I felt tired and sluggish today - must be the heat. I needed loose, comfy clothes.
Thanks for all the suggestions for tops for yesterday's skirt - looks like I may have to go shopping (oh no, gee). Heh.
No worries today. I love this top, which I last wore to see "Beauty and the Beast" with my female fam back in May (
here). I wore it with my emerald culottes then - and I do believe it's time to wear those again!
The little white drapey cami makes another appearance - seriously a great piece in the summer. I last wore it just
this past weekend, over my purple maxi dress.
I couldn't face wearing a stiff skirt, so I went with my loose t-shirt material Floating Gold Iceberg coral one, last seen
here in March (2nd outfit) with floral tights and a denim skirt. I'm glad to be wearing this in warmer weather - it was divine.
The stuff:
Yeah, I know: Woo! Look at those shoes! Aren't they a marvel? I get limited wear out of them because, let's face it, there are only so many ways one can wear aqua, orange and cream snakeskin print sandals. I wore them three times in the July 2012 capsule (recap
here).
I can't wear them too much, not just because of the colour combo being restrictive, but because of the height - those suckers are just over 5", including the 1" platform. My feet are feeling it, and I still have to go work at my WW meeting tonight. I think flats are in order for tomorrow.
Bling things:
Bugs! Cicadas, to be exact. And I rarely go more than a few days without wearing my Wendy Brandes rings. Love 'em.

Oh yeah I hear you, but those shoes are GORGEOUS! In the first picture, the straps down the top of your foot actually looked like pretty stones -- sort of shiny but not too much. Then I find it's snake skin print. And I love the colors. Love your shirt too. It is beautiful!

PS -- thanks for the steampunk suggestion. you know I am thinking along the same line. :)
That's what I miss about daily outfit pics -- going back to see the last time I wore one piece, only to discover it's been a while since I've worn another! Also, those shoes should go with anything, they're that great!
ReplyDeleteAwesome combo~ And good call on the shoes too. I never expected to get half as much wear as I do out of my colorful shoes, but I actually get quite a bit!
ReplyDeleteYou really pulled out some stunning pieces today - the top, the shoes (!) and the cicadas! Oh my god, the skirt, too! And all that color - it's just fab!
ReplyDeleteI LUUURRVE that top! Perfect with the shoes.
ReplyDeletewow - great shoes! i love a shoe with personality, don't you? love your look from head to toes and fingers : >
ReplyDeleteLove that top, it's so nice with the red skirt. The detail on the back of the skirt is a lovely touch too! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you feet recover from a day in tall heels! :)
I love this top on you - I loved it the last time you wore it and I love it again now! Such rich colors! And the shoes! LOVE them, want to steal them!
ReplyDeleteOh my those shoes are freakin' incredible!!! I love the chinese top with this skirt--the color combo--the juxtaposition of the different style!
ReplyDeleteI love the peekaboo detail on the back of your skirt. That and it's loose and stretchy/comfortable, you say? Keeper!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colour combination, and those shoes are awesome - but I couldn't walk in them, so I'm impressed you did a whole day! xxx
ReplyDeleteOh, I am in love with the cicada earrings! Wherever did you find them?
ReplyDeleteThey are by Erica Weiner: http://ericaweiner.com/collections/earrings/products/cicada-earrings#.Ud5MuvnVCKE
DeleteI got them at the Smoking Lily store in Vancouver.
Beautiful shoes, what a colour combination. You look cool and summery...
