Today is blustery and windy - I'm just back from the local school field where L and I threw around the Frisbee for about 45 minutes. That's just as good as going to the gym, right?
- Cardigan - Gap, thrifted; last seen here in June with red and aqua
- Blouse - Cleo, thrifted; last worn here in March with my weekend maxi
- Skirt - Lord & Taylor, gift from mother-in-law; last seen here (2nd outfit) in April with red brocade
- Shoes - Big Presence Desmond, Fluevog; last worn here in May with buttercup and daisy
The cardigan is a fun colour and although I like to bare my arms, not so much today. Cardigan = good in A/C.
Rip rip rip. I can't stand it anymore, so I'm putting it in the giveaway pile. All day, I thought about my other white skirt (this one), and about how nice it is, with its cotton eyelet and how it doesn't freakin' rip every time I look at it. I can't even think about it - it's making me all rage-y.
The stuff:
Shiny silver bling (I forgot to take the picture):
- Bracelet - Fossil, gift from L
- Earrings - Fossil, thrifted
- Fulvia Ring - Wendy Brandes
And now...dinner!
I like the colours in this outfit! It's a shame about the skirt too, as it is very pretty, but there comes a point where practicality becomes more important. You gave the skirt a good run despite it's rip-heavy design! :)
ReplyDeleteRip? Rip rip rip? No, that's not gonna work.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen Sheila's post from yesterday about the meetup? That girl is funny!
Arrggh - no more ripping. It's time to say farewell. Great look, though and the shoes are outta this world. xox
ReplyDeletePS It's winesday - wish we could meet for a Pinot. x
Please tell me. Did you wear that outfit while you were frisbee tossing? That skirt is really cute but I totally understand. If we can't count on our clothes what CAN we count on?
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, that rrrip sound is sickening to hear. And then a quick damage check, and hopefully a tiny sigh of relief. Ba-bye skirt. I love the outfit though. Gap makes the best cardigans. I have a thrifted blue one.
ReplyDeleteConnie, no! I always change to workout clothes for the gym or any kind of running around. I have been known to toss the Frisbee in a dress, but not in a pencil skirt!
ReplyDeleteBye bye skirt! Sometimes cute designs made in a poor material just suck. Love the Fluevogs. I think with your shoe collection, it makes sense that every single pair doesn't get worn all the time. But happy to see those coppery beauties.
ReplyDeleteTerrific outfit! I love the color palette at work here. It really says August to me. I was wearing a similar one the other day myself, pairing a vintage mustard yellow paper bag style skirt (my only such paper bag skirt at present, as it's not usually the most flattering style on me) with a aqua cardigan.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific Thursday!

What a shame...cause it is a gorgeous skirt. Not cool though when you're wondering if half your butt is hanging out the back.
ReplyDeleteLUV those shoes!

See?? This is ladylike but with a Sheila twist. You style ever so well. I would never have come up with that cardigan and the blouse underneath it on a white skirt. Applause! Looks so good. And the shoes... oh big want. I love those shoes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity that the skirt annoys you so much as I think it flatters you so much. Great legs too.

Oh I remember when you got this skirt, it was with you MIL - and I remember too that you had second thoughts about how it was made… so sad to see it go as it is a beautiful garment.
ReplyDeleteBut, if its going to rip, what's the point ?!
