower of confetti or something. Congratulations. It is definitely a labour of love and I love your posting too. Thanks, Sheila. Great outfit with the white. Mother Nature seems to have gotten cold feet re. the whole summer thing.

  5. It's more of a subdued palette, which is very sophisticated, but the details in each are what make it all the more interesting!
