Yellow, Dots and Bows - and the Theory Blouse

More yellow today! It was warm and muggy today, so the perfect day to go sleeveless and wear wool. 

 This outfit was built around the top - everything else is all "that old thing."

• Top - H&M, thrifted; purchased here for $10.00
• Skirt - Mister Leonard, vintage 80s, thrifted; last seen here in September 2017 under a denim dress
• Shoes - Lola Ramona; last worn here (3rd outfit) in September 2017 for the annual Vintage Expo
• Jacket (below) - Club Monaco, thrifted; last seen here (3rd outfit)

I had lots of compliments on this outfit, particularly this bright vivid yellow skirt.

 It's a summer-weight wool, fully-lined, made in Canada - and of course, it's vintage. I bought it in February 2014 (here) for a whopping $8.50. Add a couple of zeros, and maybe you could find one this nice now in a store. Maybe.

I loved this top - it is such a nice fit. It came with the grossgrain ribbon belt - I'd intended on leaving it off, or adding my own belt, but in the end, I really liked the bow at the front.

 It went with the bow on my heels! Triple bows! I win!

Outerwear - it was supposed to be smoking hot out today, but instead we got grey, humid and windy.

 This jacket gets worn a lot - it's really good coverage in spring.

Feeling casual...

 Nothing like a pop of yellow!

• Hat - thrifted

The stuff:

 Polka dot and striped shoes! These are leather and they are very comfortable to wear. I love the little kitten-ish heel.

Yellow bling:

 My big cuff I've had for years - I think it was around $3.00 in a thrift store years ago.

• Cuff - thrifted
• Crystal/silver ring - Soul Flower
• Shield ring - Nine West
• Bakelite earrings - vintage 60s, vintage fair

Okay, yesterday I had planned to wear this Theory blouse with my Dries Van Noten striped skirt (refresh your memory here).

 Here it is, tucked into today's yellow skirt. It's not that bad...I can see why I bought it - cool collar/neckline.

Long shot. I'm not a fan of that sleeve, nor that it makes my shape disappear (compare again with today's top above). That deep box pleat in the middle of my chest makes my boobs disappear - I like my boobs, no!

 I'm in my walking-home shoes, ignore them.

Some of you suggested untucked, like a tunic.

"But what about my luxurious tail?"

 It's quite long...and it's even more shapeless. I don't think I would ever wear it like this.

Back view, tucked in. The fabric (cotton) is woven to be semi-stiff and it wrinkles if you even look at it - this is steamed!

"I'm confused - are you leaving me again?"

So, I think I will stick with my decision to turf this, unworn - I'll put it in the giveaway pile.

What do you guys think? Do you agree with my choice? Do you feel better now that you've seen it on me? What would you do to style it?
